cutting is a form of self-injury (a.k.a. self-harm or self-mutilation) in which a person uses any sharp object to cut themselves. “cutter” is the name, often derogatory and used by uneducated people, used when referring to an individual who does this.
most of these answers listed “attention seeking” as one of the primary reasons for self-injury, but this “attention seeking” is often just a way to get those around you to see that you are hurting. the misconception of mental illness is that its not real- one cannot point to a part of their body and tell you where it hurts, and its often difficult for people without mental illness to understand it. no one self harms without being in pain, whether that be dealing with a traumatic event or feeling unseen. always show compssion, and remember that they are suffering, too.
in general, there are six reasons people self injure:
1. distraction or control
2. a release
3. to feel something when numb
4. to express themselves or communicate and/or document strong emotions they are feeling and cannot otherwise articulate.
5. to punish themselves
6. for a temporary but intense feeling of euphoria caused by adrenaline
cutting is a coping skill developed over time when individuals are forced to deal with prolonged negative emotions, numbness, trauma, etc.
a “perfect life” from the outside perspective is no indication of what actually happens behind closed doors, or what they are experiencing mentally.
