When people self harm, how do they do it? Scissors, knife? I just don't understand. And why? I literally do not understand. I have no opinion about it because I don't understand. Any advice appreciated.

Hi,

I used to cut myself years ago with a knife. I didn't do it frequently, but when I was extremely depressed I would on occasion. The reason is that most (I believe) people cut themselves to take away from mental pain they currently may be feeling. When you cut, you see the blood and you physically feel the pain of the cut. The physical pain you feel then temporarily takes some of the mental pain away. its an outlet in a sense. I haven't done it in 20 years, and never will again.....
