Is this a normal feeling when cutting?!
Question: Is this a normal feeling when cutting.?
Well, I cut myself....It's been 2 years now since I've started. I do it like, every 2 weeks or a month apart. I did it again last night; and before that, I did it a month and a half ago.
I did this long 3-4 inch cut across my wrist. Not really deep, but deep enough to bleed a bit. After I did it, from where I cut to the rest of my wrist and hand felt really numb. I started shaking and for some reason started kinda laughing.
Is this normal.? During my whole 2 years of doing this, that has never happened before.
I plan on getting help. I'm probably going to tell the school psychologist...... I'm 13 years old and in 8th grade.Health Question & Answer

Answers:
What you are experiencing is an emotional high, which is just as dangerous and addictive as a drug high. It's a rush to hurt yourself and you will do it again and again.
What's worse is if you get a particularly high rush, you will do it more often and more intensely to get that rush again. Chances are that same rush may never come back but that will not stop you from wanting to try.
Get some help. The addiction of self-harm will eat at you both mentally and physically.
I have been able to control my compulsions for many years now but the physical scars are ugly and I hate having them except to show my kids what their arms will look like if they go that route. Health Question & Answer

Honestly I feel the same way. But I am getting help and going to see a therapist. But I know how you feel and you need to go to see your doctor. See if you have depression by taking the test below and then print it and take it to your doctor.

Your the same as me eccept i realized my problem early. u probably feel a sense of euphoria or maybe you struck a nerve.I wish u well...Health Question & Answer
hey hard times , i myself have been there before, cutting and heavy drug use. i'm sorry that you feel so bad, i'm not a dr. by any means i've just been there before, do you know why you cut, like your triggers might be, what makes you feel like cutting, for me it was a girl and drugs, i was about 15. You might have hit a nerve or something and killed the feeling in your hand. that is really good that you are thinking about talking to someone. because i know you probably don't bolieve this (i never did when i was cutting) but people do care about you, and don't want you to hurt yourself, i don't know what your situation is but its not worth hurting your self there are lots of other ways to make your self feel alive when your feeling dead inside. Mine was music i don't know i'm not a dr. but i care and don't want you to be sad and cut any more, and ya it's really a move in the right direction to go and get help, hope this helpsHealth Question & Answer
