I know you mean well, but would you ask an alcoholic just to talk about how they feel while they are killing themselves? I have read more about self harm since I posted this and discovered that the reason they treat self harm like cutting as an addiction is because you become addicted to the endorphins (natural drugs) that your brain makes when you get injured.
So people who self harm are drug addicts, just addicted to the drugs their own body makes. Sadly, this also means that like other drug addicts, they won't get help until they are almost dead, or you force them into rehab. I printed everything out and gave it to her parents and they are getting her help finally.
I hope that this makes sense to you and that you will better understand why you are addicted to cutting. People who drink themselves blind are self harming, drug addicts are self harming... all because of the same emotional problems. My friend and you just have a different drug you chose to help you cope with things. I think everyone does this in some way or another. I get into bad relationships over and over again because I don't feel worthy or good enough and that is how I self harm. I am getting help for that now, after reading what you wrote and looking things up you helped me to understand that just like you cut, I hurt myself in another way. I hope you talk with someone about why you hurt yourself. talking with friends doesn't work!
