Is it normal to want to mutilate my face?

Sometimes I get a burning desire to just take a knife and hack up my face, gouge out an eye, carve an ear to ear smile, etc. When I want to do it... I get this twisted feeling that it would make me beautiful.

    Ehh... Are you alright? I think you should probably entirely ignore these feelings or seek help immediately.

    It's quite possible you would immediately regret that.

    I do not think it would be beautiful at all. but I do understand the cutting, although I never cut myself for real, but sometimes I imagine my face cut with blood flowing:it is a cathartic fantasy to let out some repressed feelings in a stressing situation; releasing what is inside the face or body is like letting go of control in the way we present ourselves. At least this is how I interpret it. It's like when Lizzie McGuire imagines a cartoon version of herself being smashed by a hammer when she embarrasses herself. If it is scaring you, or if you feel it is clogging your thought process instead of helping, and if you really believe it would be beautiful to mutilate yourself in real life, then seek help.

    I have wanted to cut off a finger before, but these urges are certainly not normal and probably caused by how fucked up one has to be to be part of modernity.

    I get the exact same feeling quite often. I want to slice my hole face up, and watch the blood flow down. i want the scars too, just to make myself beautiful like you said.

    Go join the Vegetarian Festival in Thailand. You can honor the religion by sticking knives in your cheeks.

    Just get a bunch of piercings and gauges. That's what I do.

    Much more attractive than self mutilation.

    I know what you mean though...I have felt this feeling before. I still voted it as not being normal, because i don't think it is. Sometimes I feel like cutting off my hand...

    I used to cut my cheek, because I thought it looked cool.
