people that cut themselves
 

what do you think of/about the idea of people that cut themselves...??

I think its gross :eek:

i think it is very wrong and sad that a person would do that to there selves
and they should seek help from somewhere like there schools guidance
counselers or there dr at least they could find the right help.
why the question??
you dont cut your self do you?? :slap: i hope not

I was just wondering...

Well, they shouldn't be bad-mouthed because of it, there is obviously something very wrong here, something troubling this person doing this, severe depresion maybe, something for which they need to seek help....schizophrenia even, who knows?? :confused:

Geek, I think that people who cut/burn etc themselves have a lot of self hate. It stems from a feeling of being an "outsider" of some sort, or carrying a burden of (likely) secret pain. When they hurt themselves, it makes them feel more real. It also makes them FEEL... anything is better than all that emotional painto them. GGG is right, this person needs HELP and is crying out for it by scarring themselves. If you or anyone you know does this, you may want to let a trusted adult know, but don't make that person feel like they are a freak for it or they will withdraw even more. PM me if you want more info since I can understand.

If you are being really serious here, it is a clinical problem. It can be related to OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) or it could be an attention seeking behavior. It also could be someone in a phase of mania, or even schizophrenia. Anyways it is a serious problem some people have, I have seen people cut themselves BIGTIME, saying they are "cutting out the demons" etc.... can get really deep in psychology!

some ppl just arent smart, ya know?

I hate to hear you say that. Being smart has nothing to do with a metal illness or disorder. It all has to do with chemicals in the brain, not smarts. Mental illness is hard for some people to understand if they have never known anyone with it. It is serious and not their fault, they need to seek help and understanding...

i know you did,nt mean it sometimes we say things before we think}}but its a sick morbid life to live to know that this is the only way to kill the pain inside you that its at you and theres not really a thing you can do it about it this is way of life that how some just smoke or eat to get buy others cut theme self ok and only a GOD can set you free from something like back shrinks only make things worse all the care about is money and they think that they can get inside your head and awake things that Are not even there Geek if you know someone or ya or na GODS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN HELP

I was going to say that right before I read your post Marlsy, smartness has nothing to do with it.... :(

your damn right

Believe me mental illness is not an easy or fun thing to deal with, I dealt with it for 9 years with my ex. It tears you apart and those who love you. :(

People who cut themselves are crying out for help it's their way of dealing with some kind of pain they are going through, I know that that's not the only reason, but that plays a very big part in people who decide to hurt themselvses in that kind of way, they are crying out for help, serious help, that they can't find themselves.

Ok, I'm going to take a huge step here and say something I really haven't talked about much. I did it when I was 18 or 19. I was going through post-tramatic stress symdrome and didn't have any idea why I was doing it or that I was really trying to get rid of the stress I had suffered from a date rape. I was in denial, but the pain I felt inside and anxiousness due to self-blame, somehow if I felt pain on the outside, it wasn't there on the inside. I was actually suicidal from it and went to the hospital for a while and seen this happening on another patient; unfortunately for me, it showed me how to deal with pain at that time. I stopped doing it shortly after I started. I had never heard of the actual disease or seen anything on TV about it, just seen this girl at the hospital. It seemed to help at the time. Years later, I got counseling and then realized that I had suffered from the rape and was in denial at that age.
Can't believe I wrote this here. I've never told anyone about it since the girl that I lived with at the time.
I'm not a freak BTW. It was a stage of my life I suffered through but am fine now. So, it's not just freaks, obsessive-compulsive people. I'm not proud of it by any means. And I'm not asking for sympathy or apologies here. Just wanted to clarify some things. The only freak I am now...is a Creedfreak :)
