cutting is an attempt to release otherwise un-expressible formless rage. one could think of it as a partial suicide.

the cutting is not so much an attempt to hurt the self as it is an attempt to excise the psychological demons within. these are the demons that torment the mind into a depression where there is no feeling of self. yet there remains a longing for a return to a forgotten wholeness.

the pain of the cut sometimes releases endorphins giving some sense of relief temporarily.
