Self Injury

Self-injury is deliberate harm, without suicidal intent, upon one's body to cope with emotional distress. It is more common than most people think. It should not be an issue left in the dark. It should be put in public awareness. Somehow it is "shameful" to talk about, but I think it is shameful to be left ignored and in the dark. They say, "Ignorance is bliss." I guess it's true. But would you want to ignore a tornado coming at you? Let's not ignore the things that are hurting us, slowly sucking the life out of us. Now, I many lose some friends for posting this video up, but I don't care. I mean, what difference does it make whether or not I have 1 friend on youtube or 1,000. Most people categorize people who cut themselves as "emos." But why? I mean what good does it do to judge? Love is so much stronger than hate. We must love everyone, or we will die in our own hatred.
What not to say to a self-injurer: How does it make you feel better? It doesn't make any sense. Why do you do it? Just quit it. I could never do that. I hate it when I cut myself shaving. Thats just gross. Yeah, the list goes on and on. Just be careful about what you say. There is lots of talk about cutting being a "fad." And I don't know what to think about that. Well, I think that teenagers experiment with cutting since their friends are, and before they know it, they are addicted to it. It's just like anorexia or washing your hands constantly. It's an extremely addictive behavior. Therapists call cutting the "new anorexia." Please, don't even try cutting once. At the end when it says, "By His stripes you are healed," it means that by Jesus's scars and slashings you are saved. You are HEALED by His own pain, not your own. He took the punishment for you. You don't have to hurt yourself. He has so much in store for you. He loves you so much you can not even comprehend it. I was going to make a whole Christian viewpoint to this video, but I don't want to shove religion down anyone's throat. It your own decision. I can not make it for you. Just know that God has so many plans for your life. Cutting is not one of them. You are so much more special than that. God bless you guys! Feel free to message me with any questions! 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. What to watch for: being overly modest ( i.e. always wearing long pants and shirts, never wanting to go swimming, or refusing to change in front of people ) Please call if you struggle with cutting: 1-800-DONTCUT Check out these websites: http://www.twloha.com/index.php http://www.selfinjury.com/ http://self-injury.net/ http://healingselfinjury.org/ http://www.selfharm.org.uk/default... http://www.mirror-mirror.org/selfi... http://crystal.palace.net/~llama/self... I'm not a stranger No I am yours With crippled anger And tears that still drip sore A fragile flame aged Is misery And when our hearts meet I know you see I do not want to be afraid I do not want to die inside just to breathe in I'm tired of feeling so numb Relief exists I find it when I am cut I may seem crazy Or painfully shy And these scars wouldn't be so hidden If you would just look me in the eye I feel alone here and cold here Though I don't want to die But the only anesthetic that makes me feel anything kills inside I do not want to be afraid I do not want to die inside just to breathe in I'm tired of feeling so numb Relief exists I find it when I am cut Pain I am not alone I am not alone I'm not a stranger No I am yours With crippled anger And tears that still drip sore But I do not want to be afraid I do not want to die inside just to breathe in I'm tired of feeling so numb Relief exists I found it when I was cut http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAo... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwm...

You are right that SI is diliberate. As diliberate as an alcoholic choosing to drink.....In the end there is a choice being made.
One question though as I am not religious (anymore, never really was)....If we are saved from pain.....why do still suffer? I think you meant well.....but this stuff doean't go over wel at a site like this. The 1 800 number could be helpful though.

How can you say It isn't diliberate, hissuicide angel? You pick up the blade. It doesn't come to you......Its part of the the cycle.....Cutting can become addictive.....but as any addiction....there is a choice being made. Not a healthy one....but still a choice. To say we don't have a choice in it, to me is not takind respsonsibility of all parts of our depression. Just like any other illness....or addictions, we have take accountability and responsibility.
I know sometimes the lines can get blurred...but like I said, WE pick up the blade.....we know the result we want from the cutting....relief....

I should say, that is why we made the choice to cut....for the relief we get from cutting.

but everytime you cut....you know there will be a scar....but yet you con't to cut.....it like anything....there is a pay off that is greater then the scars you'll get.
The pay off being the instant but temporary relief we get from cutting.....

somehow this just still pisses me off and where yes one does decide to do whatever one does as with any actions both good and bad there is often a lot more to it than a "just dont do it" attitude can change. and why list all of the things not to say and then say them in your little speech. whatever everyone has their opinion.
