has anyone self-harmed when they were excited/happy?

[kurikaesu]

the last time i cut myself was at the end of January, and i haven't done so since then until today. During this month-ish period i've felt the urge to cut when i feel excited about future events or maybe really happy about something i just watched or heard, etc.

does anyone else experience these urges? is it normal to want to cut when i'm excited?

Mmm I have self-harmed for many different reasons. Normal? I don't know, though most would probably say not. But still what happened to me. So still no reason to invalidate my reasons.

not sure if it's normal but i've had that since i started around 12 (almost 21 now), i used to do it as a performance for my friends then it developed into my own ritual, i would feel euphoric doing it and i liked the way it hurt. my unprofessional guess is that it might have something to do with the way the brain starts associating it with being happy

i dont think its too strange tbh. i often cut at my happiest, when i have that slight adrenaline rush especially. thoughts about cutting myself are actually most rampant when im happy.
