Suicide and self harm!

wow.

There is absolutely nothing for me to say here...I have a friend who used to cut. She would show me her new scars, say "I did that with a fork!" and expect praise of some sort...

Yeah, she's pretty weird. But so is cutting. I don't understand it.

And yes, depression is now cool. "Misunderstood" people (that really aren't misunderstood at all, but feel sorry for themselves) get whiny and start into this circle of self-hate that people then feel it's prudent to stop with Prozac.

I say, if you've got a friend or relative that's depressed, gimme a ring. I'll come over and five 'em upside the head. "You're not fooling me, dumbass. Get up and go to the movies, see "Wallace and Gromit." This won't work on anyone who actually IS clinically depressed, but you know what? There's damn few of them. I've never met one myself, I've only met little whiny bitches.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I just get so pissed off about this.

A fork... odd.
But the thing is you actually can't tell if someone's doing it because it's "cool" or because they honestly think it's helping them unless you're actually them

Well, I do know that nobody in my town is like that. Although since they're all inbred hillbillies besides a chosen few, who came from out of town, they may think it's helping...but then if they have physical pain they might not be able to SHUCK THE CORN!! Hyuck!

But it's true, there are those who actually are clinically depressed, etc. For those I can't help you, and they have my deepest sympathies.

HOWEVER!! If your friend who cuts also starts to dress in the Gothic style, chances are they just want attention. I know this to be true. Just about all actual Goths have now long since abandoned their style, since it's been hijacked by stupid little pop-punkers. And yes, I realize GD is labeled as pop-punk...but even my old 55-y.o. mother says that "this is good rock 'n' roll."

Yeah... I have a friend who tries to fit into the whole emo scene thing and cut herself in the middle of school....
And that's cool how?

But at that point I was freaking out because I kept cutting again and didn't know how to stop... but in a way I'm glad I saw her do it because it kinda made me realise it seems really lame looking at someone else doing it.

hi again:

hi again:

i dont get why people say that real cutters dont do it for attention.. people that harm themselves like that for attention are just as bad as the ones that do it 'for real' i mean.. it obviosly shows that they do not get enough attention from parents/friends/teachers and they need to harm themselves to get it..

Yeah..
But real cutters aren't actually in their right minds at the time. It's called depression m'dear.

i say, at least 90% of people with "depression" are full of shit.

Yup. It's a sad fact of life. Apparently depression is "cool".

yeah...I don't see how it's cool...it might be because people want to sound emo...? I don't know...I attempted to cut once...but it didn't work...which is good I s'pose. I hate being depressed...it's a really shitty feeling. So I don't see how it's cool.

I'm glad to hear you didn't wind up cutting yerself, Blue...but i did laugh, pardon me, at the fact that it didn't work... did you use a spoon? That may be not a good idea...lol

Yeah, I can only think that cutters want to seem emo. Another part of music culture I can't stand! GOD it sucks.

*look at me.... I'm cutting myself really obviously, aren't I cool... oh wait, I'm just trying to be emo...*

Hmmmm...emo isn't THAT bad. I like The Used...and...no, I did not use a spoon. I may be dumb and freaky and very very very dumb. But I am not stupid enough to use a spoon to cut myself! Actually...I might, you never know. Sometimes I don't even know what I'm doing. My friends thought I was crazy when I dunked my head in the sink which was full of water. I don't see anything wrong with doing that...but anyway...going kind of off-topic...I used a big pair or scissors. All it did was scratch my skin. Stupid dumb pair of scissors...doesn't know how to cut...! Wait...it fucking saved me. Clever clever pair of scissors which didn't cut me..!

By the way, if anyone is trying to stop cutting...my advice is to try finding some sort of different way to deal with depression. Like, writing it in a song...? Doesn't matter if it sucks and is depressing because you don't have to show it to anyone. Bang your head on the wall...? It works for me. Or...locking yourself in your room and listen to violent or depressing music? Wait...I don't know if that works...it kind of gets me calmed down though. Noonono...that's for when you're angry. Don't take that last bit of advice..even though no one will probably take my advice anyway. Ermmm...play some music..? Like..if you can play the guitar or anything...or...DRAW! Draw people with knives in their heads if that makes you feel better. Or...draw your enemies with like...I don't know...big smelly feet...geeky teeth...big glasses...whatever.

Wow..someone agrees with my advice
And I thought my best piece of advice was to not take my advice...but it seems I'm wrong. I have never felt so good to be wrong before

Well I've cut before and when I now I'm stopping if ever I get the urge to do it I write and listen/play music and all that kind of stuff, and it really does help

Woooooooow! My advice works.

Everyone take my advice!

Don't mean to spray my personal phylosophy here again, but REAL depression is so not cool... I mean, people pretend to be depressed 'cuz it's fashionable, somehow. That's just sick because people who have depression syndrom are unhappy and not because that's how they decided it will be, because it's a desease, like epilepsy or claustrophobia.
It's very sad when people pretend to be depressed because not only is it irritating, but it passively hurts people with Depression Syndrom 'cuz others don't believe them, think they're just another idiot trying to attract everyone's attention. And those people are really depressed and being ignored and laughed at, they go out and kill themselves, although they could have been saved if someone helped them at a certain point.
Depression sucks, big time. I'm thankful for days when I feel good, and I would never fake a bad mood 'cuz that's just rediculous.
I never tried cutting myself, although the idea of taking my mind off of emotional pain by inflicting phisical pain on myself did flash through my mind.

My husband was the youngest of the six kids in his family (yeah, yeah, I know...), he was always ignored with his depression, which happened to be real. He attampted suicide 17 times, lost 15 months of his life to coma. But, I guess, he just wasn't meant to die yet.

Depression is not cool, it's painful. It's given to a lot of creative people because they see the world in a different way and that's a pressure that brings you down. But pretending to be depressed is stupid. It's like that second garbage can kicked over - it's not punk, it's just trendy. And that's never a good thing.

If anyone wants a piece of my depression, you're very welcome to it. And give me some good mood, it's too expensive here in Hell.

princess byxdawn:

not everybody cuts because they want attention. only the people who cut and then go TELL everyone that they did or let people know somehow are, i think. some people cut because they really just feel like dying or are depressed. i used to cut and be suicidal all the time and i kind of still am depressed, but i dont go around telling everyone. nobody knows and i dont do it for attention. i do it because i hate my life and i feel alone. and i have other reasons too.

sorry i just had to clear it up that not everyone does it for attention.

yea, i know not everyone does it for attention. we (or me at least) were just talking about the ones who DO do it for attention.

though i must say, in this day and age, i think a lot more people are just doing it for attention then are actually incredibly depressed and truely are finding relief in it.

that sucks. people should stop.

its not good for them.

No shit Einstein.

hahaha, yea. i dont think they're too concerned with their health, just as long as they feel "scene" or "cool" enough.

well then i reall just dont get them...

lol. but dont the people who cut their wriists and stuff feel good when they do it?

I used to be depressed..but I'm not so depressed anymore And it feels greeeat to not be depressed. So now I write hardly any songs.
