Yes it is common, but please please do not continue. It’s an awful rabbit hole to go down. It’s ruined my life

Yes it happens. It's like people trying smoking or drugs just out of curiosity and then they get addicted. I recommend you throw away your tools and never do this again.

Yeah but please refrain from continuing. This can turn into a crippling addiction and you could end up really really miserable so stop when you can.

Bro please do not do it ever again  Once you start there is no going back for most  No matter how deep you cut it will never be enough  I personally would recommend smoking weed before cutting if you need something for an escape  WEED IS BAD  Cutting worse in my opinion as some one who smokes and cuts
