it releases stress and frustration. and it's such a cliche but it helps to see the pain in the form of cuts or whatever. it makes things easier to deal with. also I think there is a level of addiction to it; because of the endorphins released to counteract the pain.

I've done it for as long as I remember, when I was little I used to bite myself when I got frustrated. I'm trying to stop, haven't done it for almost 4 months, because I'm sick of being covered in ugly scars.
