Cutting / Bruising / Hurting yourself when Depressed

[angelmorn]

No i do not cut myself up when depressed. I listen to songs. They are more helpful !

But yes, there are some people out there who when depressed think hurting oneself in any manner is suppose to "ease" the pain in some way.
In recent times, its grown into a trend. [ a extremely STUPID trend ]

so go on , have your say !
Is it of any help, when in depression, to hurt oneself ?

a friend of mine said he felt better by cutting himself on the wrists after he broke up with his girlfriend.Pretty idiotic,and idiotic too to be so emotionally attached to someone at this stage of life.

A lot of people, adults as well as teenagers go through this. I guess it's a psychological thing. Like when people take drugs to numb their feelings and to take their mind off certain things. Kinda like a coping strategy. It's a very, very serious issue yet most people fail to acknowledge the seriousness of it. They just think people who do it are wannabes and/or doing it for attention. It's not always the case but since people fail to understand this fact, they start making fun of them or come up with rude, ignorant remarks.

I won't mind sharing that I have gone through this myself. And for someone who has gone through it and back I can most certainly say that not everyone who does it, does it to gain attention or are wannabes. Until now, no one really knew about it. I don't exactly know why I did it. Most probably becaus at that time it was my best coping strategy. I was young and far less wise than I am today. So maybe I thought that hurting myself somehow would..I dont know, get rid off the pain I felt otherwise? Ofcourse it wasn't logical nor was it mature. Most certainly, it wasn't right.

I wasn't planning on setting myself up in flames but I still bear a thin, faded burn mark on my right wrist as a memento. Everytime I look at it I realize that people should not turn to hurting themselves or to drugs and alcohol to deal with certain things. That these are not the remedies we sometimes think they are. They don't help a situation in any way! I guess when we forget this, that is when we are prone to causing ourselves more pain than any other time. That it's totally worthless to harm yourself for anyone or anything else. A person is worth so much more than all that. Am glad I realized it quickly unlike so many who are still struggling.

pretty idiotic thinking as well as psychic to cut or hurt oneself during depression.
these type of people fear to face reality. i should say coward rather....

when i feel depressed i try to relax and try to find out the reason of depression, take a deep breath and close my eyes to overcome all depression !

it really works for me !

I had a friend who cut her wrist as well. I dont understand it. I mean, its one thing to be depressed or upset, to lock yourself away from the world or to feel like dying, but to really cut yourself NO WAY

There are people out there struggling for survival, dying of starvation, having their organs cut out by others without their permission. And people in countries of affluence are INTENTIONALLY slitting their wrists?? FOR WHAT?? Does it solve anything, carry away the pain? Does the world erupt with peace and radiance BECAUSE ONE PERSON DUG A BLADE INTO THEIR FLESH?? Hell no! Maybe they arent asking for attention, maybe they do it in the privacy of their bedroom, with the curtains shut. BUT THAT DOESNT MAKE IT OKAY!

If someone is abused, homeless, shunned etc and therefore depressed, i feel their pain. The only way to solve that is to do something worthwhile with your life. I know that's difficult, but trying makes one feel more accomplished than doing nothing. And for those with none of these problems, wats their excuse for self-affliction? There will never be a nirvana, no ultimate realm where nothing but comfort and love exists. But the world aint so bad either So they just have to consider themself lucky and deal with it!

And that's what i think. Change my mind if you can, but for the moment, Im quite resolved.
