As someone who's a (recovering) cutter, I can tell you that cutting is usually a sign of self loathing. But I've known plenty of girls who do it for attention and aren't addicted.

For me it was what I used to use to self medicate for my anxiety disorder. It would sound strange to those who haven't been there. But there is an endorphin rush that actually helps relieve the feeling of anxiousness. Fortunately I have turned to healthier options to manage this issue. But I am not without scars.

Sadly the healthier options never do as good a job. As a former cutter I know.

Keep it going! I'm struggling with a different but socially acceptable addition and it's SO hard. You're doing way better than me!
