Suicide and self harm!

GiveMeProzac:

Maybe, instead of hurting yourself, snap yourself with a rubber band, or mark on your skin with a pen or something. Worked for me for a while.

That's the kind of thing I'm talking about.

Well I suffer from depression, but I'm not to the point where I cut myself. I do think about what would happen if I killed myself, but I not anywhere close to actually doing it. Death scares me, plus I don't take physical pain very well. I don't think I could ever cut or kill myself.

How does cutting yourself make you at a different point of depression? Everyone handles stress differently. Someone who deals with their emotions by crying or yelling could be just as depressed as someone who cuts. It isn't like there is different standards saying someone is less depressed because they choose to not cut themselves.

Good point. So I said it wrong. Sorry.

No need to apologize, I wasn't yelling at you, but I didn't want you to feel like what you're upset over isnt as important as what someone else was. Not cutting is a healthier way to handle stress anyways.

I have a councellor. They say I'm 'manically depressed'. I don't believe it though. I don't self harm, for I have a bad fear of pain. I do though hack parts of my hair off. It helps in a weird way.

i dont listen to councellors. i had one once they made it worse.l.they dont always know what they are talking about. most councellorsave uni degrees so they can help people but most dont know what it feels like- they havent experienced anything like it before

No no, she just listened to what I was rambling on about, which was nice. She also went through depression so she knows partly some of the stuff I was going through.

I only really discuss things with one very close friend and my councellor...even then not much with the councellor. I prefer not to talk with my mother.

I argue with myself all the time, so it's okay.

I cut for a while.
But I stopped because it was just another thing to hide which made things worse.
But now my depression seems to have gotten worse.
Where before cutting was something I could control now I get very fidgety and agitated and if I can't find something to do I start rubbing my fingers and they get raw and cut up but now it's an uncontrollable thing.
So I have to find something to do.
In work I HAVE to go and clean something just to stop the scratching and rubbing.
It really annoys me.
And if I'm on my break I have to sit on my hands.

I tried that once and she told me I was being stupid. That there was nothing wrong with me and that I'm pathetic.

That's one good point.

igotsosickofcrying:

Yes, I cut sometimes...but not with razors...and it's lame, because i blame it on my parents' divorce. But i think i just cant blame them for everything, after all...i hate the way i maneged to screw up my own life, with my own mistakes, without my parents involved...nowadays, i dont cut that often...but i still cant stop thinking about suicide....it has became a part of my life...everyday, its there...and ive given myself a chance:i promised myself a year to get better...but if thats not gonna happen, im going to kill myself next August...i have to say goodbye my best friend.




I'm pathetic.

What is the point of limiting yourself to a year? For all you know your life could take a massive turn around in like a year and a half and you'll look back and this "Wow, imagine if id actually killed myself, what a waste that would be."

Most teenagers/young adults feel low and many of them suffer depression most of the time, but with the help from friends, family or even just the will to think positive in yourself things will improve..trust me im someone who knows. Everyone deserves a chance at life, dont deny yourself that.

Im like the worst person with blood, i would faint if i cut myself....plus it wouldnt do anything for me. PLUUUUS im a happy bunny anyway.

I don't know if this has been asked but I want to know your oppinion:

Do you believe in Heaven and Hell, and do you think that if you commit suicide you'll go to Hell?

On another note:
I used to cut myself very often. I didn't care about myself and I completely fucked myself over. My grades slipped, my family freaked, and I never spoke, amongst other things. I think the only possitive thing that came from that is my writting, and I'm not saying, "Hey, go slit your wrists because then you can write well!". I acctually concentrated and yeah, it was a given talent.
Anyway, I met a boy and he changed my life. I stopped cutting and I saw myself as beautiful. Life was good for once. This one guy brought all the happiness I'd missed for years back into my life. Steven taught me the meaning of life: That there is none. I owe my everything to that man. Sadly, Steven passed on September 12 of cancer, and my entire world came crashing town.

We used to say that one day we would take our lives to be together. My main reasoning for this blabber is that I was pondering the thought that maybe there is no after life and all that planning was in vein. Or if there is a Heaven and Hell, I'll go to hell because of the sin I comitted.

I meant I don't deal with it by cutting myself. I cry and listen to music. That's what helps me.

then why are you posting on this topic????

Uncle Fester:

then why are you posting on this topic????

This topic isn't just for people who self harm, or have tried to commit suicide. Its for all discussions on it, and if you looked back a page, you would notice a post made by that person.

This thread isn't just here so you can say "I cut myself, if anyone wants to talk, PM me" its so you can discuss your views on it, and so on.

I think people can do whatever the hel they want.
Personally, I wouldnt evr self harm, but its up to you really

Automatic man:

I never saw the point of cutting yourself. Pain doesn't heal pain just like killing doesn't stop killing. I also don't see a point in suicide. If there is a god suicide is frowned upon by churches and if there isn't then you go to nothingnesa and anything seems better than that...

thats true, Im a christian, and if you commit suicide, GOD see's it as a sin and you are'nt alowed into heaven.
