I have cut myself when I was so dissociated that I didn't feel conscious, didn't feel like I was in my body. it was so horrible, and I thought, kind of that maybe if I make myself feel pain I can stay in my "here-and-now".that's what the pain does.
plus it releases endorphins and can become addictive to some folks.
