Slightly Confused

[JDizzle]

Okay so here is where im at, my life is great. My future is bright, my social life is great i am healthy and i am happy.

But recently i have started cutting my left thigh with a knife. I'm not sure why i do i have no reason to i just do it. It does not hurt or make me feel sad or cry, i just do it. I have no problems expressing my feelings and telling people whats on my mind. So why do i cut my leg, im not sure if i like it or if there is a reason which i just don't understand behind it.

I need views on why i might be doing this to myself. I don't need the attention, i get enough, i don't want people feeling sad for me, cause no one knows i do this to myself. But its confusing me, i just cut my thigh with no meaning to. i don't want to but i don't not want to.

Please give me some advice, im knew here and not sure who to turn to.
Thank you :)

Sometimes there isn't any reason, it just happens and you don't really know why. Does that make it okay? No. But, there could be an underlying reason as to why you feel the need to hurt yourself, but while you can, I suggest you try and stop. You said you have no problems talking about your problems, but maybe subconsciously you want to say something but can't. Human bodies and minds are complex things, you might never fully understand why you hurt yourself.

Yeah, i don't want it to become an addiction if i have one trait from my family its that we get easily addicted, but i haven't done it for long and they are not deep cuts just leave a mark and a small amount of blood.

I new a guy who was doing this and it was because everyone expected the best from him and he couldn't handle it. So I got him to hang out with me and my friends who are all hardcore gamers who listen to Disturbed and Korn and let anyone hang out with us.Hardcore gaming + Disturbed = Great stress release.He doesn't cut himself any more so I advise finding a group of people who accept you and finding an anger release. I go shooting because you pretend the targets someone you hate.

I listen to korn, but i am also very involved in martial arts, so i have no anger. 95% of the time im happy i mean im not even upset when i do this... that is why i don't understand :S

Well if that's the case, try and stop before it's too late because trust me, you'll regret it if you don't. You're at that starting stage where it isn't as serious as it could be, and so you'll be able to stop before you even get addicted. It's not worth it, man. Find something else that might replace self harm.

I know i will regret it, though half the time i don't even realize im doing it, im just chillin then all of a sudden i have the urge to hack away at my leg. makes no sense i know but i know it cant be good for me so i should stop just not sure who to go to for help.

Talk to someone/a friend that you trust, they'll be able to help you get out of the cycle. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, talk to someone at school you trust like a teacher or something, they'll be able to point you in the right direction.
