so i started to cut myself. My sister found out and wanted to talk to me. She asked me why do i do it and i couldnt tell her…i couldnt tell her that the pain from cuts makes me forget about my mental pain, it also kind of feels good. i just told her “i dont know” and kept quiet. I promised her not to do it anymore, but i couldnt keep that promise. Instead, I now have scars on my legs. Much deeper scars. and it helps.

It feels good, I don’t know why but stopping gave me headaches. Now I want to go back, because it makes me forget, but I can’t cause it seems hard.
Enjoy that good feeling you get and I hope your better at hiding at then i am.
It may have to do with, if you receive some sort of “high” from it, the absence of these endorphins once you stop. I suppose it could be kind of like any other type of dependency people develop.
Though there are other ways to deal with pain, sulger. But that’s for you to find out, not for me to try to advocate. I would suggest you at least attempt to find other outlets for mental release rather than physical harm.
there are always other ways, I just grew addicted to cutting and i cant seem to let go.
it acctually helps. More than any conversation i ever had about my depression. The cuts are getting closer to the knees and i dont really know how to hide them…
