Why do I keep cutting myself!

Cutting -- ironically -- triggers a physical response that releases endorphins. When you're depressed, you usually don't have enough endorphins -- which is the "happy" chemicle in the body that affects a person's emotions. When one gets hurt, the body releases endorphins to help lessen the pain. So basically psychologically you're hurting yourself "to feel better". It's not a healthy thing, but it SORTOF makes sense. What so bad about you, BloodShyne? I don't "love" myself either, but I no longer view myself as such a terrible thing as I once did (I've battled depression for years now, so I sortof get whereyou're coming from). There are a ton of awful people in the world, but I'm sure you aren't one of them. Whatever flaws you have, certainly they're not huge things that eclipse the good things about you...aren't the people that love you proof of that? If you want to stop...which I hope you do, if not for your own sake but for the people that love you...then I suggest you start working on your depression, dearie. I don't know if it's just a simple lack of endorphins for you, but it's possible that if you cn increase your endorphins, that you could get better...or at least get better easier. Running, chocolate, and a balanced diet can help you balance out the chemicle levels in your body. Getting enough sleep and doing things you enjoy is aso recommended.

Hii rey i can understand urfeelings but before harming urself think once "why i should cut myself?what makes difference?" If do cut like that is ur problem solved ,,,or ur feelings lost the answer is "noooooooo".so plzz think about urself and relax for some time and do things that makes others happy being with you. To avoid this its better u should be in group of people and chatting with them and sharing your feelings.

When i was 17 i did that. I was depressed with the way my life was going. It is addicting more than people know. I eventually stopped. I don't remember what got me to stop, but once i stopped i could never get depressed enough to do it again. Please seek help even a friend can help. Talking about whats bothering you helps more than hurting yourself. I know how it feels. You feel like the world is abandoning you or everyone is happy but you are not. I can remember those feelings then. I have some depression now but I have something to live for. Maybe if you find something worth living for you will find its easier to stay happy.

I think that the fact that you posted means that you do want to stop and I don't think that you hate yourself as much as you think. Your post is a cry for help. IMHO, friends and family can offer support but I don't think that they can provide the kind of help that you need. I hope that you will seek professional help immediately. When you put a few years between what you find so overwhelming today, you'll be better able to put those things into perspective. Things really usually aren't as bleak as we think that they are but once we get something into our head, it's very hard to get it out.

oh,I think I have the similar action as you when I was young,but I stopped at last. sometiomes ,I think you just couldn't find a good way to slove the problem in a short time, and you know the problem couldn't disappear because of cutting yourself. Relax yourself ,try to concentrate your attention on the other things,you will find there is still lots of meaningful things deserved you to do . At last , you are not alone,think more about your parents ,their heart will broken if you don't stop hurt youself.
