:thumbsup: :tongue: ;)

no :sword:
 
I'm a wuss. I'm too afraid to hurt myself. I figure, I could cut myself, but then I'd puke at the sight of my own blood. I figure, I could drive off a cliff, but then I might not die right away & I'd have to suffer & that would just suck. I figure, I could shoot myself in the head, but I've heard you still live for a few very painful minutes & I'm not one who can do pain. I figure, I could drink alcohol until I die, but then I'm going to vomit alot & I don't think anybody wants puking to be the final activity they do in their lives. I figure, I could find a way to decapitate myself, but then I'm going to see my body minus the head in the end & that's not the last view I want to see. I figure, I could jump into a lake or the ocean or something & just not resurface, but if you drown yourself it takes you 30-45 minutes to really die...that would suck total ass.

I've got complaints for every self-mutilating act out there. there's no good way to do mutilation. it all hurts. (duh.)
 
there are so many reasons for this i dont even know where to start. Personally, I began by putting the occasional cigarette out on my arm, progressing to some pretty serious hot-iron branding and ending in nights where I would simply beat the shit out of myself fight club style. Initially, i used it as a kind of punishment. If I had messed up or done something wrong or was mad at myself in general, i gave myself a little "slap on the wrist." Later, it became a method of personifying emotions that i didn't know how to deal with. I was trying to take the inner pain and turn it into something physical that my body could heal. A comedian named Lewis Black does a little bit on this topic ("Because if I'm going to hurt that bad, I'm going to be the one to do it to myself. Oprah calls that empowerment"). The self-beatings came after a string of failures. I still don't quite understand where they came from, but therapists like to blame my parents for creating a self-disciplining mechanism in me that was simply out of control ( I was raised in a strict roman catholic household, and was spanked as a child). True masochists derive sexual pleasure from pain. This has to do with the fact that when the body senses pain, it immediately releases pain killers that provide a sort of high; thus generating the phrase, "pleasure from pain." If you're doing this to yourself, stop it. Either you don't have the emotional strength to deal with your life, or you're just looking for a cheap way to push the happy button. It's not going to help, it will only make things worse. Nobody will help you if you don't help yourself.

I would go so far as to say that humans will not do something that they think is bad for them. The percieved reward (like the cash in a bank robbery) is what drives people to do this. They believe, for one reason or another, that what they are doing is beneficial to them.
 
People just don't understand....you have to be a self-mutilator...to understand...and when your not one...you think it's fucking retarded. People have different ways of dealing with stress.....Cutting is like an addiction...I mean...if you drink, smoke, take drugs, anything like that it's just like cutting.....
Cutting is also not a "suicidal" thing....it is to want attention...you want help from whatever it is your stressing over.....it's a cry for help....
so for the people that are ...not self-mutilators..and have never been....grow up....you just don't know what it's like.
 
So, are you trying to bash the people who actually do the smart thing and don't cut themselves? That's kind of being a bit hypocritical.

Nope but before you bash someone about what they're doing actually think of what they're going through and that they are just wanting help....ok? good
 
Some do it for self-preservation oddly enough.
Some do it because other forms of self-destruction are not as appealing.

Why do people do anything? Depends on the person, their experiences, thought processes, etc...
Things aren't always so simple.

I would dare to say many folks here, at some point in their lives, have done something self-destructive. You just chose a different poison.

As I see it, part of growing up is figuring out how to deal with things. Sure you do some dumb things, but hopefully and eventually, you find out how it all works and act accordingly.

If you know somebody strugglin', give 'em a hand not a kick. (like some on here have, and it was rockin') :thumbsup:
 
think back to all the people you know who tried to commit suicide and failed.

now compare that to how many people you knew who have succeeded.

what most people call 'suicidal' is just some fucking idiot screaming for attention in a pathetically ridiculous outburst.

i had a girlfriend threaten to kill herself. frequently. once it got so bad she told me she was "putting the knife in [her] stomach now. goodbye, dan *gurgling sounds and phone dropped*." i called the police and when we all got there she was fine, with a tiny red mark on her stomach. they took her away in an ambulance and kept her at a mental institution for 48 hours. stupid bitch..
 
In Juvi cutting was considered a way to prove how tuff you where, how deep could you cut how for could you go before passing out of the pain, sorta wierd but if you made it the farthest you got accepted and being accepted in juvi saves you......in a way
 
"Suicidal" people are not screaming for attention...they are that way because they see no hope in life and they see no other way to solve it...
Now your girlfriend on the other hand...was an attention getter.... she was just wanting YOUR attention. Know the difference.
