The sight of my blood calms me.

Something is soothing about seeing my blood seep out and pool around my wounds.
It helps me focus and calm down.
Sometimes when I'm sobbing my heart out, I take a razor and make a few slits. The beads of blood remind me of my mortality, the promise that I too will inevitably rest.

I didn't know where else to post this. I want to spill my feelings like I spill my blood and not be censored, not have my words diluted.

I feel some sorta relief as well, even just thinking about self harm.

There's a scientific reason towards this too, and that's because the body produces dopamine when you injure yourself like that so you feel better while it goes and does the healing. Pretty neat huh? Dopamine also has links to addiction so there's that too.
