I cut as well, although I can't really help you stop as I myself don't plan on it. It's my body and I don't really care if people judge me for what I do with it. I've done it since I was 13. It used to be something I did as a meltdown started to die down, to try and slow my thoughts by concentrating on the pain, as well as to remind myself that I was alive. Now I do it because it's a habit, I like the pain because it makes me feel alive (as I said already), and I sign my paintings in blood as well. Good luck quitting though. I hope you find a way to do so.
Feeling alive is good and while I have the utmost respect for anyone with a grasp of personal sovreignty, I believe I should point out that we're discussing the body in the context of our species. We're known to have high pain thresholds out here on our spectrum, I'd just like to see everyone here live long enough to perhaps meet all of you in reality. Case in point, this is why I've been meaning to give accupuncture a try.
