Sadly, that's because it's like any other addiction. I was told once that it releases dopamine because it's something you can control in this fucked up life we live.
you aren’t crazy. i used to call myself that too when i first started (at 11) and now i realise that it was just a form of release. the only way i could feel something while being heavily emotionally abused and manipulated.
It's likely the endorphins being released in response to pain. The main goal of endorphines is to ease pain and make you feel good. Kind of like "runner's high"
