It gives me a feeling of release, as well as a sense of control.

>>936755468
but you're out of control

Life long cutter and self harmer.
I have major depressive disorder and suicidal ideation.

Psychological and psychiatric evaluations as well as my own introspection have let me to figure out I cut because it allows me to put my emotional and internal pain into a psychical form, so that others can see it too and it's not something invisible that only I am aware of.

>>936755468
i think there is also the endorphin release from having survived the attack.
I personally think it is a crutch like tattoos for emotional heavy baggage and using the bodies natural numbing agents to transfer emotional pain into a physical manifestation and let the body numb the site.
the thinking bit of the brain kicking the can to the automatic part of the brain and calling it good

why do men in their mid 30s complain about women on 4chan

We, the jew, injected the trend of cutting so we can have another visual indicator of the girls that are mentally damaged.

this might have some credibility

it's just a distraction. it releases neurochemicals like painkillers and adrenaline. pretty much the same reason anyone does any addiction.

>>936756114
but its the natural human response to not hurt themselves and to avoid pain so obviously theres something mentally wrong to rewire your head to find pleasure in pain like those in bdsm relationships as the sub

attention bottom line

>why do people cut themselves
Legitimately, the majority of cutters are people who were sexually molested when they were younger, and cut themselves as a means of having some control over their body while also discouraging people from sexually molesting them again.
The attention-seekers only cut a little to make a spectacle about it. Real cutters cut themselves to relieve their pain and to scar themselves, to discourage future attacks. It's actually very sad, and well-documented.

>>936755178 (OP)
for attention. Notice how they can't stop showing them off and trying to get other people to notice them?

>>936755178 (OP)
they are just going through a phase

sexual trauma

>>936755178 (OP)
its weird that hot girls do it when their lives are so fucking easy.
but usually its BPD. they experience emotions 10x harder than normal. so when they're happy theyre fucking ECSTATIC, when they're angry they smash shit up everywhere and scream like Karens, and when they're sad they get suicidal and cut themselves.

>>936755178 (OP)
Because it's illegal to cut other people

>>936758540
so they hurt themselves?

>not something invisible that only I am aware of
Just talk about it to other people then

>>936759033
Most have a lot of empathy, which stops them hurting others, but also feel emotional pain much more intensely, of others and of themselves. Hurting yourself before others can is a way of retaining control

>>936759566
but if you get hurt anyway you just doubled it

>>936759627
That's major depression for you. Therapy and two kinds of medication just to keep the suicidal ideation at bay

>>936755178 (OP)
attention most of the time because they won't speak

>>936759310
I didn't say it made sense. But yeah, I do talk to people. I see a psychiatrist every few months and they are still trying out different antidepressants on me every few months to try and hopefully eventually find ones that work, and I see and talk to a psychologist every fortnight.

I wish I wasn't like this, but I'm 35 and I've been this way since I was 13.

Got a great life, wife, son, family. Good career and not struggling financially.

Everything rationally says I should be happy, and I'm so much luckier than other people.

I get all of that. But I still just have really bad days and end up hurting myself.
At least it's better than hurting other people.

They were. That photo is from a few months ago, cigarette burns. Antibiotics fixed them up though. I appreciate you trying to help either way mate.

Some people go a little too far while still being mentally stable enough to know that what they are doing is irrational
