Voting Question: This is WHY. But how do i stop?
*The person has strong feelings such as anger, fear or anxiety before an injuring event
*These feelings build, and the person has no way to express or address them directly
*The person feels compelled to repeat self-harm, which is likely to increase in frequency and degree
*The person hides the tools used to injure, and covers up the evidence, often by wearing long sleeves
Cutting or other self-injury provides a sense of relief; a release of the mounting tension
*A feeling of guilt and shame usually follows the event
*The feelings of shame paradoxically lead to continued self-injurious behavior
*When a person injures themselves endorphins are released in the body and function as natural pain killers
*The behavior may become addictive because the person learns to associate the act of self-injury
with the positive feelings they get when endorphins are released in their system
Its an addiction!
Not a choice!!! If i had a choice or ’self control’ i wouldnt.
i cant stop help?!
