for a second I thought that pic was you and I was worried ^^;;
I hate to take a fence sitting position but the options you all gave were plausible reasons (though I don't know about the sexual one, unless they are simply masochists or into S&M).
I think physical pain helps to relieve the emotional pain. (A) I think (B) can be tied to (A) because perhaps someone has gone through so many emotional problems that they've just started numbing themselves to everything around them.. So physical pain is perhaps a reminder that they're still here.
I also think there are few that do it for the attention - because if someone really wanted to suicide like they claim to do (not saying all wrist cutters do but there are those that claim it) they wouldn't do it by slitting their wrists, they'd do it by overdose on over the counter drugs, leave the car running in a closed garage, or jump off a building. Although you *can* die from slitting the wrists, if the cut is shallow it won't- its not a definite method, leaves room for backing out.
I have just met/seen/heard many little girls [middle school right now] who say they are depressed.. and I quote, "Man, I'm so depressed.. I cut myself last night... I have been thinking of suicide. OMG.PLEASE DON'T TELL ANYONE!!!!!!!111one111" [yelling it down the hall] MANY... all too many times and it , frankly, pisses me off. :l but w/e.
[and yes, i did mean S&M purposes. ... 6_6] Also, yes A+B can be tied.. I.E. : routine things, routine life. it feels a bit fake and lifeless. [?]
ahh!! XDDD I suppose you can tell I haven't visited it in awhile :scitters off:
btw, girl, did you ever have an idea for the complete outfit of this picture? http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/11814891/ I saw some of that checkered fabric at JoAnn's and it totally reminded me of that picture bc I've always loved it and the clothes!! I'd so totally make that top if you finished the design :) mehh.. only JoAnn's only has it in some stiffer cotton.. hmm.. wish I could find it in tshirt knit grr.. >.>
oh that! no.. i never did, but if you want, i can work on it xD yea.. it think it'd be awesome to see some of my stuff made... you are flattering me <3<3<3 -hugyou-
