I’ve never cut myself, never.
Though I’ve felt the urge to. Many times. I’ve almost gone through with it but I don’t know why I never can. It makes me feel sick but curious at the same time. Scared that maybe it would trigger more numbness or anger.
I don’t think I will, but, those who do, or have felt some kind of relief from it… what does it feel like really…?

ive been cutting for years, first few times i felt worried but then after a while i just got used to t, it relieves my stress, keeps in my anger , and hurts me more compared to others can ever dream of doing, for me cutting once triggers of a chain of cutting until i become icky then i bandage it up and go about my business
I’ve never cutted myself, but I think they do it for the relief of the emotional pain. Sometimes physical pain is easier to take than emotional.
but from observations it is different for everyone
Yea, I have been doing it for year. 22 now been doing it since 14ish. It has always been a relief of emotions but it has also been to prove to my self of my own mortality. Someday i feel as if i am going to be living this forever and its never going to stop, but cutting shows me how fast life can end as well. That is just my take on it.
A person cuts themselves to feel a sense of control.
It gives them a sense of false relief
It makes them feel alive
I’ve cut most of my life
I don’t cut any more because I get hurt quite regularly in my work. I feel the sense if control and relief by being the best at what I do and not stopping for even a cut. When I see the blood running down and know that I can keep going.. That’s real control, and it makes me feel a hell of a lot more alive then cutting for some stupid immature idealization brought from a lack of other shit to do!
That’s right…I went there
there’s a lot of reasons I cut. the biggest reason is that it’s a release. 1) When I cut, all the built up tension and frustrations just fade away. 2) It feels good. when you cut yourself, your body actually releases Endophines which make you feel really good at the moment, and also make cutting really addicting. 3) it validates my problems. I know how stupid it is, but when I cut, I don’t feel like just another teenage girl with normal problems. I feel like I have a real depression and like I shouldn’t be overlooked as a girl with a broken heart 4) I have an obsession with blood. I think it’s so beautiful. The color, the taste, the warm metallic smell, the way it comes out of you whether it be in a gushing waterfall or pretty little dots like snowflakes or rain on a spiderweb. so yeah… that’s why i cut
