Scratches on Amy Winehouse's arm spark fears the singer is self-harming

[GRuser1]

She's a heavy drinker, anorexic and drug addict... I wonder how people only thinks she's harming herself when they see scratches...

[olivia720]

I stopped caring about a hundred years ago.

[buttmunch]

i shouldn't be laughing but damn, amy winehouse has got to have the most addictive personality EVER. is there any self-destructive behaviour that she hasn't tried?

And that's why I love her. She's a one of a kind kinda gal.

[cmmdee]

Eventhough she is so thin she has such great breasts.

So much for her "inspirational comeback" at the grammys

[Chimera]

She looks like some slut off of Coronation Street!

Would a "cutter" do that around their tattoos?

[MoodyJenny86]

I have had students who cut. They tend to do it in places where they can hide it. Most cutting is secretive.

^This is true...the majority of cutters I would say are secretive about it and very careful about where they cut but not all...some are attention seeking or crying out for help (with Amy it could be both but she obviously isn't trying to 'hide' anything as she's already a self-proclaimed cutter...)

Would a "cutter" do that around their tattoos?

^Well, it looks like Amy Winehouse does...:/

Most of the cutters I know go for patterns, not senseless rakings down the arms. They do it (generally) to prove they can still feel pain, relief, ANYTHING after becomeing numb due to trauma. It's methodical, not based on rage, but control of rage/hurt.

If Amy did cause those markings, I'd say it was because she was so uncomfortable, jonesing for drugs, her very skin itched without them.

It looks like she got thrown in a bag with angry cats

[suede]

Please, looks more like she stumbled into a bush and the bush won.
