It's a cry for help. There needs to be scars and blood.
i guess so you have proof but i really dont know
You are an ignorant insensitive pr*ck. Screw you.
The phrasing of your question comes accross as sarcastic, and self harm is not something to take the p*ss out of. Why the hell would anyone lick a toilet bowl!! Anyway, most self harmers cut them selves in places where the scars won't be seen, they don't want people to know what they are doing, it is a deeply personal habit/addiction. Your suggestions are utterly ridiculous. If you wanted serious answers you could have phrased this q alot better and I would be happy to give a full answer, but by asking in the manner which you did you undermine those who do self harm.
Sorry to be so vindictive, but as someone who struggled for years to stop cutting, it makes me angry that you can take such an issue in such a lighthearted way. There are many other ways of self harming than just cutting, as well. People burn themselves, starve themselves, pull their hair out, take pills, poison themselves, any many other visible and invisible ways of self harm. But the whole point is self harm is to control your pain, or to release anger, sadness, frustration etc. So it has to be painful and instant. Please don't use self harm as a joking matter.
You know what Alan, that's mighty good advice. I think I'll give that a try next time instead
cuz feeling an instant pain feels good to some people... licking toilet bowls to get sick isnt going to feel good
You just don't get it do you! shame:(
Chilis in the bum is fun, not harmful.
OMG! That was written just how Alan would say it. Thats funny, I had Alan's voice in my head when I read it. LOL. I get your humour even if most on here would rather delete your question. Thanks for cheering me up.
'inserting a chilli up ur bum' hahahahaha classic!
Have you ever thought about getting a job as a shrink :-)
If your trying to ask a serious question you went about it all wrong and your not funny.
The reason people cut themselves is not about self harming as much as letting the frustration, anger and hurt they feel out.
When they cut themselves they feel like they are letting all that anger and frustration out because they don;t know any other way to deal with it.
because it's not really hurting anyone else
It,s called mental illness, people who have problems like this have a higher than normal I.Q. way above the level of your childish question.
You...
I self-harm, not always by cutting, but I do have many old scars. I have diagnosed schizophrenia. I am not "with it" when I self-harm. It is not something a sane person generally does. Sometimes things happen, I see things, whatever, and then when the terror is over, I look at myself and see blood or a bottle of pills. It **** scares me to bits. I've been trying to find the right medication for **** ages, and the past five years have been hell. I am only 18 and I feel like I'm in my middle aged years.
Well, to me you sound very ignorant about the whole situation. Self harm is a very serious medical condition that takes sometimes years to cure.
I am a self-harmer and i cut because I find the blood release addictive and I love the feeling that releases me from my inner numbness. I am currently depressed and I find this is one of the only ways I can find an form of release from this day to day. Yes, I got to therapy, but to be honest it makes no difference.
Self-harm is not always a cry for attention as your ideas seem to be. Self-harm is a way of keeping oneself alive.
Please, don't joke about self-harm. It serious and not something that should ever be talked about in the context you are using.
Self harm is a form of release to people who cannot cope with problems in thier lives. self harming is an illness and the people who self harm need support and understanding. To be labeled by others just helps to make self harmers feel worse and therefore this makes them self harm more as they feel a need for release to be able to handle the pressure from people who label them.
I hope your attitude towards labeling self harmers has not done any more damage
I really don't understand self-Harm. But it's cause by mental issues the person is facing. Like a dug addict reaches for the drugs a self harmer deals with things by harming their self. You would have to be in their shoes to understand. I think each case is different. The main thing is people suffering need help and support.
because if they didn't cut themselves they'd explode i think. xx
Most of us dont people you pass, may be self harmers but why must we have the scars??? I use my legs but no one can see them unless I flash and the scars dont appear as I take into account that I dont want them, so dont be sterotyping people, all self harmers dont have scars to "prove" to people what they do people hold secrets not scars....think about is some time as it may be someone you know or meet in the future, so dont judge and you seriously need to think x
people self harm as a coping mech... u are very evil u know. many of these people DONT wish for harm on others its just a way to prevent us from killing our selves. y dont u lick a lavatory bowl?
I would love to walk you round a psychiatric ward where people have thick scars from their shoulders to their wrists and from one side of their throat to the other. Try to give some thought to how much emotional pain a person would have to be in for it to manifest itself in such a painful way. Can you imagine in that tiny brain of yours the physical pain of taking a new razor blade and slicing the sh*t out of your arms or other parts of your body. And then having to put up with all the crap that family members etc. give you in the days to follow. And of course all the guilt that comes with causing upset etc. So don't be a prat and take the piss so horribly. I hope you never have to experience emotional pain quite like it. And if you ever do come across anything so terrible in your life, please think of these messages and realise "mmm maybe I shouldn't have been so much of a prat after all"
Because that would defeat the point of doing it.. (to attract attention)
because they are retards
You should start a webpage to help people practice self harming on a more productive level, It's great to see someone caring about the kids. I prefer the old fork in the leg method or lit insence sticks in the eyeballs. What a saint.
