I used to cut, too. I always cut meaningful things -- like words. My cuts were never random. I once read that people cut when they are afraid of lose (e.g., the lose of a loved one) I know for me that was most likely true. I stopped therapy about 3 - 4 years ago. My shrink said I had a flight to sanity. I haven't even considered cutting since then, in some ways I can't even remember what it felt like to want to cut. But if I try really hard to get back to that scary place, I really was afraid of lose... afraid my marriage was falling apart, afraid no one loved me, afraid my career was failing me. I felt like I was losing everything and I cut.
That time seems so dark and so scary. I'm glad that's behind me. I wish everyone a speedy flight to sanity:)
