*** Trigger Warning ***

I was asked why I cut... There are so many reasons...
To ground myself in this reality rather then a dillusion or the past...
To feel something other than the huge amount of emotional pain I suffer each day
Because I hate myself fo being who and what I am...
Those are the top ones for me...

For me the healing of cuts was also a weird but physical way to reenforce the idea I could heal from damage... It is too hard sometimes with mental and emotional pain and wounds to know when they are healing or being torn open again so cutting helped be try to keep in mind I could still mend. My body could do what I wasn't sure I could do.
@Arctic totally! I feel the same… Some days the. First aid and healing are more important than the actual act itself… Only sometimes
Yeah... I have been known to recut... For the pain...

To feel strong alive and in control
When you can't feel control of your life... Cutting can feel like taking control when you are controlling your body through the knife
