First off, I'll just mention that I've
been cutting for almost 7 years {on and
off} now, it started when my parent split
up and then used me and my brother {and
custody thereof} as "leverage" in a messy
divorce. I've seen alot of posts about
people that cut due to stress' in life or
pressure they feel but I was just sorta
wondering if anyone, other than me, does
it for the sense of euphoria and control
over my own body that I get from it, I'm
fairly sure I've got over any sense of
blame for their divorce {They are both
lovely people, just not to each other} I
apologize if this is just me but I feel
like I need to know.

You describe classic cutting behavior and
reasons for cutting. Many people cut for
control over some part of their life. The
euphoria that accompanies the cutting
reinforces the behavior.
Have you talked to anyone about your
cutting? Therapy has been successful for
some people. Self injury can lead to many
other problems. You should seek some
professional help for this. Dealing with
the emotional aspect of the issue may help
you stop cutting.
