It's neither, it's a sickness.. An obsession of self pity, it's selfish and I don't see the point of it. Like I've been through more than most people who do this have... Honestly it is stupid.. I am too with my past, but I move on and become a better person, I chose drugs over a razor blade, got clean, 273 days today and my life still sucks, only thing that keeps me happy is my boyfriend who my father hates. Not because of who he is but the fact that he's 3 years older.. long story short, people who are "emotional" need a reality check, most may have poop lives but people go through worse, may pity themselves but aren't selfish enough to do this.

I got into it because I was beat as a kid, it gave me happiness and an escape, it's experimentation and testing limits of the brain, cutting yourself is pain not numbness and not an escape but an excuse.
Report as
but the reason you got into drugs is the same reason other people get into cutting so it's not really any different is it?

One is suicidal, the other is for happiness and amusement. I do see a big difference yes.
Report as
drugs can kill you as well so that isn't a difference. and you mentioned expirementation right? well cutters can expierement with different cutting objects deepnesses and locations on the body, just as druggies sample different mixtures and ammounts.

Addiction..once you start it is hard to stop. I don't cut but I know people that did and one person that still does. She does it because she is in so much pain inside that she cuts herself to feel a different pain. The ones that cut themselves do need help for sure, not only for the cutting but for what troubles them.

It seems like it's a fad these days.I dated a girl years ago that did that.She had some severe mental issues.It seems like it's the thing to do,or say you do these days to get some pity or attention.

cutting is a desperate sign of mental illness....you need help in realizing WHY you are cutting yourself....please talk to an adult....teacher, parent, school counselor.....

I have been a cutter for 12 years and at times I find it is both an addiction and an obsession.

Addiction, that can become an obsession, i cut myself for 4 years and it went from just doing it once a month to doing it at least 6 times a day. I would do it at school. If your self-harm please get help or tell someone because it will lead you to do more dangerous things.
