Answer 2

I am again not sure what you are asking, as you have kind of answered yourself already. I am currently 28 and i have been self harming since about the age of 8. I agree that it is VERY addictive and i don't think that i will ever be able to recover completely. I still get the urge to self harm and it has happened a few times recently, it gets easier to resist the urge but it NEVER goes away.

There are varied degrees of self harm and also different ways of inflicting pain/hurt on yourself. I'm not going to go into the ways and means of how this can be done but they can be very dangerous and at the time almost unavoidable.

The best way i can think of describing it is like a pressure cooker that does not have the release valve on it....all the pressure building up inside............when you self harm (whatever way this may be) it is like putting the valve on and all the pressure is let out.

I would not recommend this way of course to anybody, if you feel the need to hurt yourself try and find another way to release the pressure. Self harming is more understood and more known about nowadays that it was when i was younger. Try getting access to a punch bag and spending 10mins beating the hell out of it.

Answer 4

Its when a person cuts themselves to ease a pain of some sort, maybe thats the onyl way they know how to... Its a very serious thing and a person whois a cuter should get help

Answer 5

it means that your life is just so ****** up you don't have any other way of expressing yourself! people SI for many reasons. it does not mean you are crazy but it can be helped! cutting can be addictive and some idiots (emo's) cut just for attention. but sometimes it is a cry for help! i'm not sure exactly what you were asking, but if you want to talk to a self harmer please message me... i am a self harmer, trying to recover.
