macmert Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Well... I would never do that, if I have something to get off my chest, I would rather play guitar or play some violent PC game... I never thought of shedding my own blood, that is way stupid and irrisponsible, if you cant endure your pain then just quit living cause life is ruthless, cruel and you will have to endure much pain...

You know what's way stupid? That people form opinions like that, and haven't gone through it, or know people that have gone through. I cut for about....7 months when my life was REALLY out of shape. Everything was going completely terrible. And with me too, I would play guitar to try and ease the pain, but that was not enough. I stopped because my friends started to worry about me, and got to the point when they were getting depressed becuase of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad to here you did stop before things got worse. I regret cutting as it has scarred me now and it is always on my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungfubellydancer Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I think this is a very personal matter and it is inappropriate to be talking about it on a forum with anonymous people. If you are so willing to bring up this topic here, you ought to talk to a doctor about it, someone who can give a very clear and definite answer to your opinions. I didn't read anything here except the first post, so I'm directing my answer to anyone in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kresselack Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 When you look back at the scars on your arm, do not blame sadness for it. Blame yourself. You cut your arm, not your sadness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macmert Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 When you look back at the scars on your arm, do not blame sadness for it. Blame yourself. You cut your arm not sadness. Couldnt have said better... The thing is, people always say "you dont know what I have been through" and yes I dont and you dont know what I have been through, if people will cut or suicide over their problems, the human race would cease to exist... Think about the 3rd world countries, where there is war, hunger, disease and political conflicts, tyrants mass murder, terror stalks the land... But they somehow survive, I mean think about the arab - Israel conflict, many people suffer because of it, many arabs (I cant spell the pallisteiien... argh sorry about that) and jews alike... After that what I have been through is like a walk in the park to them... I sympthise (spelling???) with your pain but cutting your arm is not the answer, or calling me stupid, right thekid345??? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamerbird Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 I don't mean this in an offencive way but why do so many of you have closed opinions on it?It is something that happens so much and the people who do it don't need to be offended, they need help to get over/through what they are going through.

worm82075 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Honestly there are a few topics that I would consider inappropriate for discussion in an anonymous setting but this isn't one of them. I do not in any way advocate self mutilation but your body and your life is yours and yours alone. What you do with them is entirely your business and if you wanna cut on your self or even end your own life then hey, more power to you. More on suicide:There are many reasons to wanna leave this world and it is my belief that everyone should have the freedom to do so should they wish it. Yes, I know that in most cases it's a permanent solution to a temporary problem but who are you to tell me what to do with my life. It's mine and the deprivation of my right to end it whenever I see fit would only make me want to end it that much more for being deprived the freedom to do so. Like the saying goes, "I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees." There is absolutely nothing wrong with suicide, especially since there are over 6 billion people on this planet and it would only take 20,000 of them to repopulate it, so the old adage that "well if everyone who wanted to die was allowed to kill themselves the human race wouldn't be here" is not true. Do you honestly think that as soon as someone becomes the slightest bit depressed that they contemplate suicide? No, most suffer with depression for a long time while turning to everyone they can for help and only turn to suicide as a last resort to end the pain. Who are we to force people to live in pain. I know what your thinking, "well what about the people that care about the ones committing suicide". Yeah I have heard that before and it's the most selfish load bull I ever heard. "Well I think you should continue to suffer in agonizing torment because I couldn't stand to see you go." Selfish, self centered and oppressive. Besides anyone with a weak enough will to wanna die at the slightest bit of adversity deserves to die, that's natural selection, something we as humans have been subverting for way to long. To quote the late great George Carlin, "The kid that swallows to many marbles doesn't grow up to have kids of their own." If we wanna survive as the dominate species on this planet we have to stop propagating the weak and the stupid. I'm sure many of you will disagree with me and that is OK, this is just my opinion. One final quote to leave you with, Paul Mccartney: "When this ever changing world in which we live in makes you give in and cry, LIVE AND LET DIE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carah Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Cutting and suicide are entirly two different things. Most people who cut don't want to die, it is a way of coping with an internal pain (if you hurt more on the outside you can't feel the pain on the inside), or a person who is numb from pain; it is a way of checking if your still alive. Those who have never been there can not understand. People who drink and/or do drugs might, because all of it is a form of self medicating, a lack of coping skills, and too much trauma has affected their life. Instead of getting mad with the person suffering, they need support, and to know that they are loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septim741 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I've never done it. I've been extremely depressed before. It was when this girl broke up with me. I was almost to the edge. This happened almost 6 months ago and I am still having a hard time. I have used physical pain to overcome my emotions, but usually I just try to kill myself doing pushups and such exercises. And running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
