Cutting one's self is a way of numbing the pain. In a sense they're bleeding their pain away.

But as I said in the OP. Pain reminds us we are alive. People who want to die, should not be trying to remind themselves that they are alive. Am I right?

By inflicting physical pain, a depressed person is blotting out their emotional pain.
