I don’t really understand why people do it. Not like “they’re doing it because they are depressed and feel bad”, I had depression myself but never had a call to injure myself. I hate pain, and doing something painful to myself while I’m already feeling bad doesn’t really sound appealing. So I don’t quite get what self-harm gives people so they keep doing it.

Like, is it a way to “ground” yourself and stop dissociating, or is it “just to feel anything at all”, or as a “punishment”, or something else?

    There are plenty of subjects inappropriate for this sub.

    I’m sure I don’t need to enumerate them for you.

    I think a discussion around whether this type of question is appropriate is entirely healthy, as there may be ramifications which are not immediately clear.
