How Do You Get The Satisfaction Of Cutting Yourself?

I use to cut myself. So deep i was in the hospital for about 2 weeks. And i always wonder, if people are stasfied cutting deep in to themselves. Does it make you feel better, like you can finnaly breathe? Or does it take away the pain.

How Do You Get The Satisfaction Of Cutting Yourself?
For me it was a mixture of things.





When I cut, I was focussing on physical pain and the act of cutting, that the emotional hell quieted enough for me to stop crying and hurting so bad inside.





When I saw the blood, it became a dare, will I die now? Its up to me if I cut deeper. I have control over whether or not I breath in five minutes.





It doesn't take away the pain, the pain is always there, it just gets shuffled back a bit, while u focus on your razor blade and your wrists, arms, legs, stomach etc.





Does it feel good? damn straight it does, compared to the other emotions that bring on the urge, it will always feel better.





Is it good? no, it doesn't solve anything





Your pains are still there, even if they don't show up as prominately as the scars do.

Reply:i used to do it...been fighting the urge that's been creeping back up on me. i don't feel anything but numb%26amp;sleepy afterward.then,it's like"did i just do that? i don't remember doing it" and it's surreal.
Reply:For me, for like a little wile it takes my mind off of it (because it keeps me thinking about other things) and then i feel worried because my mom can find out. DONT DO IT
Reply:oh dear.
Reply:For me it always replaced emotional pain with physical pain, and it brought me back to reality; I would often have moments where things didn't seem real anymore... and I still do. Cutting brings a kind of temporary extraction from life problems.
Reply:it moves the emotional pain to physical pain which is easier to handle
Reply:uhh u shouldnt do it... people who feel bad do it to feel even worse and be emo. just please please dont do it. its wrong and hurting yourself is very very very bad
Reply:When I harm myself it's because I've so much on my mind making me so stressed. Self harm seems the only 'legal' way to vent the frustration and anger.
Reply:The base of the brain is allowed auto reflexes and also does the job of routing messages from and to the upper brain. During a chemical change in extreme stress the lower brain sets up errors and then finds an adrenaline or endorphin pleasure. When the brain cools down it has to write a patch to make logic again of the world. One patch we call cutting.
Reply:another example of the simple mindedness of the human species, do they not know that cuuting themselves could lead to the attraction of a fanshlank. Do they wish to become mauled by 12 ravonous creatures or do foolish humans not know when you cutyour selve by chouice you are angering the beings who keep you safe and when they become angered they will irradicate you from their list of keep safeing
Reply:my life was pretty screwed up as a teenager - I'd cut myself to take whatever out on myself instead of others - i was more angry at myself than anything else - my life sucked being in and out of foster homes and having crappy parents. Now that i am 26 and have two beautiful children i have to hide the scars - even on a hot summers day. I am ashamed and embarrassed and it is hard to get a job. Just remember that if you scar your self - you will have them for the rest of ur life. Your life will become better - but the scars will stay there. as the old saying goes: "this too shall pass" remember that on a crappy day and it will help you get by.l





you have the rest of your life ahead of you - it may suck a bit now - find someone who is really good to talk to -





now my daughter asks about them and i can't bring myself to tell her - i just ignore her question, but it hurts me and i feel really ashamed now
Reply:OMG what is with all the stupid answers??! i was even offended by some of them! they just dont understand what its like!


i am a cutter, ive been in hospital and locked up in a mental hospital for a while too. i am 17 and i am trying to stop cutting but it is so addictive! its like trying to give up drugs or cigarettes! it aint that easy!!!


i find cutting give me such pleasure, it realeases my emotions on myself instead of other people and so i dont lose any more friends... i used to do that, attacking ppl and then they hated me!


it helps to balance out the internal pain aswell. and sometimes i cut, just to know im alive! it gets to a point where i think its a dream (or a ******* nightmare) so i have to cut myself to remind me that its real!


i know cutting is a bad and unhealthy habit, but it really really helps!


and to all u ppl answering this question, if u have never cut, dont answer! some of the things u say are offensive! and dont tell us Self Harmers to just stop, because we cant!
Reply:YA. CUTTING YOURSELF IS BAD. SO BAD IT DESERVES CAPS.





I FIND PLEASURE IN BEING HEALTHY AND NOT HURTING, GIVE IT A TRY.
Reply:i find both are true for me i know its not the right way to deal with emontional pain but thats the only way can get the **** out
Reply:Keep cutting yourself and you'll end up having a psychiatrist diagnose you with schizophrenia and they'll make you get injections for the rest of your life.
