Welcome to VT. :)
You've just described what nearly every person feels when they start to cut.
How long have you been cutting for? If you haven't been cutting for long, try and stop now.
Like you said, its a drug. Self Harm can be very addictive.
If you want to talk, you can PM or VM me. :)

I've cut since I was 12, and I'm 18 now, and I've really never tried to stop, like Connor said, it's a drug. I don't like doing it though, I don't like pain, at all. I hate it, and I hate the scars, I hate scars on anyone. I saw a girl, both of her arms were covered, but she didn't try and hide it, why hide what's the truth? Right. I wanted to just go and hug her, and tell her life will get better. But, I'd be a hypocrite. Just always keep in mind, no matter how stressful your life seems, no matter how hateful you think everyone is, there's someone out there that gives a damn about you, who wants you breathing.

I've self harmed for a lot of different reasons, even when i thought it was just because i wanted to do it, there was a reason that made me want to.

I do understand exactly where you come from, its all very familiar to me. You will have to decide if the feeling you get from self harm are worth the scars that will stay with you forever.

I'm not depressed, I'm not unhappy. I may have some problems, but generally, my life is good. My 'friends' are fine, my family is fine, school is..averagely boring. I have nothing to really call stressful in my life. But I do cut. I don't do it to fit in, to try it,and I didn't start to just see what it's like, I cut because I love the burning feeling afterward I love the way the cut looks on my skin, I love the way it feels. I don't like pain. In general. I can handle it. But I don't like it. I'm not a masochist, I don't think. Or I wouldn't call myself one. It's a special kind of pain, it makes everything seem so much calmer, it's like my drug.

you sound really like me some time ago. i did cut myself and i tried to look on my life in an objective way, and everything was blooming and perfect. but deep inside you know that you suffer, even if the reason is not on the surface but underneath it. try to find the source of the problem, and if you want anything feel free to p.m. me, maybe i could help (or just hear you out and give you a virtual hand XD)

sometimes people do things without much of a reason, everything seems fine, but sometimes you just need that little extra to make things that bit better.
truth is, it's making nothing better,
you're gonna hate those cuts in a few years,
and that burn? is called an adrenaline rush.
it really is a strange soothing pain, but it just causes more aching in the long run,
quit while you're ahead, may seem like it's harmless and you like it now,
but one day you're gonna wake up and realise it's not that pretty.
