Cutting
One of the more troubling symptoms of an emotional disorder is self-injury, specifically cutting. Cutting is an extremely dangerous cry for help that can, and often does, lead to unintentional suicide.
Cutting is often used as a coping mechanism. Someone suffering from an emotional disorder will often try to find relief any way they can. This can lead to cutting, which can provide a release of endorphins to the wound and a temporary relief from serious depression or anxiety. However the risks from cutting are extremely great, with many cutters accidentally bleeding to death or causing permanent harm to themselves.
Cutting is often a symptom of anxiety or depression and can occur when someone is confused about feelings of hopelessness or worry, and does not know how to properly and safely deal with these feelings. It is often a very serious cry for help.
It is important for someone who is cutting to seek immediate medical attention and help from a professional who can help the person work through their feelings and find a safe way to cope.
