"Describe what it's like to cut."
Well, go to the beach and walk into the water, blindfolded. You just keep walking, you don't know where you're going. You just know that you're going deeper. That's what the build up to cutting feels like. You don't know where you're going. Depression has blinded you. All you know is that you're going deeper. Now just keep going until you drown. You want air, you want relief. You don't want to be drowning anymore. Now imagine the relief when someone pulls you out of the water. That's what cutting is. Relief. Relief from all the pain you've been drowning in. Relief from not feeling good enough. Relief from all the bullies at school. Relief from feeling fat. Relief from all of your imperfections and insecurities. You might find cutting disgusting and you may never understand it. But when your drowning you need saving. You need relief. So what is cutting? Relief.
