Why do bipolars cut themselves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possible : Reasons. Someone who feels empty inside may cut to feel "something". Someone who is hurting emotionally may cut so that physical pain will distract them. Some cut to punish themselves. One may cut in the belief that they will let out negativity or evil. Regardless of why one cuts to cope it is unhealthy.
