For The Ones Who Don't Understand Self Harm

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

For those who don't understand self harm: please read.

I remember being teased in highschool for my scars. I remember always sitting in the back because I didn't want anybody to constantly see me. When they did, what I said was never anything smart, or beautiful, or bright. I was going through what most people will call a phase. I call it, the most important peak of your life. Maybe even the most difficult. At 13 I was already told I had apathy, depression, bipolar disorder, and maybe even schizophrenia. I remember looking in the mirror telling myself how ugly my lips were, and that my nose was too big and that everything about me was wrong. All my life , I had always struggled to be who I wanted to be. I wanted to be that cute girly type bombshell that didn't care what others thought of them. In my life, I haven't been able to achieve even the last part.

The thing that most people don't understand or find themselves cringing is the fact that most of us who suffer from depression in that quantity, do in fact slice through our skin. I've gotten faces before from many different people they always seem to ask,"well, doesn't that hurt?". Well yes. It does hurt. The way I remember it, there isn't any pain when you first take a knife or a blade and actually cut it through your skin, in that singular moment, your not sane, and your not capable of controlling yourself. You feel the whole world on your shoulders plus the sun and the moon. After the cuts are done, I'd say maybe about ten to twenty minutes before they start to burn. They burn like an inferno sending hot flashes all over your body. I remember having cuts all the way up and down my leg and also having dance the next day. Days after cuts, will still hurt. Showers in warm water will hurt. I can honestly remember saying that after something big happened and I cut slot, instead of a knife I'd take a straight up razor. Such a flimsy piece of metal, such a great deal of pain against my sin. Something people also don't know, razor cuts hurt more than cuts made by a box cutter or a regular knife. Fo the people who read this, you might be skating your head calling me crazy and saying I'm "not normal. Here's the deal breaker:

I do consider myself to be normal. Being someone crazy is considered not knowing. When I used to grab a blade to cut myself, I wasn't going crazy, because I was totally in control and totally knowing of what I was doing. For the people who will never be friends or never accept someone like me with scars everywhere, I'd like to say,"hey. What's your name?"

Again, not looking for sympathy, just for a 13 year old to read this and know if I'm okay now, she will be too.

[Catsforlife123]

Wow. This is something people should know. I'm 13 and the last time I cut was about a month ago. When I was 12 I cut my wrists and it just got bad when my parents found out. I'm not sure what happened. I also got drunk during the summer. Then in September through like the end of October i stopped really eating. No I never got diagnosed with anything either. I hate telling people things like this because I feel that because I never got diagnosed that there was never anything wrong with me. I was weighing at 115 when I started to kinda stop eating. I went down to 105. I didn't let myself get too bad because I realized that this is bad. i didn't eat like as little as an anorexic did but it was under 1000 no matter what. I did binge there and there.
But what matters is that I'm defiantly happy now ( I have my moods tho lol)

I still don't understand why people self harm

[Hannah591]

It's hard to when you've not done it or been in such an emotionally distressing state. I didn't either but I have self harmed and now I understand. I don't recommend it though.

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

I know what you mean. Before I ever self harmed I even thought that people who did were just plain idiots. Now I look back and realize that I have to see the world through other people's eyes.

[Opinion Owner]

@Hannah591 why do you self harm? I mean what's the cause if it?

[Opinion Owner]

I don't see then as stupid people but, what on earth would happen that makes you self harm? No offence I swear

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

Well, for me I was constantly hearing , " when are you going to learn " or " stupid little bitch " or turning to my sister and saying " don't be a dumbass like your sister " over and over again for almost 10 years. O we time it eroded my confidence. At school , I kept my head up high but a home , I felt like complete crap. After all those years of emotional abuse , my mom finally broke out of her shell and said she wished that I was never born and started telling me she should have aborted me. After a while , the slightest thing she would say to me , pushed me further and further until I remembered that people would cut when they felt depressed so I ended up taking a razor and just scratching down my skin softly. At first I didn't feel anything when I sliced it down my skin , but after It stings for a while. I felt like I deserved the scars and deserved to have cuts all over my body.

