The amount of stress I had built up inside me was crippling, I don't sleep at night due to car collision related nightmares, school is terrible, and whatever I do nothing ever seems right. Still the cutting was unjustifiable, I know. But it felt so good. Like an entire weight was lifted off my shoulders, I was happy after that and had a better attitude toward everything. Until I realized that I had to tell my boyfriend. He doesn't understand how it felt good, and how it relieved stress. To be honest neither do I. Does anyone know how this appears to relieve stress and feel physically pleasing?

Ill admit to that. It gives you a good clean high, which can be enough to make you feel less depressed. In addition, it gives you that whole "My pain is real" sensation, which helps with the stress. However, it can be dangerous. It is addicting. And its just not the greatest way to deal with stress.   I definitely know where your coming from, especially going long periods of time without it, then starting back up. Just last night I found myself pressing a razor into my arm. Even though I barely broke skin and didnt cut, it was just exhilarating. Thats been my worst breakdown in about 8 months, which is much less time then you went, so I can only imagine how it must have been for you. Just try to remember that its not an acceptable way to deal with the stress, and its going to work better to just talk to someone. If you have any questions or need someone to talk to, feel free to PM myself, or one of the SLs. Thanks :) I'm so relieved to know that I'm not alone in this Thatotherguy Posted at 6:00 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations Jokerboy719 Posted at 5:59 pm on Dec. 3, 2008 Post from this position was omitted due to content violations Most recent 15 of 37 previous replies displayed.
