Suicide and self harm!

*Blue Star*-GARBIEKINS!!:

~Nice_Girl~:

And to all the people who are thinking of commiting suicide,pleese dont do it,cuz the easy way out wont let you go to a green day concert.

That just suddenly made me think...but then...I wont be able to see a Green Day show when I'm alive anyway. And right now...I think I'm going insane...but don't worry...I'm not gonna hurt myself or anything. I just wish everything would disappear though...and everyone would just rot in hell for ONCE. Hahaha. Well, not everyone...but all the bastards in my life. Just rot, rot, rot.

Well, you're just full to brimming with holiday cheer, eh?

i almost did till green day said no way your too cool i mean i read through the lines of their music its why i am so fucking obsessed with them so green day saved my life and well i would cut i still do i cant stop

I have harmed myself a lot slit my wrists broken my bones.
But when green day came it made me think that there is othere people out there like me,who feel the same are the same.So they have really helped me get through tough times and i thank them for it!!

About 3 months ago I got really depressed. Gave myself 28 scars on my arm alone. I tie rubber bands around my wrists and tried to overdose. My friends helped me realise there was something worth living for. And special people get you through it. Every morning I look at my arm and think "was it worth it?"

I used to cut a lot just because i need to vent my mental pain...and i thought that mental pain was worse to deal with than physical. I never really wanted to die...but i stopped since i saw how much it was hurting my close friends and how selfish i was being by harming myself...

what's selfish in harming yourself?

yeahdude:

what's selfish in harming yourself?

Nothing. It's selfish to say that self harm is selfish.

Just like as if:

If someone wants to kill himself, then go for it. Your life,your decision.I don't think that committing a suicide is selfish at all. I mean you live for yourself, not for others.

I comepletly disagree. It is a selfish act, because you are hurting the ones around you, the ones who love and care for you. So you'd be hurting the ones you love, and maybe even driving them to suicide.

I've been depressed since I was eight, but thankfully I never went to self harm or suicide. It's starting to get better now though.

ive never seriously considered it because mostly i saw what those kind of thoughts could do to one of my best friends and how no matter what i or anyone else said it couldnt help her, that she was trapt in her mind, and it was distorying her and everyone around her and i never want to do that to myself or the people i love

To all you people who say self harming is selfish..grrrrrr! at you..grrrr! >.< You may never eat a decent cookie in your life ever again.

Selfish? It's their life...if you don't want them to go because you're going to miss them and get all sad and boohoohoo..then you're just thinking of yourself. I know it's hard to let go...wait, I'm talking about death again.

If you feel the need to do it...please don't. But if you do...well, there's nothing I can do about because it's not my life so I'm not going to stop you.

What am I on about? Ugh...

Bloodraine:

I just don't see the logic behind self-harm anyway.

(I would like to add that my above comment was referring to teenagers in particular nowadays who cut at the slightest provocation or upset for fashion and acceptance rather than geniune mental illness...)

Bloodraine:

I just don't see the logic behind self-harm anyway. Suicide, yes.

But how does slitting your wrists, getting more depressed and embroiling yourself in more and more pain help at all?. Ehh, maybe i'm just different to the majority of teenagers these days.
Maybe I can just deal with things inside my head but you need to take the anger out on your bodies, I don't know.

If i'm upset or angry I just mull it over, think about it for a while and then move on...

It's not about being upset or angry. It's the pressure of depression or anxiety or some other mental disorder that you can't just "mull over" and move on. People cut themselves because the physical pain from the cutting makes the emotional pain subside for a moment - it's a break from the constant tension inside of you.
It might make you feel even worse afterwards, but it's a sacrifice for the relief that the self-harm gives you. If people choose to make this sacrifice - I will not blame them. And I don't think anyone should.

Unless they did it just to look cool and then whined about it afterwards. Then I would probably blame them.

Hmn...I'm not blaming them. Obviously it must be a great help to people because so many people do it so it can only be a good thing for people with inner problems. I was under the impression that some people do self harm because anger or being upset (Distressed being a better word?) to relieve emotional pain as you put it...and it wasn't exclusively down to mental disorders or depression.... I thought they were simply indicators of such a thing.

Perhaps its simply one of those things that just doesn't suit me. Maybe I just deal with things by thinking about them, logically, maybe I'm just not very emotonal at all. We all deal with things differently, y'know, and if people slit their wrists to deal with it then I respect them for it, so long as they aren't just doing it because they're a little down and all their friends are doing it like *Blue Star* says ...

Well, it's not like anyone is asking you to come join them in the cutting, right?
And the whole deal with being cool is just a whole different animal - that's just stupid, and hopefully those people will understand that eventually.

I don't think I've ever quite been depressed, close to it though. I would never, ever commit suicide. My best friend's mum did that last year in June. I don't understand how anyone could leave their family behind, you just gotta stick it through thick and thin.
