Self harm awareness day<3

[Cerys]

i've been a victim of long term bullying, close family dying etc etc but that is life, you deal with it. if you accept defeat then what's the point? like i said it's like beating yourself at a game.

oh well thats a shame, but not everybody can cope as well as you can. Everyone's different and if you have a problem with people not being to cope with anything and everything then seriously... ugh

And SERIOUSLY; Stop calling us idiots. All you're doing is hurting us even more and making the chances of harm go even higher. Use a change of words..

i don't doubt it, one bit. I know it happens it's not like i'm turning a blind eye to it. my girlfriend is an ex-cutter or whatever you want to call it so i have a little insight.

the fact is, your bullying and hurting yourself ALONG with the pain you're already putting up with (or not putting up with) doesn't make sense. you're essentially double downing yourself.

it's idiotic. yes there should be more help/services/charities w/e for people like this to realise how much of an idiot they are being to let something anger them that badly.

i feel sorry for them, you, w/e but self harmers are idiots.

tell your girlfriend shes an idiot and we will see how long she stays with you

greed and selfishness is why it is done.

What a load of ******* **** ****.

Lol people are so selfish for taking anger out on themselves because of how they're TREATED BY OTHER PEOPLE? I'm pretty sure if someone was to harm themselves, the last thing they would care about it IS THEMSELVES.

Swear to ******** God I don't know how half this forum get through life with attitudes like this.

greed and selfishness is why it is done. although they're idiots because if they kill themselves it's like beating yourself at sports. who wins? nobody. idiots.

**** it, turn to drugs if it's that bad. life isn't that bad. it is what you make it.

btw, turning to drugs when life gets bad is a form of self-harm you know? you talk about greed and selfishness when taking drugs is one of the most selfish things you could do, it ruins people around you too, if you're talking cutting yourself then you're only harming yourself as generally you keep it hidden so it can't exactly hurt anyone else. sometimes life is truly bad or you have something you CAN'T change, life isn't always wht you make it, sometimes all u can do is ignore it which is harmful in itself

lots of things are idiotic, alcohol and drugs are idiotic and im sure you do at least one of them. but yes the point of awareness day is to educate and give help advice on other tactics to get rid of anger, not to degrade people for the way they deal with it now. i don't cut myself often unless theres something in that specific moment i cant escape and it provides temporary relief, generally drink alcohol instead but when there isn't alcohol, there's that safety net, but drinking alcohol as a form of relief is more acceptable than this when its pretty much the same yet never seen as a problem. i agree it's a silly thing to do but once you've done it once it is like an addiction cause you always know you'll get the instant relief from it

really i think it's a case of people knowing it will wind us up and their only justification against self harm is 'idiot, weird' etc but when we give our own justifications many of them stop posting ive seen lol so it's probably just an excuse to argue hopefully it's caused some awareness anyway

That's the trouble with the internet though. People think they can do whatever the hell they want. I seriously hope that oneday they shall slip up in real life and reveal their true thoughts/personalities etc

What about those who gain pleasure rather than relief?

I'd like to clarify I do state my opinion on anything should it come up so don't assume I use the internet as a shield.
