It can be seen as a control thing, as you know you can only push yourself further... if that makes sense. You play play mind games with yourself over how far you can take it, as you feel it's the only thing you can control. Anorexic's tend to do the same thing, but with the amount of weight they can lose in a week to how many calories they will intake on a daily basis.

It's a coping mechanism and pulls you in to a cycle. Your brain craves any kind of stimulation and the pain from self harm gives that as the brain is so un stimulated it will take any kind of energy as a relief from the nothingness. This is why it's encouraged to watch comedies, eat spicy foods and get exercise when depressed.

It's addictive for me, because it makes me feel good. There are some issues you may get after it, but it makes you feel better and I mean who doesn't want to feel better?

I guess that it makes the individual express oneself best by claiming that they hate themselves so that's why they harm themselves. It is a method for those who do it to "secretly cry for help" and say, without uttering a word, that they are depressed and need help

Self-harm releases soothing chemicals in the brain like a drug. Eventually, you crave the chemicals more and more and it seems to be a quick fix to feel better in the moment.

Self-Harm is in my opinion the minds way of taking the pain you feel inside and showing it on your body in an attempt to make sense of it. It is so addictive as for the first time in so long you feel something other than numbness and sadness.

Its because self harm allows the self harmer to escape from the painful reality of the world by getting ecstasy and numbing feeling. It is addictive as its later develop as a companion when the self harmer is suffering. They feel lonely and self harming is the only way they could feel human again.
