I've done it for 6 years now so the reasons have been different at different points. Sometimes I use it to punish myself for things that have happened in my past, sometimes to stop myself overdosing or doing worse things, sometimes to let out the tension or overwhelming emotions I'm feeling, sometimes I can't quite work it out - I just have to do it.

It's really not something I advise doing, because you are right, it can be addictive and it damages you in so many ways. It isn't worth it.



You have to have the negative things in life
to be able to appreciate the positives.