That's just sad :( I am sorry for this darling but I hope you stop self harm because ouch I think that's extreme , haven't you thought of seeing a doc or something

When I was little
I stubbed my toe
My dad told me to bite my finger
Until I didn't think about the toe
By putting pain in one place ,
To forget about the other

[Anonymous]

Cutting is a post 2000 fad. It barely existed before then and now it's almost a majority of millennial kids who have never heard NO, are entitled spoiled brats with emo complexes because they feel they are so misunderstood and life is soooo hard on them, most of them have few if any real issues and have become self inflicting drones because "they just need to feel something" usually because mommy and daddy care more about being their buddy than their parent. They lack the mental ability to deal with even the smallest part of real life.

I grew up in a home with a house hold income of less than 1800 a month with 2 other siblings, I was beaten at school by practically everyone including the girls, there was no anti-bullying support. I spent the majority of my teen years running or hiding from ass beatings. But my parents told me No, I understood that actions had consequences, I didn't have everything handed to me without working for it, and because I understood what actual struggle was, I grew some thicker skin and I got through it. I never cut myself nor was it something thought about then because that was simply stupid and those who did, did it to die, not get attention.

Cutter are children who have no idea about real life and how to deal with it. When they grow up they are going to be unable to handle what life throws at them. They will have to rely on social campaigns and "everyone's a winner" kid gloving of society to keep them from "feeling bad about themselves" because dealing with actual life problems will absolutely destroy them.

[ShaeNielson]

This is the most ignorant ting I have read in awhile. People do not cut their themselves to the bone because they are entitled brats. Sure some kids make 3 tiny lashes and post on Facebook saying "is your joke still funny" and sure that is bullshit from spoiled brats, but some people are so severely damaged the only way to relieve the pain or because they feel they deserve it, is to make serious damage to themselves.

[CoolSky01]

@ShaeNielson they are attention seeking little brats you dont have to cut yourself to look cool, everything this guy said is 100% true you are 17 years old you will do everything in your power to look cool including cutting yourself, and honestly its getting old and annoying so cut the BS and deal with life like a grow up.

[Opinion Owner]

@ShaeNielson Truth and fact isn't ignorance simply because you don't like it.
Cutting barely happened before 2000 that is a fact. You underestimate what children will do to feel important or special. If you were born after 2000 in the western world, you are part of the most entitled generation to ever grace the earth. Being incapable of dealing with issues you assume are somehow special to you or your generation is narcissistic. Kids were abused before 2000, kids were homeless before 2000, there was no anti-bullying, there was less protective agencies, and yet kids didn't do the shit you children do.
You live in a world where you are coddled, have no consequences for your actions, are never told no. If a kid in the 90's cut themselves they wouldn't have been coddled, they would have been instantly sent somewhere for psychiatric help. Stop justifying your childishness and trying to make it seem like an affliction, it's a choice... if it wasn't kids would have always done it.

[CafèMachiatto]

@ShaeNielson It's not a stranger's job to care.

[ShaeNielson]

Yea absolutely generalizing is the way to go, everyone knows that. Don't act like your generation was all that in a bag of chips. And you can't compare normal back then to normal know, back then blacks were slaves, homosexuality was seen as a disease and you could be admitted to a mental hospital from falling from a horse.
"Back in the days" it wasn't all sugar as you naively think.
It seems as of you are completely ignorant to the fact that times change.
Im not saying it's an affliction, Im saying in most cases it is not done for attention or because you were told no, it's the result of mental disorder or incapability to deal with mental pain otherwise.

[ShaeNielson]

@CafèMachiatto I never said that, I said you should shut your trap if you don't know a first thing about it.

[CoolSky01]

@ShaeNielson you're not even 20 yet and you're arguing with a guy whos at least 28, he has 12 years of experience that you lack, he was born when your parents were still dating he knows his shit, just because you want to feel special doesn't make him responsible , go play with your barbie dolls or whatever girls do

[Opinion Owner]

@ShaeNielson If it was a mental condition it would have existed before 2000 and it wouldn't be like 60% of young females born after 2000 who do it. It's not like some strange parasite came into existence after 2000 which mainly affects female millennials. If you study trends and patterns, it's obvious this is no different than "eating disorders" it's a CHOICE which becomes a mental addiction.
The lack of ability to deal with simple life issues is because of society coddling your generation. Before that kids had just as many issues or more to deal with and were capable of dealing because they were told "No", were made accountable for their actions, and developed coping mechanisms against real world issues.
______________
@CoolSky01 ;) Thanks Bud.

