Why does my girlfriend cut herself?

She may be trying to make her internal pain visible. Mental illness is a very hard pain to manage and when we can see the pain it makes it more real for us.

Sometimes people self-harm to get a release from mental pain. Since I don't know your situation I cannot say what makes her harm herself because there could be many reasons

She may feel numb or confused of what she's feeling and by cutting herself she can focus on that pain or that she thinks that physical pain is better than emotinal pain

That question has a lot of answers. Consider asking her why she does that. Maybe then, you will get a clear understanding.

Maybe because she is going through something really rough.Please try to take her to a psychologist or a psychiatrist.Try to give her all the love and care that she needs.Take care of yourself and your girlfriend.Hope she feels well really soon.

There are many different reasons why someone would hurt themselves. These reasons are very individual and need to be figured out by someone professional as it can quickly become like an addiction and very harmful. It could be a cry for attention or just a physical vent to release pressure. There are many tips on how to resist the urge to do self harm, like meditation or behavioural therapy but in these cases it will always be the best to nudge her to seek professional help.

The reason as to why your girlfriend cuts herself could stem from many different things that either have happened in the past, things that are happening now..or even things that could potentially happen in the future. One thing I can say for definite is that she is not cutting to try and hurt your feelings or your relationship with her at all. Although it may appear as though she is doing it as a result of something that may have been done or said within your relationship, that is often not the case. Is she aware that you know she cuts? If so, maybe ask her as to how it helps her, as opposed to why she does it. This may be an easier way of discovering why she does it. If she does not know you know of it, then perhaps just try to talk to her about things going on in her life to see if you could help limit the negative factors in her life, as these may play a part in her cutting.

There can be many reasons why. A lot of the time people use it as a coping method to deal with stress in life or if they are depressed. Again many reasons and explanations. But sometimes there isn't

There isn't really one reason in particular as to why someone would cut them self. Some do it to stop some emotional pain/trauma. Others do it to let out stress. I hope this helps!

When someone cuts themselves they are dealing with some emotional pain and try to find some relief, or maybe they want to physically feel the pain.
