Cutting, Abuse, Tears, Sex, Gurls, Alone, Dreaming, Hiding, Wanting to die, Babies I'll never have, Always losing, and This is my life. Self-Mutilation Syndrome (SMS): A psychological condition which has apparently begun to grow among American youth. Sufferers of SMS, also known as cutters, feel the need to cut into their flesh and watch themselves bleed. Some sufferers of SMS also drink the blood drawn out this way, although this is not standard for the disorder. Most sufferers of SMS are redirecting feelings of anger, frustration, inadequacy, or emotional pain onto their bodies. Some eventually get involved in body art and blood fetishism.