[ShaeNielson]

@CoolSky01 Age doesn't always equal knowledge or wisdom. There are 50 year old racists and homophobes, are they right just because they're older? Worst argument you could come up with.

[ShaeNielson]

Im not gonna argue with someone who does not believe in mental disorders, that shows a lack of common knowledge, understanding, and intelligence that goes beyond normal stupidity.
To you information there have been recorded cases of eating disorders before 2000.

[CoolSky01]

@ShaeNielson you're dumber than i thought... he talks about cutting and you are talking about eating disorders... as i said go play with your barbies you're too young to be talking with people who know what the fuck they are talking about.

[Opinion Owner]

@ShaeNielson At no point have I ever said I don't believe in mental disorders.
Mental disorders are very real and there are many of them. Cutting just isn't one of them.
Your attempt at personal attacks as a means of trying to silence or discredit the truth is a pathetic shaming tactic used by people who don't have anything valid to add to an argument but want it to stop.

No one said eating disorders didn't exist before 2000. I simply mentioned that cutters were the same as girls who start eating disorders not because of mental issues but because they want to fit a social ideal and it later becomes a mental addiction and affliction because they start to see themselves as fat even when they are not. But no one starts an eating disorder simply because of mental issues.

[CafèMachiatto]

@ShaeNielson Yes and your dumbass keeps falling for their fakeass stories. If they die, it's a not a loss to me

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

@CafèMachiatto tbh , nobody cares weather or not you think it's fake. The fact is , it is real. And if you don't believe it is , well then I don't really care. You need to realise that things actually happen.

[CafèMachiatto]

I never worried if nobody cares if I don't think they're real. I am fully aware it happens, but please don't try to pain this picture of some absolute victim. Instead of arguing with me go "help" somebody in need.

[CoolSky01]

is it real? as in does it happen and it exists in the world we live in? yes

Now is it justified or even necessary? absolutly not its done mainly for attention

[ShaeNielson]

@CoolSky01 Maybe try reading the entire thing before letting out all that shit.

[ShaeNielson]

OP: Im sorry have you analyzed every single person suffering from an eating disorder? No, then don't make yourself queen of reality.
I will repeat myself to get the message across: No one slashes their flesh to the bone or half way amputates their toes for attention, and if they do then it's the result of a very serious and very dangerous mental disorder. You point out I use shameless attack tactics, when you basically do the same, maybe not to me personally but to my whole generation which, surprise surprise, includes me, too.
You are right on one thing though, I do want this argument to stop because it's like talking to a door.

[ShaeNielson]

@CafèMachiatto Why are you still here?

[CafèMachiatto]

@ShaeNielson Because I have a right to be. I don't care if you don't like what I have to say, but I don't have any moral obligations to enable someone who self-harms. You think you're doing them a favor, but in reality, your so-called help is not important to them. You say that you feel like you're talking to door, when you're making yourself as a doormat.

[ShaeNielson]

@CafèMachiatto I don't even know what you're on about, or what you think you know.

[CafèMachiatto]

@ShaeNielson I can say the same about you, but I'll let you pretend you're doing something for the better good

[CoolSky01]

@ShaeNielson I get it you're saying that people who cut themselves have some serious emotional pains that makes them do this, yes maybe very few but when it becomes so much and everyone does it and they even post pictures of it everywhere it is therefore done for attention not for any actual real reason, you're defending both the ones who suffer from serious problems and hte ones who're hitcking to fame (if you wanna call it that) cutting is not something people need to do to feel better i felt like shit so many times but never resulted to that, and lots of people dont so when i see a teen who got everything cut themselves i stop feeling sorry for them and start feeling like they're dumb and need to grow up.

