Category: Let's talk
Okay, I have done this so many times. I have cut myself cause of the pain. I only did it to get rid of the pain.
I do not do it as much as I did before I have thought of it though .
Let me know what you guys think.
Um, I'm a bit confused.
well, i guess if it works...
So, Alleigh, you cut yourself one place to forget about pain somewhere else on your body. Or are you talking about getting rid of emotional pain?
get some help ... I was depressed enoug to think about doing something like that, but I never ever acted on that impulse to do any physical harm to myself or anyone else. I can't believe that was just a few months ago.
OK, let me tell you a little bit about cutting yourself. It might feel good at the time, but if people find out, they'll either abandon you or be so worried they start avoiding you anyways. Even if you think no one will find out, there's a 99.9% chance they will because either someone will catch on or you'll have to tell someone. It gets to a point when you just can't keep it to yourself anymore. The guilt of it, of being such a morbid and disturbed person, will just make you want to tell someone out of desperation, to create a new escape. Because that's all cutting yourself is, a little escape. And once you come down from that little "high" of it, you're gonna feel guilty about it. So my advice is don't do it because you'll lose people who actually do care about you, or if they do choose to stick around and deal with it, you'll feel horrible and start telling them they can do better than you. They can find someone less fucked up, someone normal. I'm so glad I don't do this anymore because it drains you, and the people you tell, and just causes so much extra unnecessary pain.
I agree wih the last post. Plus, hiding all those scars must be difficult,especially in hot weather.People would be wondering why you're dressed in a long-sleeved shirt when it's eighty degrees outside.
actually, I only do it when i am in emotional in pain. I am getting help for this. This is the only way I could get my anger out or if I am feeling sad.
I was the same way two years ago, but I didn't cut, I scratched myself. untill I found another outlit for getting rid of the pain, I started writing, it was never anything spectacular, but I liked it. people won't abandon you, they will try to help you. and that is good you are getting help, it took my parents a long time when I first told them that I thought I was going into depression, I told them in july, but it took me telling my school psychologest that I had thoughts of suicide to actually get them to do something about it. so they didn't abandon me, they and one of my friends did everything they could think of to help me.
I still wear long shirts in the hot hit. I do not care what on what people think of me. If they do not like me cause I cut myself then it is on them.
Alleigh, seriously, please get some help. I've never cut myself, but I have friends that have. Cutting might feel good right then, but it really solves nothing. It won't help with the emotional pain in the long-term.
I have never cut myself but I hit myself some times. I hae known some body that did ut there sel though. I used to have a psychologist now I have a nurse wh helps with mntal health problem.
Mmmhmmm, real friends won't abandon you, but they may avoid you when they first find out because it's a relatively new concept, most people don't know how to handle stuff like that.
There are also the health hazords of Self injury, infections, scarring, and other things like that. There are other ways to help, write stories or poetry, it doesn't have to be a master piece, but it is just to let your darker emotions out. , draw, sculpt, turn on some heavy metal or rock and just scream, turn on something and just sing. there are other ways then self injury. at the time it might help, but there are so many things that can happen as a result of it. trust me, I know what I'm talking about.
Maybe taking up Karate? All that punching and kicking could help you release some of that pent-up anger, or whatever bemotions you may be feeling at the time.
When I'm angry, I listen to music, masturbate, smoke a cigarette or play bouzouki. The most physical thing I do is pound my fist on the table for emphysis and if I'm truly depressed or frustrated (not angry), I cry and then pull out the bouzouki for an hour or more.
I play video games, and sing to evanescence when I'm depressed.
I just go to my bedroom or some imesput on music.
Music is the best way to go! If I am feeling sad or depressed, I go to my room, put on my headphones, and turn on music, and, depending on the situation, or the way I am feeling at the time, I will cry or sing...or both! Different things work for different people, and although I have thought of doing bad things to my self, I have never done it, and I am thankful for that!
Music is the best medicine for me when I'm depressed, and also a thing I use to celebrate when I'm happy. I tend to play it really loud, and the genre I listen to depends on my mood. Evanescence rocks, by the way. Sometimes I'll just sit and listen, sometimes dance, and/or sing.
Oh, and Tiffanitsa, sorry to be dense, but what's a bouzouki?
I need to ask a potentially ignorant question, just to see if anyone can help clarify things, please? See, I'm emotionally even-keeled, so I don't really experience really bad moods. I might feel a little blue sometimes, but it passes in a while. Now, what's the difference between being sad and being depressed? Is being depressed a deep form of sadness, or does it have to do with what's called clinical depression? As I understand it, if you are clinically depressed, playing music or crying won't make it go away. You usually have to treat it with medication. Somebody please clarify things for me a bit, please?
The diferene about beeing sad and Depressed, if you are sad it goes away after a while but depression well if your low moods last for more than 2 weeks then that's deprsion. i am on medication for depression. I started when I was 21 Iam now 28. Some times the medication leaves me daised and like a zomby. Sorry I am not good at explaining things.
Yeah, that's the problem with synthetic medicine and the whole Western approach. They treat the psymptoms instead of the underlying causes. I can't say I've ever had clynical depression though I have had some mood swings. I think when most people say they're depressed, they mean very sad, so the lines can be blury in everyday conversation. Also, from what I understand, there are different levels of depression, from mild to severe. Btw, a bouzouki is a Greek musical instrument a little like a guitar.
