Self- Cutting

my son actually did this. He has stopped. he actually did it when he was off the meds before we put him back on for his bipolar. there were many reasons that he told me that he was doing it. thank god he has stopped and now feels better about himself.

I have never done it myself but for some people the reason they do it is because they need a way to vent their frusteration and life problems. And moving the pains of life into a more physical form is better for them. It almost becomes a obsession. Sort of like a eating disorder. Their brain thinks that everytime they come up with a pain in their life they have to cut themselves to fix it. Its a very bad habit that can be very dangerous.
