A member asked:
Why can cutting yourself help with feeling bad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It doesn't: People who cut themselves to deal with emotional pain are diverting their pain to a physical one. Cutting oneself doesn't help with resolving or adapting to stress/pain. Such individuals need to be seen by a psychiatrist right away before this type of coping escalates.
