Ps: I don't think this thread as a joke. I use to be a cutter... My wrists only though. I really only have one scar.... And you can barely see it... So Im not afraid to show my arms.
Yea I use to cut my wrists and arms...It felt good. Depression is serious. You cant see my scars anymore so I don't feel ashamed.
this has to be the absolute worst place for the trolls to party. Get a effing clue people. Im really disgusted. It hurts to think people could actually do this and ita really brave of you to tell your story. In ever really cut myself, but ive always had intention to. Depression hits me hard every single day. I walk with my head held low hoping that nobody will notice me and just pass me by. To everyone im a happy go lucky person but they dont know how dead i am on the inside. Sometimes i would cry and want to kill myself. I'd sit on the floor and hold a blade to my arm but id never go through with it. I used to tell myself im just too weak and pathetic to go through with it. There were always small cuts every now and then but it wasnt anything to hide. I openly tell my close friend if i cut or if im depressed. It does help in some small way to share my problems. some people tell you to be grateful for what you have and to be happy with the good in life. They tell you that there are people that have it worse than you. And although that is true. You are who you and nobody else. You dont think and behave like other people do and you dont feel pain like they do. To those of you who havent been affected by depression, take pride in yourself and never let anything like this happen to you. Its a tough thing to go through if you cant open up your problems.
PurplePanda, depression is not an excuse. I've struggled with depression for years, yet I've never cut myself. In fact, most people who struggle with it haven't self-harmed. To be willing to do that to yourself is an entirely different beast. Also, just because someone self-harms, it doesn't mean they are depressed. I've come across quite a few people who did it simply because they thought it was cool or for attention. Just saying.
A 14 yr old on Instagram posted a pic saying "Get this to 3000 likes or ill cut myself" people who do that don't deserve someone to talk to, they should go to a doctor or something
There are many resons behind Self harming. Growing up can be tough living with depresion makes life harder i hope u hav good family and friend support around u, and i encourage u to talk to a health nurse or doctor maybe they can giv u advice or self help books or info on places that can help. Keep ur chin up because life is too short who knows what tommorrow may bring. Sending u strength and hope that ur situation improves :-*
Is this really the place to bring this sort of thing though? I don't personally understand the whole cutting thing so I won't comment or judge but this really doesn't seem like the place for it to me.
You're right. Pimd forums is not really the place for this. I remember in the past, threads like this would be locked and deleted, especially posts about suicide.
Pimd may not be the best place for this but it doesn't give anyone the right to be rude and criticize people for this. Suicide, self harm, mental illness are all extremely serious things and there's no way that anyone can say it's ok for someone to be so disgusting and rude about the subject. I cut, I have cut on and off for over 6 years. It's never really deep but it's enough to leave scars, I cut fairly recently too. I have no problem admitting it and I'll take all the disgusting things people say because I've heard it all before. People say if someone self harms or has suicidal thoughts it makes them weak. Well what's weak to me is the people who think they are better than us because they don't self harm or anything. The only weak people are the ones who feel the need to degrade and criticize others about things they do to themselves or thoughts they have.
I believe the strongest people are the ones who admit they need help and do something about it instead of putting other people down to make themselves feel better.
Why hurt yourself though what does that accomplish? I've always been confused about what train of thought leads you from I'm depressed and so sad to I'll cut myself to feel better. Just can't wrap my head around it
Self harm is very addicting. It's like cigarettes. At first it gives you that great feeling. That rush. But again, it's addicting and sometimes you just do it to do it even if you want to stop.
It's an addiction. It's like any other addiction, drinking, smoking, drugs. The adrenaline rush feels amazing and the physical pain takes away the emotional pain for a while. That's for me personally though, it's different for everyone.
If you knew me well, you'd know that I really really dislike myself. Before cutting I burned myself with candle wax. It gave me a really good feeling. Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls, "Yeah you bleed just to let yourself know you're alive." People have many reasons why they self harm. To get a rush is one
I first self harmed when I read about a girl who self harmed and said it made her feel good in a bad way.. Then I tried and yeah it went from there. I self harmed for about 6 or so months before I was diagnosed with depression and I've been cutting on and off for a bit over 6 years. And as hypocritical as it is I never want to hear of other a cutting, I'd want them to get help and stop self harming in whatever way they do it.
