Major Depressive Disorder
How does cutting and self-harm help? (Helpguide.org)
“It expresses emotional pain or feelings that I’m unable to put into words. It puts a punctuation mark on what I’m feeling on the inside!”
“It’s a way to have control over my body because I can’t control anything else in my life.”
“I usually feel like I have a black hole in the pit of my stomach, at least if I feel pain it’s better than feeling nothing. ”
“I feel relieved and less anxious after I cut. The emotional pain slowly slips away into the physical pain.”
