In your opinion maybe.

It depends on who you are, when I did it I didn't want to die, I just wanted to hurt myself, so I made sure I had a clean surgical knife.
Other people just hack away at that arms with blunt scissors. It depends what situation people are in.

No, not in my opinion. In reality. You say cutting helps you cope with problems, but there are other non-dangerous ways to cope, you just don't see it because you deny help.Originally Posted by DarkSarah

Yes, in my opinion... But I have first hand experience. I wouldn't do it again, and I wouldn't advise anyone do it.

I DID cut to cope with my problems, and its what i have self control over, but now i dont cut for coping with my problems, like i said, i cut if i see a razor blade lying around. Which is why im getting PROFESSIONAL help, I never said i wanted help on the forums, i just posted away telling my experience, nd what to use to abuse your body. And also, you said non-dangerous to cope right? Which means id use a non dangerous way to get attetion if this whole thing with selfharm and me was an act to get attetion. I also dont deny help, i HAVE to have it now because of a recent incident, which if i dont stop, probably be put into one of those physcitric hospitals. And in reality, its probably a few peoples opinions, but not to some, some dont do it to cope, some do it for pain, blood, punishing themselfs, not JUST coping.
Self harm for pain/blood is a fetish thing, and doing it to punish yourself is the same as to cope - punishment for something they feel they're done wrong, they cut to cope with the guilt.
Fetish? Hm. your all entilted to an opinion. I cut for pain and blood sometimes, must mean im.. how you call.. fetish. *shrugs* Like i care.
Edit: And also, some people who punish dont do it to cope with the guilt, they abuse their own body for doing something and they probably think to themselfs they need to be punished and bring pain to themselfs for doing whatever it was they need to be punished for.

Sorry dearie, but doing something "for doing whatever it was" would be out of guilt ^_^Originally Posted by DarkSarah
