I've been cutting for about 3 years. I cut with my fingernails though, not blades. But even still the wounds become deep and will bleed quite a bit sometimes. (Not a dangerous amount though.) I have an awful habit of picking apart wounds that are trying to heal and making them open and bleeding again.

Okay, WHAT I -REALLY- WANT TO KNOW:

I can't actually feel pain when I do this. I don't feel any pain from my skin being scratched, picked, or pinched at. I mean, sometimes my hands are covered in blood by time I'm finished, but even still, physically I didn't and don't feel a thing.


HOW is that possible? WHY can't I feel?
