One answer to this question could be a person with a complex post-traumatic stress disorder, formerly known as Borderline Personality. Cutting themselves, usually in a non-life-threatening way, relieves tension and helps them feel emotion.

Recent thoughts are that the disorder stems from a dysfunction in attachment. Emotions are often one extreme to the other and treatments can include Dialectical Behaviour Therapy or Emotional Regulation therapy. Medication can help specific symptoms such as if the person is also depressed.

A person who is obsessed with cutting themselves is typically referred to as having self-harming behavior or engaging in self-harm. This behavior is often associated with underlying emotional distress or mental health issues that need to be addressed through therapy or counseling. It is important for individuals struggling with self-harm to seek help from a mental health professional for support and treatment.
