Why do you do it?

[alilsa]

To get God's attention since it felt he was ignoring me. Also, becuase I felt the need to punish myself for something. I felt worth less. I cut myself at work about 2 weeks ago and got away with it and made it look accidental. It got infected but i didn't feel anything much for days till my pastor prayed for me. Then suddenly I felt the pain. I don't talk about it much though.

I do it because I hate who I am and who I cant make mylsef to be. I do it to punish mylsef if I screw up. I cut if I eat food or eat and dont throw up because I feel so aweful for what I have done. I do it because it stops my thoughts from racing and for a minute makes it all stop. I also do it because physical pain is so much easier on me than the emotional pain I feel.
I hate mylsef so much and this is the only way I can deal. I feel worthless and like I deserve worse anyways so it doesnt matter.

It used to be to release any sort of emotion, whether positive or negative. Emptiness played a part, as did confusion. Stress triggered cutting as well.

But it's been 46 days since I've cut.
If I can recover, so can all of you.
