I started cutting.

4 days ago I cut myself deliberately for the first time. Afterwards I lied down and couldn't help to smile. It was surprisingly relieving and I've done it every day since but it's starting to look quite nasty now. Does anyone else cut?

Yeah but if you tell people you're bleeding yourself to cure your melancholy, they look at you as more of a wackjob than if you just say "I'm emo!".
