I'll never understand self-harming

[Aeon]

What's the psychology of it? I can at least understand if someone has a masochistic fetish but people (mostly women) seem to do it due to depression/anxiety as far as I'm aware.

I know what it's like to feel like shit and to wake up not wanting to face the day (or life) ahead of you, but I've never once even thought of cutting myself, what's the thought process? What benefit could it possibly bring you?

on moments of great stress if you cut yourself or choke yourself out, your body releases noradrenaline and spikes your serotonin, so that you can focus on surviving, is a biological reflex that happens naturally and this usually eases the pain of being .

so when anxious or depressed do it its a way that mechanism gets hijacked. and becomes a self soothing behavior nonetheless your body usually get's that is not in danger, so they usually escalate so yeah

i used to do it when i was really young because i saw other people do it and thought great i could maybe get attention/help this way
didnt work
besides attention, could also be just to release anger, i also stabbed my arm like 2years ago because i felt a violent urge and my dumb ass didnt think of any better way
and now 4 years later i fully regret sh i just have marks on my body i hate them hopefully ill erase them in the future