Just because you studied some brain things at 10th grade doesn't make you an expert, i suggest you grow up and start seeing the point from an adults point of view, its a harsh place where doing silly things like cutting gets you nowhere, things kids dont understand.

[ShaeNielson]

@CafèMachiatto Still, I don't know what you think Im doing.

[CafèMachiatto]

@ShaeNielson I don't really care to be honest.

[ShaeNielson]

@CoolSky01 Okay you're 4 years older than me calm down.
You do know how absolutely narcissistic it is to think what you personally do or don't do applies to everyone in the entire world, right? If people slice their flesh for attention then, and I repeat myself again, there is something very wrong in their life or their brain. They need help.
If you don't understand mental disorders then don't act like a smartass when it comes to them. I really don't care what happened to you or why you think you're a special snowflake, neither do I care, I just know you need to pipe the fuck down until you gain some knowledge on the subject.
Maybe wait until your teenager kill themselves because you neglected them and told them to grow up.

[ShaeNielson]

@CafèMachiatto Good for you, but I can't really reply if you don't even know what you mean, you see that right?

[CoolSky01]

@ShaeNielson yeah you're right buying your kid an iphone instead of ipad is a valid reason to cut or maybe casue justin bieber is sad its a good reason to cut, look you little fuck google is full of this shit i dont need to be explaining shit to a little girl who can't think outside of her bubble, grow some fucking common sense then come back to argue you're too dumb to be arguing with anyone so stfu and go play with your barbies.

[CafèMachiatto]

@ShaeNielson How condescending. Let me explain this as bluntly as possible. It's all apathy. I don't care for anybody's problems that do not concern me, Not that I'd enable them in self-harm, but if it doesn't directly affect me, I won't meddle.

[ShaeNielson]

@CoolSky01 Yea because that is why most people cut, absolutely.

[ShaeNielson]

@CafèMachiatto That has absolutely nothing to do with me or the thing you think Im doing, but nice job on making sense of yourself.

[CafèMachiatto]

@ShaeNielson Okay, so let's make it all about you then. Why are you so quick to assume that people cut themselves for legitimate reasons? Do you know somebody who's cut? Have you cut?

[ShaeNielson]

@CafèMachiatto You were the one making it all about me and some thing I am apparently doing, which was what I asked for you to explain. You need to figure out what you're posting..
I am quick to assume that because if nothing is wrong people do not slice their flesh. If you harm yourself for attention you need help too, because that is not sane.
I have not cut, but I know people who have.

[CafèMachiatto]

@ShaeNielson Aren't you the one antagonizing people who don't agree with you?

[ShaeNielson]

@CafèMachiatto None more than they are me.

[CafèMachiatto]

@ShaeNielson Okay?

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

@CoolSky01 Well it's not to look cool if nobody knows. I never let anyone see my scars let alone anybody know. It's not to be cool , because peopl who see it think others are freaks thus maki g the less " cooler " so it's got nothing to do with being cool

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

@CafèMachiatto I do help others in need don't you read !😂😭😂😂😂😂 I actually go around and help people who suffer from all this so , before you judge know the facts.

[CafèMachiatto]

I read, I just don't see where the "help" is coming from

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

@CafèMachiatto From me are u serious? I've helped people get out of this

[CafèMachiatto]

I am serious and I'm not saying I don't think you should help someone in need. I'm just saying most of the time they don't want or appreciate the help

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

@CafèMachiatto Most of the time they do. You don't understand this but maybe I can clear it up , people who do this want and appreciated the help , mother just don't know how to ask for it.

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

[Klara-Hitler]

Self harm is natural.

An image inside your mind triggers a chemical in your brain and it triggers an energy that you have to release. In that case, the image is you disliking or hating something about you. Just like when you get angry your body releases adrenaline and you feel numb and more immune to pain, that image directs your energy to an aggression against yourself you feel numb and it's easier in those moments to physically harm yourself. you try to destroy yourself in some way.

Cutting is the most direct way, mostly for people with little to no emotional depth. That is why teenagers mostly do it. People that have more emotional depth destroy themselves in indirect ways that are slower but deadlier in many ways.

