They seems to be an interesting matter, I'm probably going to check those out too.

i picture it as being a way of redressing one's feelings of guilt over things like inadequacy
>"i'm worthless, i'm a fraud and no one sees, but now i've been punished for it so it needn't bother me for a while."
something like that.

Not necessarily, I think this issue has a lot of different nuances and some would even go as far as being built on top of the physiological processes of pain. I'm saying that because I did burn myself with a cigarette a couple of times, and the thing was that I was in so much pain and it was so unbearable that I was even starting to lose my mind, and as a last resort I did it so that all my pain would be concentrated in one place and I would be able to have some piece of mind and some control over my own thoughts at least as long the pain would last.
And the moment that I did it, it felt painful but at the same time, I can't remember having another moment that was as peaceful as having my belly burned by a cigarette, and for a couple of minutes I had so much clarity that I could even understand the shit that I was in and start turning it around, even to a point of not repeating it too much (I ended up doing it another time because it felt too good, but in a good way, because it let me get control of my mind to a point that I would understand that I was doing a bad thing).
So maybe there are even evolutionary aspects to it.

when i was really depressed once like five years ago. i was like mad suicidal depressed whatever. and i was trying to open this bottle of hot sauce or whatever with a knife and i SLASHED my finger. and i was like 'oh wow. that feels fucking great. that feels sooo good.' a bit of reality when you're darked out.

Oh I forgot to explain the physiology of pain, so it basically boils down to whatever is stronger ends up getting priority over what is weaker. So a stronger pain in a specific area can counter weaker pains all over your body.
