I never really sat down and thought about why I cut. But now that I think back on every time I did cut, it was either because I felt like I needed punishment (that's when I'd use a dull knife and cut over and over until it hurt) or when I had too many things on my mind/ too many emotions I was feeling and I just needed to get them out somehow, or forget them somehow. When I bleed I feel like all the shit I feel leaves with the blood, at least for a while.
