Who knows that you cut?
Is it a addiction to you?

I'm closing this survey in 24 hours and gather the information and process it into my research.

I am editing this survey so that it is more appropriate for these forums. Do not re-add the questions I'm omitting.

[gipsy danger]

I see you don't understand how important my research? what I'm doing can change the world!

[StoppingTime]

Unfortunately, I'm not partial to your research.
Asking members triggering questions will not be tolerated, it's that simple.
PM me if you have any further concern.

[Mortal Coil]

Why do you cut? Because of my depression, dissociation and anxiety.
Who knows that you cut? My internet friends, two or three people in school, my therapist and my parents know I used to.
Is it a addiction to you? Yes.

[project_icarus]

Why do you cut? For relief and control, I guess. That can be hard to answer.
Who knows that you cut? Two of my cousins, my immediate family, people on VT.
Is it a addiction to you? Not necessarily just cutting; Rather SH in general.

Why do you cut?
I cut because I'm in love with someone but they do not feel the same for me. It just gives me a sense of relief.
Who knows that you cut?
I think I've told one girl at school and a lot of people on VT
Is it a addiction to you?
Not nearly as bad as my drug addiction. Considering I propably cut about every week I would say its not really an addiction.

Why do you cut?
I cut because it feels good. I don't know if this is the sort of answer intended for this survey, but it seems like it might fit. I'm a masochist, both sexual and non-sexual, and the feeling of pain is really nice. I never do it deep enough to leave marks.
Who knows that you cut?
Nobody.
Is it an addiction?
No, I wouldn't say so. I can get pleasure from other things, and I don't do it that often. I don't consider it a "problem" for me, but everyone else in the world seems to, so I guess that's too bad for them.

[LoveMe_HateMe]

Why?
Self hatred, loneliness, shame, boredom, anger, sadness, stress, feeling unworthy... basically to 'match' and forget about the pain inside my head - as cliche as that sounds.

Who.
Girlfriend, parents know i used to, ex, old friends I don't even talk to, and people on here. In my opinion too many people know that I do/used to.

Addiction?
Yes. No question about it. I struggle daily with it.

[xDarkAngelx]

Why do you cut? For many different reasons such as self hate so as to punish myself, my depression and mainly because it gives me that relief.
Who knows that you cut? Only 1 person whome I regret telling and it's basically as though they don't know now.
Is it a addiction to you? Yes, think about it daily.

[Bath]

Why do you cut?
Panic/hatred/negative emotion builds up inside and it's almost instinctual to just hurt myself because I don't know what else to do. It's comforting, it lets me know I'm still a person, a human being. That I'm not numb to everything.

Who knows that you cut?
Nobody. People know that I have self harmed. But nobody now. Except you guys, I guess.

Is it a addiction to you?
Seems like it.

[Noirtier]

Why do you cut? To relieve stress, punish myself, and it seems like the one thing that makes me feel in control and, frankly, feeling.
Who knows that you cut? Everyone on VT, and a couple people in real life. Not very many though.
Is it a addiction to you? It certainly appears to be that way...

[xXl0sth0peXx]

Why do you cut? - Release, to feel something, punishment, hatred, yeah. pretty much the same as everyone else.

Who knows that you cut? - My best friend, the people I was hospitalized with for a shoulder rehab, VT, and one or two other people.

Is it a addiction to you? - Yes. No doubt. Doesn't start as one, but quickly becomes one.

[Megson]

Why do you cut?

To cope with stress or emotional distress. I cut myself as punishment for being ugly/stupid/fat/awkward/annoying as well, sometimes.

Who knows that you cut?

No one besides the people on VT. One friend knows that I "used to cut."

Is it a addiction to you?

I don't know. Maybe, because it seems to be my go-to response to ease emotional pain and stress. But if I'm having a good day, cutting rarely crosses my mind.

[Mynick]

Why do you cut? - To relieve stress, to dont think in my problems, it really helps.
Who knows that you cut? A couple people on VT, and my best friend irl.
Is it a addiction to you? Kind of, right now its the only thing that helps me when i'm sad or stressed.
