1st post - Today's just been one of those days, I'm a borderline type (bpd) but honestly nothing in particular seems to have set me off (I'm a little down and maybe it's partly from holding off until I had a chance to be alone) - anyway I'm probably at about 20+ cuts so far today, no swimming in my near future I suppose. Do other people have days like this, when you aren't really sure why you're doing it/ just kind of drifting away and cutting?

There are many self-injurers who cut without having an apparent reason/trigger at the time. It can get to be a habitual way of coping. I've heard self-injurers say they've cut when they're happy. Doesn't mean their self-injury is done for frivolous reasons but that that is their general way of coping with life or there is something they are gaining out of from self-injury apart from relieving negative emotions. There are so many reasons for self-injuring and not all tie in with depression or dissociation every single time.

I often cut when Im happy. I never burn when im happy, just when im sad, but that may change. and often i have no idea why and it makes me feel guilty that this is so supposedly unbearable moment is making my hurt myself with no apparent reason.
