i think you can...sometimes i don't really have a reason other than i just feel like it (which sounds so wierd and wrong) but that's how it is for me...but then other times i really feel like i have to because something is going wrong. i know what you mean tho...none of it makes sense really
yeh you can cut for no reason, there doesnt necesarliy have to be a reason like stress etc, but it probably means that theres an addiction which makes you cut, like smoking or something, because of the endorphins realeased when you cut you get a kind of 'high' which makes you want to do it again and again.
im the same....there isnt always a reason why i cut..
pm me if you want to talk about it
take care
hide yourself... lyrics can mean nothing or everything, it's up to you
I don't think anybody would hurt themselves for no reason at all. It's against all our insticts. Cutters use it as a coping mechanism as a way of making life more tolerable. It preserves life. We wouldn't go against all out bodliy insticts for no good reason.
I think there is a reason you cut yourself, even if you don't know what it is yet.
I understand these people saying 'not always'. No, I'm struggling at the moment with urges for no reason at all, when I have every reason not to cut. But I know why I started, and by now it's just an addiction. A habit i'm trying to get out of. But we don't start to cut for no reason.
Subconsiously, I think there has to be a reason.
You're not alone though. I'll cut for no aparent reason. Even when I have a great day, I'll still end up cutting because I can. Wow, that sounds soo messed up!
Try to identify what you are feeling deep down. Or what happened during the day to see if something may have triggered it, that maybe your consiouse mind didn't take note of.
Please be careful<3

for me sometimes i 'think' i cut for no reason yeah i can understand that, but as DarkElvenPrincess said, there probably is a reason behind why youre doing it, you just dont know what.
sometimes i cut out of habit, or cuz i get that 'feeling that i need to' which is stupid. but yeah. (i dont know why this is underlined, i cant get rid of it :p)

It's easier.
It's not uncommon to not realise somethings bothering you, I'd imagine. I find this to be true of myself - unconscious anxiety, stress, anger, sadness. Often other pain is covering it up...like a distraction so I won't have to face what's really bothering me.
Addiction can also be a factor, like other's have said.
I relate to not having a reason and just feeling like it. Reminds me of bordom eating, in a weird sort of way.
This is a gift, it comes with a price
Who is the lamb and who is the knife
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to gold in the sunlight
And in the spring I shed my skin
And it blows away with the changing wind
The waters turn from blue to red
As towards the sky I offer it
ONce when I wrang the crisis team when I hit a vein they asked me if I cut because I was bored....how insulting! I might not always know why I cut, but because of boredom? Gah there's always some reason, even if you can't recognise it.
Whether you feel as if you have a 'reason' to cut or not, the truth of the matter is that you still feel the need to hurt yourself and that in itself is a problem, and is hardly healthy.
There could be underlying issues, you could be dismissing any 'reasons' you may have and discarding them as 'reasons', or it could be something completely different, but you're still feeling the need to hurt yourself and go against general human instinct.
Usually I have a reason but there are times when I just get bored or I just want to for the hell of it, and then I do... But more recently I've had reasons... :] You're not alone, sweetie. <3
I totally know how that is...like I also get triggered over literally nothing. Today I was sitting in chemistry and all of a sudden I was like "hmmm...I really wanna cut right now"....seriously no reason. I think mostly there are underlying reasons for cutting in general...but individual acts could be for no reason.
Sometimes I have reasons, like stress/anxiety/self loathing ect ect
But a lot of the time, it's like...not boredom.
I'll just be sitting there, usually feeling kind of numb/bored...and
I just get this feeling that the emptiness in my head is unbearable
and the thought is just there.
I don't know, it just pop's into my head, SI.
It's so weird, It just appears there.
And the thought of SI'ing satisfies me, so I go and do it.
Urgh, I hate myself sometimes because I feel like I'm just doing it for the sake of it, it's like, I'm doing it just for the drama of it or somthing....
I dunno...

i actually think i cut more when i am bored i might just be odd tho but when I'm sitting about with nothing to do i start to think about stuff and then i get sad and then i cut but it's not the main reason i cut thats all complicated and yucky
It's okay to cut for no reason. Sometimes I cut out of boredom to. It doesn't really matter why you cut, because sometimes I cut because I'm depressed, anxious, or just for no reason at all

i can cut for no reason. it sounds stupid but sometimes when my si is really bad i get into a sort of pattern and even when i dont really feel that bad i cut anyway..although i hvant done that for a while now.
Sometimes, if I haven't done it for awhile, I'll think, "Wow, I haven't cut myself for three months." and all it takes is that realization for me to run out and get something sharp. Not because of anything in particular, just because it seems like I've gone 'too long' without doing it.
I dunno. I think it happens because I've been cutting for so long that when I haven't done it for a long time, I feel like part of my identity is slipping away. Like, I'm a cutter, so I should be cutting.
