Regarding Self-Injury....

Question

Has anyone had the experience of wanting to cut off the tip of a finger, and done it? Did it hurt?

Answer 1

Not the tip, mostly because it would hurt worse than my legs and arms do.  

Answer 2

"Cutting" is a symptom of a serious feeling of unworthiness and helplessness. PLEASE, get help...you need to talk to a professional.

I accidentally cut off the tip of my thumb on a paper cutter and I thought I was going to die. So very painful!

Answer 3

Cutting isn't always because of worthlessness or hopelessness, sheesh.

It can be a symptom of anxiety, which may or may not have those feelings, and it can be a symptom of other mental illnesses.

Answer 4

I know somebody who got the tip of their finger ripped off by a door and it certainly looked very painful.
