I started cutting myself because I didn't know any way to relieve the stress I had, and I was really lost and confused, so one night I just did. I don't think I was really aware of the things around me, because Im really such a wimp, I cant believe I actually hurt myself on purpose. But I did. I continued cutting for a couple of years, but my best friend found out and she made me promise not to do it anymore, so I gave her my word and tried to stop. But I was really addicted to the pain, because it took my mind off of other things, and I couldnt. So my best friend worked with me to find out why I started cutting. Ofcourse once she did, she decided to tell an adult, so she did, and they got me counseling. Which helped me stop for good. Anyways, I hope I helped some, good luck sweetie!Health Question & Answer
This is going to sound really bad.
When I used to read all the teen magazines, they would some times do articles on teenagers who had self harmed. They all said it helped them relieve pain and stress and made them feel better. I thought nothing of it until when I was about 12 or 13, and I was having a lot of trouble at school with some girls who I thought were my friends constantly bullying and excluding me. I was pretty self absorbed and dramatic and convinced myself life was not worth living and remembered all the teen magazines, I just wanted to feel better really.
What made me stop was that I found out one of my closest friends was self harming at extreme lengths. I don't fully know why but it made me feel like I needed to help her, so I just stopped. Not even gradually, just like that.
I'm happy to say both my friend and I are happy now, and the girls at school left me alone and now we get on really well. How funny.Health Question & Answer

I can deal with physical pain a lot better, if I cut, it releases the pressure inside of me, if I didn't it would build up so high I'd probably have a breakdown.
Pretty much explained above.
If I was on some kind of tablet that released my pressure maybe.? Some kind of thing that made the pressure of everyday life a lot lighter on my shoulders.
I hope that solved it for you, if you want anything more information just ask.Health Question & Answer

For me cutting is like a reliever. When I cut I don't think of the emotional pain. My mind is focused on the physical. I cut because I don't know what else to do, how else to deal with my pain. I cut to punish myself, to make myself worthy enough to be alive here on this earth. I cut to make sure I am real...that I am not invisible, that I am loved. As for stopping that is a major problem. I can't stop; I have become "addicted" as some would call it. I know I need help...but that is what therapy is for right ;PHealth Question & Answer
- Yes and makes moi happier. I don't feel it until there is yeay much done. Now it just makes everything seem more real and some things not as bad.
- Started when I was young. No idea why. Didn't know anyone else who did & had no influences from TV or the internet, just did. Did have an abusive dad & 'pretty' rough time in school.
- Drugs help. Not wanting to be in a mental hospital is another reason to hide it, as is being viewed as an attention seeking moron.Health Question & Answer
