Feel Pain?

[Anonymous]

Do you religous cutters feel pain like you used to? Or have you built up an "immunity" to typical pain? I'm interested...

well i have always had a high tolerence to pain but after i had been cutting for about 2 years i tore a ligament in my thumb and my doc said i should be in horrible pain but i could barely feel it at all...so maybe its just me or maybe my cutting has given me a slight 'immunity' to it
which ever you will... :?

Yeah, i still feel pain when I do it, but its not as painful as it was when I started. I don't know why, I supposed its an immunity or I just got used to the feeling

I dunno cutting my arm dosn't hurt at all but I've had sum nasty stuff happen like breaking my arm, my leg, crushing my hand, being stabed in the eye with a pencile etc.. So it just plain ole dosn't hurt. The first time I was taken to the hospital for suicide watch the nurse wanted to see my arm to find out how many cuts I had made, my arm was completly covered and it had dried blood everywhere, so she took me to a sink and started to wash my arm up, she's like "does this hurt?", I take my other hand and slam down on my left one as hard as I can causeing the cuts to reopen and bleed and a lil bit of a bruise, I look at her, her jaws like droped to the floor and I'm like no dosn't hurt. I have to do sumthin really really nasty inorder to feel it....Or when I'm sick like I've got strept throat right now and it hurts a lil. But every situations diffrent, everybody percieves reality in a diffrent way, so.........Ya.

It's odd for me, when I cut, I only feel it when I look at it. I know it sounds like bullshit, But I was cutting once and I wasnt looking, I refused to watch me do it. It was deeper than I though and I didnt feel a thing until I looked at it. I should have gotten stitches for that one. Now I always watch, it's not really pain though, I feel it, but it doesn't hurt enough for me to stop. Thats a bit confusing, I'm sorry.
