Cutting isn't about attention, it's about releasing pain in a controlled manner. I always thought it was a strange thing until this past summer when I started fantasizing about doing it myself. I was in so much pain emotionally...depressed, filled with anxiety, etc., and I really gained a lot of understanding about the appeal. I never did it--I started going to IC and got back on ADs--but I really, really wanted to.
Cutting is serious stuff. If your wife is/was doing it, it's about pain, pure and simple...
