I feel weird

[Atlas_Kin]

I cut. I don't do it very often, but when I do, it doesn't hurt, it only helps me think clearly, is that normal?

[ksdnfkfr]

Normal is not the word I would use - but sadly it is probably typical.
As someone explained to me, cutting releases brain chemicals
called endorphins that make you feel relaxed - which I believe
include feeling clear headed. I never took note of that when i was
cutting - but looking back it seems like that was one of the attractions.
Now I go running now to get those effects and release frustration.

[Katiya]

Yeah, most feel about like that.

For me it just gave me a release for anger, whether that be at me or someone else or something else.

[thatgothgirluknow]

its not normal to cut at all and is very dangerous but yeah i think most people who cut can relate i know i can

[Captain Canada]

Ezra is right. Cutting is a form of relief to some people so yeah... For someone who self harms its a normal feeling. Please don't continue... Its a really hard habit to break

[lifelies]

Cutting is a coping mechanism, so yes that's what you're supposed to feel when cutting.
As it's been said be careful because, as any other coping method, once you get too much used to it, it's hard to cope if you can't cut.

[chieko]

I think it's weird because I've never done it before

[King_of_Hearts]

Yes. It is completely normal to feel like that. Cutting is different for everyone but it is typically used to release anger and sadness. Any upsetting feelings. But I agree... please don't continue cutting... it is damaging for one... and it is very highly addicting...
