Ok. I know that must sound VERY weird and bad. Many years ago when my mother was abusive I used to cut my gums. Is that really bad and isn't cutting your skin with a razor 10 times worse. I am the only one to have ever cut myself there? thanks in advance!

Why punish yourself for the wrongs of others? It only tells you that you are much of an abuser as your mom was. Being your own victim doesn't change the fact that you yourself are abusive. When you cut yourself, you are just justifying others when they abuse you. It's like telling them they were right to hurt you because you are insignificant and worthless. Stop it.
I used to cut myself too when I couldn't handle the emotional pain others were causing me. Then I sobered up and realized I needed to protect and love myself when nobody else would. Stop being a victim. Hurting yourself physically is never right, no matter if it's hidden or not.

either way you are still cutting your skin... skin that is your #1 defense against infection. Think of it in terms of a package of cheese all sealed up. If you don't open or cut the wraping, the cheese stays fresh and mold free. If you cut a slit in the wraper and put it back in the fridge, give it some time and you start to see it turn green.
Your mouth has lots of bactieria and yeast and good stuff living there, and it getting into your blood stream would be a bad thing.

It's actually just as bad as cutting your skin, if not worse considering all the bacteria that lives inside the human mouth. It would be much easier for infection to set in a cut on the gum.

the mouth, is the dirtiest place on a human being. i know this may sound strange, but it is true, the human mouth is dirtier than a dogs mouth, again its true. like skin, gums can still get infected and get diseases. so i recommend that you go see a dentist, periodontist (doctor that specializes in gums and gum diseases). hope this helps! :d

Lots of nasty bacteria in the mouth, a good way to make yourself sick before it kills you. Do you like the taste of blood?
it tastes too metalic for my taste.
