Suicide and self harm!

*WALKING CONTRADICTION*:

Yet again, it seems like depression and suiside have become cool. With all of these bands publisising and making suicide popular, it gives kids more motive to think about it you know? The only thing is, I have thought about it. I think everyone has thought about it in one time or another. To think about suicide, seems to be natural. Everyone has thoes times where they feel worthless and forgotten. But we usually come to the conclusion that life is worth more than one bad day.

I don't get the message from bands that suicide is popular or cool etc. Although there seems to be a lot more cutters out there, there are more people against it (at least in my school). My view on it is that there are other ways of dealing with pain or anger than marking your skin with a razor and creating scars that will be there forever.

suicide was something i thought about alot, because of certain things about my life, but ive found a reason for living and i have promised that i would stay with her forever(sister)

Self harm was something that i did to numb the pain and all it really did was put me through pain, ive started taking pills and ive tried to get better so ive stopped, and now i just am the most quiet person in my school. Does anyone here take Tryleptol???? (sp), i take 2,500 mg a night, for bipolar (sp), OCD, and depression..and it helps take my advice!

last night I carved a heart into my side, my mom almost found out


I don't like doin shit to myself, i just can't help it, its fucked up!

All my friends are mad at me and wont let me go near sharp objects

I think different people do it for different reasons. I did it as a form of control. At the time, my best friend was mad at me for getting upset because both her and her boyfriend at the time got plastered one night and I needed a ride home. She sided with her boyfriend which hurt. Anyway, I basically did it in one sense to take control or at least to feel in control..and also, maybe in a way to get back at her..even though she never found out about it. I actually haven't done it in quite awhile although lately it's tempting just cuz..there's a lot of shit going on and yeah...anyway...yeah that's just my view on it.

that is why most cutters cut. its a way of keeping control of other people.

Maybe some do but not most.

we are told now that kids who cut are finding school hard, tough!!! Its a way of controlling the people around them, Mum Dad can i have the new stereo in currys, No sorry love you cant we cant afford it, and its slash slash slash, they will then feel so bad they will go and buy it for the child.

For some kids that are spoiled attention seekers, yes, but this in no way applys to everyone that does it! No way! Gah that is so not true. Wait. I'ma come back and finish what I'm saying when I calm down and figure out how to say what I want to say.

isnt that some stupid sin aswell? pffft i think that self harm is painful.

yeah it is and im getting help for it

but no, it dosn't hurt to much

I do it. Each time, I tell myself that it'll never happen again, but the second I feel depressed, I've got a blade in my hand. Everyone found out about a month ago and now I have a therapist.
I don't think it's a bad thing in general, it's a way of relieving yourself [for me, at least].

yeah its fucking ridiculous its like a fad now and why fucking cut yourself? you can easily get sick from that the bacteria geting into it
and why cut yourself? why not...punch yourelf really hard or something like that? or do you' want rthe sadness to drip out' and that kinda dumb shit?and theres something called

Its a fad for those who are trying to be someone else. Its not a fad for those who are actually depressed. And when they said self harm, they didn't just mean cutting yourself, some people do mutilate themselves in other ways. And that includes punching yourself.

And maybe they cant get medication. Maybe no one knows, maybe their parents don't care about them. Maybe they are so depressed that they want to die, but they pretend they are happy to everyone else because they are scared of anyone finding out.

There are many reasons, and medication isn't always an answer for depression or suicidal thoughts.

I punched a wall several times recently.
But that was mostly out of anger. I stopped cutting ages ago.

it's also an addiction..I don't know if anyone brought this up before and if they did, I apologize..I'm too lazy to check

but I was reading this one article that said that when you cut, your brain releases a chemical (don't remember which one) that's more addictive than heroin..

sometimes i feel like jumping off a bridge or commiting suicide with carbon monoxide cause im depressed with "the war on oil" or stuff that happen in school, i told some friends of mine but they dont listen or they call me an exagerate, some days im a bit happy but it only lasts like an hour, i wanna die but i cant do it!!

Yeah I heard that as well, something about the shock of the pain to your system makes your brain release a chemical that numbs the pain for a while.

I don't really know, since I've never been very depressed.
I don't really understand it though. Your first time, why do you decide to hurt yourself? Is it because you feel like you deserve to feel pain or something?
Guh, I dunno.

I would never ever ever Suicide myself, i have my life ahead of me, i wouldn't ruin it.
Not even how much i get depressed, my friends are always there for me.

a lot of my friends have thought about suicide and hurting themselves... one of my best friends was taking pain killers not long ago before we started the band. and its seriously a gerard way, "this band saved my life." I really have never considered stuff like that... i mean, last year i was starting to get the urge to hurt myself because of the shit that was happening to me, but i didnt because i knew id regret it

First of all, self-harm doesn’t equal cutting.
Some who self-harm (read: fake cutters) “only” wants attention.
Others who self-harm are masochists. Those who hurt themselves as a
punishment may (but not necessarily) have some sort of disorder/mental illness.
Same thing goes for the ones who feel numb/empty. It can be a result of depression
(as an illness, not a mood swing). Self-harm can even be a fascination.
Also physical pain is much easier to deal with than psychological.

Those who commit suicide are often mentally ill (ex. depressed).
It’s people who have given up and since hope is the last thing that leaves
a human it’s understandable that they kill themselves. Those who do kill
themselves can also be trapped in a situation from which they see no other
escape. The ones who try to commit suicide but “fails” didn’t want to die
to begin with in a lot of cases. It’s “just” a last desperate cry for help.

NOTE: I’ve never tried to kill myself and I have never wanted to, so of course I can’t know what it feels like to be in that situation.

Self-harm, such as cutting, used in order to feel better in some way never
helps in the long run. I wouldn’t say that self-harm is wrong because in
some cases it’s understandable, and to define wrong isn’t the easiest thing.
It’s not productive however and doesn’t result in a positive change.

When people do it to gain attention it’s even more stupid (read: it’s a stupid
thing to do). If you want attention do something productive. I know it’s not
easy but most things are better then hurting yourself to make people notice you.

My view on suicide is very complex but I’ll try to keep it simple.
In some cases it’s completely understandable. Since it’s your life it’s your
choice, but it’s horrible to make a decision which really, really hurts the
people who do care. Also there will be many unanswered questions and the
once who cared will automatically place the blame on themselves.
I won’t state that it’s right or wrong because I don’t think that I’m in such
a position where I can judge fairly. I’m not sure if anyone has the right to
say that it is either this or that.

Yeah, But for a lot of people, they don't have friends there for them.

I sure as hell don't. Well, not people I see every day.
