i want to ask you somthing but i do not want you to take it the wrong way by any means, right here goes.

if you are in pain why would inflicitng pain on yourself give you relief from that?

I'm not her but my answer is because it's manageable pain..it's easier to control. For instance, if someone close to me dies, I obviously can't control that. There's obviously nothing I can do to change it. But, if I accidently get a cut on my arm, that I can control.. I can get a bandaid..neosporin whatever. I don't really cut anymore but I thought that would shed some light on it...

I have to admit i thought about it waaaay to much cause well i had *reasons* for it. I still do from time to time but i stopped cutting myself like a year ago.
I still get depressed preety often but i wont cut myself anymore or commit suicide, it's just now worth it not over that stupid bitch!!!
OOPS got a little carried away...lol

yes it has thanks. but i still find it hard to figure out why people would want to hurt themselves, but yeah like you said it is managable pain.

i self harmed a few weeks ago. my mum found out and i thought she'd hate me, but she's supported me. I'm very confused. I didn't do it for fashion or shit. I have stuff going on and it's hard to explain why i did it.
I need some help and i don't know if i should tell my frends or not. They keep testing me by saying stuff like "Oh self harm is so stupid. It's just a trend. They're stupid to do it" to see my reaction. Please help.

My friends are the same way. They try to bring it up in a conversation and see what I will say about it. But meh, I once told them about my self harming because I needed someone to talk to and they pretty much went right by the issue. So I know they don't care.. they think I'm just doing it to get attention because on of my other friends self harmed for attention back in middle school. But I have this other guyfriend who self harms and he has helped me through ALOT.
So it pretty much depends on the kind of friends you have. They might ignore your request for help or they might help you out. Either way, if you ever need to talk to someone or need help just PM me I'd be happy to help yah out.

I think suicide is really just
selfish..

You're only thinking about
how much your life sucks,
and you don't realize that
if you were to kill yourself,
lots of people around you who love
you and care for you will be hurt greatly.

Try to enjoy life one day at a time.
Sure, it has it's ups and downs, but not
everyone's life is heaven...

Here's what my friend had to say about suicide
and self-harm.




um... i think suicide is selfish and cowardish

and self-harm or mutilation or whatever... i think is uh... im not really sure. not healthy of course but i think there are better ways to "express yourself" though im not one to say cuz i tear up my tongue and i have cuts on my arms from the other night, so i cant really say or judge or whatever

Like many people have said on here before, a person who wants to kill themselves is normally thinking about how people DON'T love them or DON'T care about them. You can't call them selfish if they don't think anyone will care if they die.

Hey, look, wow, there's an idea! Lets try and enjoy life, one day at a time!

Look, people who really are depressed, cant actually do that. You know? To them, suicide is not selfish, because no one helped them to feel loved, and cared about, and no one helped them through that. Thats selfish, not helping someone through it.

And they cant just enjoy one day at a time, sure, for a while, but after that while is passed, thoughts start coming back, worries, terrors, upsets, they cant stop thinking about them.

its not just that easy, there are no quick, easy answers.

It seems these days, that more and more people are being diagnosed with depression. I was last year, and have been fine ever since, except for when I skipped my pills. Sometimes it sucks because you feel so alone, but look at the statistics, there are a lot of people that feel alone. I'm just glad I don't anymore. If you want to cut yourself, fine. If you're doing it for attention, fine. But you aren't getting it from me. There is help, so people shouldn't be acting this way all the time. There's a difference between depressed, and in a bad mood.

I don't know about anyone else but I find the term 'self-mutilation' offensive...especially when people refer to my piercings as that (though that's a different matter entirely).

To me, it wasn't mutilating myself. It was coping. And damn, I have scars but I don't think I should have to hide them just because complete strangers might think I wasn't a genuine cutter.

Besides, I find it rather amusing when people try pull my sweatband off to see whether I'm 'emo' or not, when they can see scars without taking it off.

if you have scars then you have mutilated yourself and you did it yourself therefore self mutilation.

True.

Self mutilation - injury or disfigurement of oneself.

I'm actually pretty ashamed of my scars. It was stupid of me and I wasn't really thinking.

depression sucks... but its not worth your life, especially at the age of 16, and so on. i mean, it doesnt matter how much your life sucks at the time because as soon as you're 18, you get to pretty much start over. i mean, there's always amsterdam, right? lol

Children can suffer from depression too.
