There are a number of reasons why a person might cut herself. Many people self-harm because they are feeling a great emotional pain. For some, physical pain helps to numb this emotional pain or distract from it. Others harm themselves to leave a physical reminder of the emotional pain. Sometimes people feel emotionally "numb" and harm themselves in order to feel something, even if it is physical pain. There are also many people who self-harm for reasons not connected to emotional pain. Some enjoy the pain or the way cuts look, while others might do it to feel control over their bodies. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of people who cut themselves for attention. There are many reasons other than that, but those are some of the main ones. It's difficult to understand why someone might want to physically harm themselves, and it's important for you to talk to your girlfriend about what she is feeling and if she needs to seek professional help.

She might be trying to express her feelings or deal with her distress. Talk to her and give her all the support she needs. Offer to také her to a therapist or recommend some online.

There are many different reasons that people self harm. One of the most common reasons people self-harm is as a way to deal with difficult emotions and feelings that they are unable to express in any other way. Other reasons people self harm include - to feel something when they are feeling emotionally numb, to transfer their emotional pain to physical pain which is often easier to deal with or to help them to feel in control of something.

Some people use self harm as a distraction coping method. The pain actually releases hormones that make you feel better temporarily. Others may use it as a way to punish themselves when they are angry or upset with themselves.

I don't know exactly why, as i'm not her, but cutters tend to soak up the emotions of others, and project onto themselves.
