Self-Mutilation

[insomnie]

Arrgh, I've never cut myself o_o, the farthest thing was kick the wall again and again until it was sore. And actually, about 30% of that was just hope of leaving some kind of mark on the door so my parents will get mad or something. The rest of the reason was that my parents yelled at me... a lot... on my birthday.

Anyway, I hate the fad things. It sucks, but I chose not to care about these things that much anymore because it's just the way that people relieve themselves of emotional pain.

And that a lot of people make their life more dramatic than it really is. I have a friend who has a netfriend that claims that her parents hate her and that everyone at school is trying to get her. And my friend told me that her netfriend got a knife thrown at her and her parents NEVER care about her and buy everything for her sister. And nothing for her. I got suspicious and asked my friend why she has so much internet time and when my friend talked to her netfriend, I read the conversation. From what I read, that netfriend's parents were just saying she uses the computer too much and they are even proud of her because of her school work. That's not abuse.

Back to the topic, I don't cut myself and never will.

No, I never cut myself and never would

It's so sad that many of you do and still do. Guys please don't hurt yourself over those stupid things in life, it is not worth it!!

Instead what you can do, you can pour your emotion and anger by writing it down. Trust me you'll feel much better afterward.

If anyone feel like talking through their problem with someone feel free to talk to me or PM me whenever you want, I will always answer you. Please...please...please... don't hurt yourself

Yes. I cut for like two years and tried to commit suicide a couple of times. My boyfriend stopped me. Ha, I love how my parents never noticed...

But guys, don't do it. Its not worth it, and things get much better with time.

i'll have to admit.... i cut myself, for 2 days, but oen of my friends found out and she talked some sense into me, so i basically only have 3 scars. and the reason i was cutting myself, is because i felt as if no one cares, my life was falling apart, and i was confused. but when i think about it now, it was a stupid thing to do.

I`ve thought about it, but never had the guts to do it. I`m squeemish anyways...

but yeah, I looked here because my friend used to do it, and she's trying to get help. She`s all suffering from depression and her friends have begun to abandon her and she has been on the brink of going back to her old ways. But, she found a solution, I thought you all might want to try it.

Get help. Talk about it to your parents and friends; anyone. Heck, even us ^^. And now, instead of actually hurting herself, she just writes about it, poetry style. She`s told me that it helps and I`m glad to see that she has been able to pick herself up and move on. [:

one of my friends used to cut. She's actually where i picked it up from. She was having family problems. I had to help cover for why there were suddenly cuts all over her arm.

What i'm trying to say is that, yes, cutting does help numb the pain of reality. For some it's their only escape route so they shouldn't be judged by it. We all have various reasons for the things we do, stupid or not.

It really saddens me to see people i know and don't know cut themselve to help deal with the pain. I'm used to bearing the pain and sorrows of others, and i wish i could help those people bear the pain too.

I know from experience that sometimes when you're hurting, you don't want to let others in, incase they end up hurting you even more. It's hard to get help sometimes.

no, i don't. it's pretty stupid to try to hurt yourself, and it seems like it's becoming an everyday thing...sorta like suicide. :blink: i mean, do people get pleasure out of cutting themselves? i don't get that.

It doesn't seem like you make an effort either. You see it as this stupid thing and nobody has reasons to do it, but you've never known anyone who's done it and you've never done it yourself.

If you focus on outter pain, you get rid of the pain on the inside. Well, for a moment or two. That is basically what it's about.

hehe i don't cut myself, but i do other things to easy my pain when im depressed. Instead of cutting i tent to bang my head on the wall or the floor or i would hit my fist against the wall. Im too scared to cut myself. Sometimes i do think of cutting, but i just cant do it.

{yes, but I got help}

...not from any "doctor" but from my friends. i'm glad they cared enough to help me out, and now i know that i really shouldn't be doing it because no matter who you are, there's always someone out there that has it worse than you do.