This world is the world of depression, not happiness. Happiness won't come to you, you create happiness, you keep yourself happy by keeping your body and mind healthy.

If you self harm, you're being lazy in keeping your body and mind healthy and happy. And no I'm not going to say you're a victim and it's not your fault etc. I've been there, I experienced many of these emotions. My childhood, two years of my adulthood. It's your fault and your fault only. Your unhappiness is your fault. If you think you're trying hard, you're wrong. You aren't trying hard enough until you get happy.

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

This is what I realized a few years back. Thank you !

[CoolSky01]

I should be probably telling you that its alright baby and its all good but no iam not gonna be an asshole and lie to your face, that BS cutting thing is something only kids who seek attention do, it makes you feel good? please enlighten me how does cutting yourself makes you feel good?

You were bullied? you were called ugly? you have big ears? those aren't even issues to begin with thats just something spoiled brats say to look cool, you had asshole parents? how does cutting yourself help you have a better life? it doesn't thats right.
I at some point during highschool was unattractive, fat, lazy, dumb and lacked basic hygine even at some point but i changed i made an effort to look, dress and smell good, and it worked to a great degree in attracting all kinds of people, nothing comes easy in this world you have to bust your ass i dont feel sympathy for those who cut themselves cause they can't "Fit in" dress in nice clothes, be open minded, fun and stop shying away from conversations and it will work out 10 out of 10 times. i have a friend who sits on his ass all day listening to music, he dresses like shit, he smells like shit and he looks like shit and expects the most gorgeous and good girl in the world to fall for him, he doesn't even get out of his house !!! stop dreaming and get real these issues are silly nothing worth hurting yourself about.

This is just something kids do to get attention and look good it is by no means needed.

[Jayded1]

You sir, have no understand of Psychology.

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

@Jayded1 I think it's fine when people reply or post comments like this. Before , I used to think the same. I thought people who harmed themselves were dumb and retarded for hurting themselves like that. It's all a matter of self consciousness and awareness.

[CoolSky01]

@Jayded1 no i dont and in fact i dont really care unless you're mentailly ill i dont see the point in doing this, and by mentally ill i mean you have some serious mental illness that leaves you unable to think, so when i see a fulyl thinking person cutting themselves i dont really find a good reason to do it

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

Because you don't understand it in full depth and that's okay.

[Anonymous]

I still don't understand why people self harm. People say you won't know untill "you hit rock bottom or faced true difficulties" but I have. I have lost people very close to me, I have been bullied, I have numerous health problems that make me feel like there is no point in living, I face stress. Alas, I have yet to hold a blade to my tender skin. I have considered such things but always talk myself out of it and think about all I do have and how others may wish to have even half of what I do. And at my lowest moments when I lack the will to live, a quote comes to mind, "If you're going through hell, keep going" -Winston Churchill.

I suppose it is since people are radically different that people self harm, perhaps they have moments of mental instability or weakness that they cannot control, after all, to what extent are we in control of ourselves? Although I still lack understanding of what it is that drives people to do this, I applaud those who have overcome their battle with self harming, you kept going although you may have stopped along the way 👐.

[Opinion Owner]

One more thing I will say is that you also need to understand others. The gentleman who said "Down the road not across the street. Make it count" does not understand why people self harm as the purpose is similar to suicide, you cannot expect to get pity or praise from people who do not understand at all, you reacted poorly in my opinion.

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

I was not looking for pity or praise. I didn't like the fact that the gentlemen who posted that would say something like that. There are many things I don't understand or I disagree with , I don't go around posting things like that. The fact is , it was rude. Usually that the people who click or read this , have gone through it in the past. The thing is , anyone who has gone through something like that might read it and set off ideas.

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

You are correct and you are a very strong person. Most people who do this , aren't good at dealing with issues and pain. I praise you for being such a strong person!

