Discussion Do you ever feel the need to do self harm?

There’s probably a factor of ppl seeing other ppl doing it at the same place and then following
not really it’s literally just the most common and accessible place like i said but anyway no i’ve cut everywhere on my entire body unforch
 
What’s the psychology behind that?
Addictive substances or behaviors are addictive because they are a tool for emotional regulation.
They give relief and the brain automatically think for this example (sh=relief) , dopamine reinforces this shortcut not for pleasure but for repetition .
Over time the natural coping skills weaken and feelings start to be unmanageable without the substance or behavior.
Brain shifts from thinking it’s a want to a need and in this position it makes everything even worse.
So once you start you can’t handle negative emotions without it anymore .
Hope it helps you , I want to be a neurologist so I have passion for this stuff

But why destroy your body like that?
Why can’t you go and punch the wall or release the stress/pain whatever on anything but your body?
 
my brain doesn’t work like this i just do it out of boredom most of the time
Your brain works like any other brain, if not , you have a serious mental problem because the chemistry of your brain is abnormal

I understand the dopamine cycle
My question is, what makes someone,specially girls to go for their own body? Why not go for something else?
Good luck on your journey
I’m trying to get into medschool myself

The body is always available , private and controllable .
It’s more about self control even if in reality it’s self destructive , girls often turn distress inward , the negative emotions taught to be contained and not expressed.
Your own body becomes the safest place to discharge your emotions without “causing troubles” to other people.
It creates an immediate sensation that overdrives the emotions and give a sense of control.
It converts the emotions which are thought to be contained into something physical, something that people help you with in your life , makes you feel validated when the emotional side feels forbidden in the society.
Unlike substances this doesn’t require money and can’t be taken away, it works instantly .
Punching a wall can be a problem when you don’t have complete privacy as it causes noise for example .
It’s feels like the most reliable regulator .
