How can people actually cut themselves?

People cut themseles because of emotional pain. They feel really sad, and left out, and depressed, and whatever. And they think the best way to deal with it is to cause themself physical pain, to make them forget about the emotional pain. My friend used to do it. She said after doing it for a very long time, it stops hurting. And then they do it more and keep on doing it constantly to try and cause pain, but it just dosnt work anymore.

I used to cut myself sometimes. I done it because it was easier for me to feel pain through the cutting, rather than the emotional pain that was burning inside me. It was as though the physical pain helped to block out the emotional pain, which was so bad that I felt like I wanted to die. Don’t judge me for trying to find a way out. You won’t understand until it happens to you. But I hope it never does.

I think some people cut them selves for attention…and thats just dumb. other people do it to numb what ever pain they’re dealing with. kinda like drugs. its a temporary fix…you cut, you hurt , you focus on the pain at hand, but after that the problem is still there.

when you cut, you dont really feel the apin. its more like an icy tingle followed by a warm feeling. cutting is a way to release pain, frustration and anger. most people dont see it like that tho. glad I could help here. emo boy, AWAY! flys away

cutting yourself actually realeases a chemical in your body that calms you down. I used to cut myself and it really doesnt hurt after you get so deep. it becomes addictive because of the chemicals realeased in the body while cutting. its a hard problem to get over so I dont recomend starting it although it does help in the short term

It helps release the emotion that is really bothering them. We dont do it for attention we dont need the aproval of other people so quit saying that we do it for the attention its not true so just mind your own buisness.

ummm because the fell like no one wants to talk to them so they do that to be hurd they jus fell left out and when thay get sad,mad,confused they do that sometimes people call it emo but I dont listin to waht people have to say and when they do it its not because of drugs!!! my firendsz use to do it all the time around me and after awhile I felt what they were fellin so now I understand…trust me…

Actually cutting yourself is when you fell very left out, sad, depressed, confused and … I do it too when I am sad. But if you really are sad you cut urself you fell no pain at all after cutting what you will feel is happy and it’s not all about getting attention…

Cutting releases anger, depression and such moods as that. Most of the time some people dont feel the pain, its for of a cold sensation followed by warmth. I dont know how to explain how that happeneds. it just doese.

=] hope I helped