[Anonymous]

As someone who's currently recovering from self-harm, I'd like to add my perspective to the discussion.
I cut when I felt overwhelmed and useless. I thought that I was a waste of space, a waste of time, and a complete embarrassment. I thought I deserved the pain and it was an outlet for my frustrations. But afterward, I felt guilty beyond belief. I remember talking to a guy I liked, and noticing him glancing at the inside of my wrist -- the spot where my cuts were. I flinched and tried to pretend like I didn't know he saw. After that, I was more careful to always have a jacket or a bracelet with me to hide the cuts. And then they scarred. And now I'm stuck with them. Sometimes even the sight of the scars makes me want to hurt myself again. I feel like maybe I did it because I wanted attention or sympathy, though at the time it happened I'm sure that wasn't why I did it. I hate that I can't get rid of the permanent reminder of what I did.

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

Sorry this happened to you , but we all learn from experiences so make the best of it !

[WombRaider]

I've suffered from pretty horrendous depression yet I've never thought about cutting myself or killing myself. I went to see a counsellor and now I feel better.

I noticed my teacher had dozens of cuts on her arms even though she's teaching and is an adult... which is rather distressing - is she competent enough?

I will never quite understand why people do it, no matter how much you try and explain.

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

"When I was younger ,
I stubbed my toe
My dad told me to bite on my finger
Until I forgot about the toe
By focusing one pain
In one place
To forget about the other "

That's the best I can explain it with.

[CoolSky01]

this has got to be the dumbest reason i have ever heard OP seriously now?

[takumii]

When I am depressed I hit my on my head with a pillow... Yes, I self harm.

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

Lol.

[FOOLibra]

Nice myTake but why would you choose that picture? I am sure people know what cuts look like? Not to mention that it could trigger people who used self-harm.

[JustinTheGreat]

I used to cut from ages 13-16. Looking back at it... it did not help with anything at all. It actually just made things worse. I 100% regret it, and now I have a bunch of ugly scars covering my entire arms. I can't even wear short sleeved shirts anymore.
by the way, You didn't really explain WHY people cut. This really isn't going to help anyone understand anything.

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

When I was younger ,
I stubbed my toe
My dad told me to bite on my finger
Until I forgot about the toe
By focusing one pain
In one place
To forget about the other "

That's the best I can explain it with.

[BelleGirl21]

I cut when I was younger too. For me it was because I just wanted to feel something... anything, even if it was pain. For people who haven't been in that situation I don't think it's something you can explain to them. I also don't think it's something you just get over. I had to recognize the problem and replace it with something healthy. For me it was exercise.

[Bluemax]

Awesome. I am glad you've come this far.

Tell me, what made you stop?

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

I stopped because of my best friend , she came out saying she was transgender. She said if I stopped then she would do I did

[Anonymous]

I used to do this shit as well. I also used to go a couple of days eating little to nothing and would fight a lot. If you're going through this seek professional help fam! I never did and I almost lost!

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

I'm glad to say that I am 18 and instead of wasting my life like most 18 yr olds do , I go to schools and teach teenagers how to deal with stuff like this. I did this when I was 13 for a bout a year and a half , then I stopped and here I am today !

[Opinion Owner]

Onya for beating your demons and helping others.

[Jayded1]

You are very brave. Ignore the ignorant haters. The world is full of them. However the world is also full of good people who understand your struggle and accept it.

[ElissaDido]

I know some teenagers that go through so much more than what the average cutter goes through... Cutting is for the weak and attention seeker.

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

It is for the weak but not for the attention seeker. Some people do it for attention , but those roll up their sleeves for everyone to see. When I did it , it was because I had a weak manta, capacity. I wasn't an attention seeker though , never once did I want anybody to see or anyone to know.

[AGELICATHECONFUSED]

"Again, not looking for sympathy, just for a 13 year old to read this and know if I'm okay now, she will be too."

You have a fucked up mind. Some babies were dropped , you were clearly Tyson at a wall. This wasn't meant for you to place rude comments. Lord knows one day you might feel like complete garbage and just cannot take it anymore. Lord knows what if you have children and you treat them so badly they hurt themselves like this? I don't need your rude comments , weather or not you think it's offensive , it is. If you didn't want to read it , or wanted to poke fun at people who do this , you could have scrolled down and clicked on something else.

hurt egoism, bad parenting, lack of values and purpose. only a very ill, attention seeking person would do it.

the most ill are the parents though if they are responsible
