Because they typically have issues about self-hatred or they have problems with a painful emotional life. Usually they are girls, and often they have problems at home or at school. When they can't "feel" emotional pain, they often try to "feel" the physical pain. The reasons are complex, but that's a simple answer.

Real, real, real.  Emotional pain is real.\n\nIt's called betrayal in the highest degree.  When someone entrusted with your protection fails to protect you from himself--especially when that person is supposed to represent God--it leaves a deep emotional and spiritual wound.\n\nIn some cases, physical pain may have been inflicted, too, especially if there was penetration.\n\nI'm not a boy and no one abused me in the name of God, but I did tally up a few "minor" incidents of sexual abuse between 9-14.  I feel some pain over those incidents.  Imagine what it must be like to be majorly betrayed by a "father" figure such as a priest?

I'm sorry for your loss. :&#92;\n\nI think that you should get it checked out by a doctor, and it makes sense that your mental anguish could be the cause of physical pain. \n\nGood luck. :]

Physically it is the same motions and actions but emotionally they are two different things.  So it depends on how philosophical of an answer you are looking for.

Physically or emotionally? Physically- follow all your doctor's orders and TAKE THOSE ANTIBIOTICS! Emotionally-sometimes therapy can help. Your abortion clinc will probably be able to refer you to someone or maybe even have an in-house therapist. Even if you feel fine a few therapy sessions of just clearing your head can be very emotionally helpful and freeing so you can move on without guilt or remorse.

Sit down somewhere.  Breathe in; breathe out.  Pay attention to whatever comes up for you.  Then switch back to paying attention to the in and out of your breath.  Which is more "real", your breath or the "pain" that is there?  Is the "pain" YOU?  Or is it just a perception of pain?

Some people find that dealing with physical pain is easier than dealing with emotional pain.\n\nMost people who self-injure tend to be perfectionists, are unable to handle intense feelings, are unable to express their emotions verbally, have dislike for themselves and their bodies, and can experience severe mood swings.\n\nSelf-injury can help someone relieve intense feelings such as anger, sadness, loneliness, shame, guilt and emotional pain. Many people who cut themselves, do this in an attempt to try and release all the emotions they are feeling internally. Others may feel so numb, that seeing their own blood when they cut themselves, helps them to feel alive because they usually feel so dead inside. \n\n\nIf you feel the urge to injure yourself, below is a list of suggestions that might help you to overcome that urge.  Please be advised that not all of these suggestions will be helpful to everyone.  What is helpful to one person, may not be helpful to someone else.  These suggestions have been provided by individuals who self injured and what they found helpful to them.  If you feel that a certain suggestion may in fact cause you to want to self injure even more, do NOT use that suggestion.  Find ones that are helpful for you.  Again, these are only suggestions and may not be helpful to everyone. \n\n\n1.deep breathing \n\n2.relaxation techniques \n\n3.call a friend, your therapist or a crisis line \ntry not be be alone (visit a friend, go shopping, etc.) \n\n4.take a hot bath \n\n5.listen to music\n \n6.go for a walk \n\n7.write in a journal\n \n8.wear an elastic around wrist and snap it when you have the urge to harm yourself \n\n9.some people find it helpful to draw red lines on themselves with washable markers instead of cutting themselves \n\n10.hold ice cubes in your hands - the cold causes pain in your hands, but it is not dangerous or harmful (some people find it relieves the urge to harm themselves for that moment)\n \n11.punching a bed or a pillow (when nothing but a physical outlet for your anger and frustration will work). \n\n12.scratch draw a picture on a thick piece of wood or use a screw driver and stab at the piece of wood. (can be another physical way to release your emotions without harming yourself.)\n \n13.avoid temptation (i.e. avoiding the area in CVS where the razor blades are kept, etc.) \n\n14.try to find your own creative ways as outlets for emotions. \n\n15.learn to confront others/making your own feelings known instead of keeping them inside \ngo outside and scream and yell \n\n16.take up a sport (a form of exercise can help you release tension, etc.)\n \n17.work with paint, clay, play-doo, etc. (the person who suggested this mentioned that they would make a big sculpture and do whatever they wanted to it.  They said it was helpful to calm the urge to self-injure, plus it gave them some idea of what might be underlying the pain. \n\n18.draw a picture of what or who is making you angry \ninstead of harming yourself, try massaging the area you want to harm with massage oils or creams, reminding yourself that you are special and you deserve to treat yourself and your body with love and respect \n\n19.go to church or your place of worship \nwear a pipe cleaner or something that will fit on the places that you injure.  One person did this as a way to remind herself that she could call someone instead of hurting herself and that she had other ways to cope. \n\n20.break the object that you use to self-injure as a way to show that you have control over it.\n \n21.write a letter to the person(s) that have hurt you and express how they made you feel.   Theses letters do not have to be in perfect form and you do not have to please anyone but yourself.  You do not have to give these letters to the people, but it is a great way to release the feelings that you are carrying within.  After you write the letters, you can decide then what to do with them.  Some people find destroying the letters help (i.e. tear

It is the most intense pain you could possibly imagine.  Think of the worst pain you've ever had, and take it the 100th power.  It hurts so much you can't feel anything else--you can't tell if you feel pressure, or stinging, all you feel is the pain.  When you go to the physical therapist and they ask you to rate you pain on a scale of 1 to 10, a broken bone is an eleven.  I pray that you never have to experience it.

Indifference is worse than hate.  When you hate someone, there is still a surge of emotions but it's just swinging towards the other end of the spectrum (the other end being love).  When you're indifferent, you psychologically kill the person because you couldn't care less what that person does to you.  This is why being given the cold shoulder hurts so much because the other person doesn't acknowledge your presence.
