Wrist-Slitting...

[Catzsy]

I don't think members arguing almost all the way through the thread helps imo - it shows lack of concern for the member. Anyway, I don't know an awful lot about it but it seems to be an extreme way of getting control of life when things get too much. Maybe there are things that make you unhappy? Why don't you like yourself? Do you try to achieve too much then you are extremely hard on yourself when you fail?
This seems to be quite a good link that explains it all quite well.

I really think maybe you should talk to someone who is close to you but well done for admitting on here. Hopefully that has at least helped to release some of the frustration you feel.

I've always wondered where the tendency to harm the wrists as opposed to another area of the body came from. I realise self harm is not contained to wrist slitting but it seems that wrist slitting has become synonymous with self harm. To be honest, I think it is attention seeking and imitation, whereas the people truly in need of help have an altogether different manifestation of symptoms and method of self harm.

What was your method of suicide last time if you don't mind me asking?

K guys, I feel slightly better compared to that day - not a lot though (still 'cutting) , and I forgot about this thread... anyway,

[@]@Kayla[/@] , Mg, you amuse me. If you wish to report my IP Address to the police.... fine by me? I'm not actually attempting suicide, and the self-harm isn't actually killing me... it may be injuring me but not killing me. The police have no right to interfere with personal issues i.e. mine and cannot prevent people from self-harming theirselves... a study which was completed about 2 weeks ago, showed that 1 in 12 teens self harm... the police barely deal with any of those issues.

Yet again, feel free to report me... and if you have, I've seen no policemen/women yet...

[@]@Publicised &amp[/@]; [@]@McDonalds[/@] , thank you for the links - I'll look in a min. xx I like the idea of it being an anonymous email though x.

[@]@dbgtz[/@] - yeah, a GP would probably immediately jump to a conclusion that I need drugs -_- and regarding everything else in your post... just wow. I've never seen someone give me such a useful and thought-provoking piece of advice in a long time... Tysm xox

[@]@Inseriousity[/@] - the 'writing something good before something bad' sounds like a helpful idea. I'll try it... but bearing in mind I've already made a list of everything I hate about myself ;/ (quite long)

OH Also, [@]@Catzsy[/@] , thank you for your link as well I've taken a brief look at it (whilst writing this) and it looks quite helpful.

[@]@Wig44[/@]. I've attempted Suicide 3 times before, most recent method was hanging/asphyxiation. And no, I'm not an attention seeker - I'v tried so hard to hide these scars and have been quite lucky that no-ones noticed them on my arm (long-sleeve t-shirts)... I have p.e tomorrow though so :S

I do get your point about attention-seekers though.

And for everyone else (sorry didn't tag you all), thanks for all the useful advice... the last 4/5 days have been really horrible to me and I've gone back to some of my 'old' and 'bad' methods of retaining hatred.

i've always wondered (and i don't know if this is insensitive to ask considering you're asking for advice, but if it is then sorry), but what do people actually achieve from wrist-slitting? like doesn't the pain (whilst doing it and then the days after whilst the cuts heal) ever deter from slitting? or is feeling the pain part of it?

Well I can't say this for other people - but the reason I started slitting my wrists was because I hated myself (not other people) and because I hated every little thing about me, I took it out of myself ofc.

Slitting my wrists was a way of 'punishing' myself for being here :/ I'm not going to shout at someone because I hated myself?

Idk about others tho.

I advise you to think, think about everything, over it and analyse it.

Things get to people that shouldnt because of the way their mind works, behaviours and effects come into play because of prior influence.

I advise you to understand yourself, analyse the world, sometimes theres a filter in the brain that can hide happiness, you have friends.

A famous quote:

Life is what your thoughts make it.

that quote served me well, i've never been suicidal or self harmed, but I do take it in my stride to try and understand everything, and I use to fear things, but I now see fears as silly because, life is what your thoughts make it.

I know its sometimes hard to change a way of thinking, when I was a child I use to have a voice in my mind I use to talk to, it wasn't schizophrenia, I never talked aloud to the voice, the voice was like a second opinion on subjects, I use to argue with my own being.

Argue with your own mind and sometimes thoughts can arise that complete it and make it better.

I'd also tell you to write, write in a book, you don't need to show anyone, write your thoughts, write what makes you happy, write what makes you sad and write what makes you angry, when people channel their thoughts into a visual, art, writing, music it often helps them feel calm about it, because they see it as a problem shared (is a problem solved / halved)

You are the only person who can control yourself, I probably sound mental but you need to just take control

I don't mean to be rude, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to die and you're unwilling to let yourself see that yet. I'm willing to bet you've tried to overdose before (possibly not though). I only think this because people who are crying out for help more than anything are likely to try less 'permanent' methods of suicide (like an overdose, or injuring themselves so they bleed out) OR are likely to fail when they try more permanent methods (like a gun, jumping off a cliff, exhaust fumes, hanging) and obviously because you're here and posting after trying to hang yourself.

Trust me, there is a difference between an attention seeking extrovert and self loathing attention seeker. If I was you I'd take heart in the knowledge that you don't really want yourself dead (as definitely appears to be the case) and build from that. Instead of using self harm as a release, find a different form of release (not narcotics). I'm pretty sure it was you who said you were asexual? Asexuality in men with no detectable lack of testosterone is just self repression. Are you confident in your sexuality, are you scared of rejection, are you bitter at women (assuming you are straight here)?

All these things are linked, see a CBT.
