Description
Note: By no means is this against anyone who speaks of their problems or issues on deviantart. I'm not calling you BAWWWWers or any such offensive term. Depression is a serious illness, and this method can be used as a way of coping with mental pain by turning it into physical. I am not making fun of you for it, I'm urging you to get help.Whether you are cutting for attention, or for a serious mental issue, you NEED to get help. If you have to resort to causing BODILY HARM to yourself to get attention, you NEED to talk to someone about it. If you are depressed to the point this is the only way you think you can get rid of the pain, STOP. Call a friend, call someone you can talk to, HELL, if you have no one to talk to, TALK TO ME. Sometimes talking to a stranger can be the best thing.
Just don't think that harming yourself is in ANY way good for yourself. If you absolutely need to, send me a note. I've been a member of the Never-Be-Alone club on my other account, and I plan on joining up again.

Itβs a true quote. In terms of dealing with emotions itβs obviously not the ideal way to handle a situation but when youβre in the moment you donβt think. It becomes a coping mechanism, a way to relieve stress or otherwise known as emotional distress. So when someone cuts the second time this week, going on third it turns into a dependance or something they rely on. Much like an addiction, there is a certain feeling of pain they try to achieve. They arenβt suicidal, they just want to, need to cut. I feel like people should be talking about the effects of cutting and how it could be an addiction.

cutting is actually very effective in pushing back irrational emotions that could otherwise lead to suicide

I'm terrified because I've got a close friend who cuts, and even though she said she'd stopped, I've caught her with a few fresh cuts. A lot of people do it at school, one girl does it extremely deep, and I have no idea what to do. She acts like it's not a big deal and I don't know what to say :C

I'd in all honesty try and get help for her. Report it to an adult or a guidance counselor that can take things to the next step anonymously.

Of course people who do it for attention are runing the image of people with a legitimate problem but saying that all people who self harm do it for attention is ignorant. The people that do it for attention put that mentality in people's heads.
I am confused by that second paragraph. Why would the people who do it for attention be too ashamed to admit they do it? That makes no sense.

Most people who self harm are not resorting to it for "attention".

I thinnk that kind of attitude is disgusting. This is why so many people are too scared and ashamed to ever admit that they do it, that is the majority of people who self harm.

So explain to me that when my sister cuts and openly admits in a psych evaluation that she's 'doing it for fun', it's not ruining the image of people who have a legitimate problem.
It's people like THOSE who are too ashamed to admit that they do it, because THEY give them a bad name.
