Replies Wolf Posted at 8:36 pm on Jan. 11, 2009 There is also a chemical addiction factor.  Your body releases an unnatural amount of endorphins to help with the pain.  If you do it so much, you can be chemically addicted to it. See Me Now Posted at 8:34 pm on Jan. 11, 2009 Honestly, I can't tell you. It's something you have to experience to understand... the amount of anger and hatred you feel toward yourself to a point where the only thing to remedy it is to physically cut your skin open over and over... and after that first time- it's got a hold on you.

It takes away the emotional pain and it does work. People get addicted to it because they begin to depend on it. danndivision Posted at 8:33 pm on Jan. 11, 2009 when your emo levels are too high you have to cut yourself Joke Posted at 8:33 pm on Jan. 11, 2009 not sure, but maybe they like the red water? <----- J U S T Posted at 8:33 pm on Jan. 11, 2009 You get attention for doing it, duh. jkjk11 Posted at 8:32 pm on Jan. 11, 2009 the pain can distract one's mind from other, more pressing problems All 11 previous replies displayed.
