Sometimes the mental anguish is too much to bear so I cut to feel physical pain to take me away from the mental pain.
Sometimes I feel so numb that I cut because I want to know if I can still feel.
Sometimes I cut because o feel as if I have some control back
Self harm though does not just come in the form of cutting.
And the attention seeking/fad options are patronising and insensitive

@InOtterWords I would agree with you, but I know people from group who started cutting because "everyone was doing it." After that it became a "release" of sorts.
