First off, I'm a guy. Yet, females are my closest friends. I've had one in my life who sounds identical to you. I know so little, but she helped me understand that, by cutting, she is able to resolve internal pain (by physically hurting, she claims it helps with the mental anguish).
One thing I can assure you of: It IS like an addiction. It's your way of coping with something tucked way deep inside, such as trauma, sexual abuse. So, you are NOT just doing it for fun. It is self-expression at its most destructive. There's a reason, and it is likely deep rooted and is causing you pain (though you may not know that it is the cause), and your only way of coping is the cutting. I hate it when people simply state, "seek professional help," but sweetheart, you probably need to. Many blessings to you.....
I cut myself for no reason
