can't really understand this. sorry, i hope you're not offended.
what emotion are you supposed to show by cutting yourself?
i also dont know what it feels like to cut, but maybe she's trying to say that just because you cut, you want to kill yourself. sometimes its all about depression...? o-o idk //sorry for not so good grammar
and dear, some people cut because they are in between of want to suicide and dont want to suicide (bc friendsss) ;-; orz im bad at making people feel better, but please do cheer up ^-^
it means you want to kill yourself *** oops
Some shrinks claim "Self-harm"(SH) or "Deliberate self-harm"(DSH) is an expression of pain which can't be made visible in any other way. There's no way to congregate all, but some explained that they're feeling no pain while (for example) cutting themselves - or rather, they feel pain in their heart/soul, not their skin. Cutting their skin and seeing blood spill forth relieves the feeling of built-up emotional pain.
The popular idea "if you cut yourself, then you're in no position to complain about the pain" is detrimental: it's pain. Pure and simple. If someone claims to be unhappy, you're not supposed to discuss whether or not someone's rightfully unhappy. Denying isn't helping, either.
this is one of those things that i think i can understand but not get into. :D
"They", meaning psychologists, say it's similar because the antisocial behaviour of the cutter shows the same pathology as those of suicides, ie., passive-aggression.
Ugh I'm so frustrated!why does everyone think that because you cut yourself you want to die? its mostly a way to express emotions for some people! if I wanted to die I would have cut myself the proper way! not across but down!
