gone_ Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Self harm, self injury, self mutilation, etc. - Call it what you want. We all know the topic. What is your opinion about it? Do you have friends or family members who are/were 'addicted' to it? If yes, what is current result? I don't want you guys to put your own problems here, unless you really feel the urge to open a discussion about it or to seek for help from the bp.tf-troll-community. Your decision, I don't force anybody to anything. "Trigger alert" for those who obviously don't want to be triggered by such threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gone_ Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Your talking about Masochism. There is a word for it you know. I live in germany, you know. And like erryday german shit, our definition for it is "Selbstverletzendes Verhalten" which directly translates into "Self-Injurious Behavior". It's Google approved, so that's it. I'm not specific about any clarified disorders like masochism, just about the act (or process). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencedotmid Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 This hardly seems like an arguable issue. Don't self harm, don't encourage self-harming, and if you've got a friend who self-harms, you gotta tell someone like a school health advisory. I'm aware I sound like a Sonic Sez PSA, but that's really the gist of it. I had a brief self-harming period around late 2013. I luckily got out of it without anyone needing to intervene. From my experience, self-harm is a side-effect of things like depression, not an entire disorder within itself. If you somehow manage to alleviate your depression, any urge to self-harm goes away.

Mikusch Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 When I'm very very very angry I have 3 solutions: Hurt myself Hurt someone else Destroy everything around Since I don't like cleaning up the mess after destroying all my stuff and since I don't want to hurt anyone else, I hurt myself. I don't do it to the point of serious injuries though, that's something I find insane myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Python. Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 i just hate people who flash their cut wrists for attention I guess an argument can be made at this point. What makes you think it's for attention? Maybe they want help, or want to find a reason to stop. Maybe a few do this, but I hate it when people assume the majority of something like this can be solely based on the actions of few. If you're implying they do it for attention, read Mikusch's post. It's actually kind of logical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are better ways to seek help, and if you really need the help you'll find it without social media outside of specific pages dedicated to things like that.

LFT Euphoric Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 If you want pain relief, you go UP the vain, not across. If people want to spend all of their money on Dora band-aids to put over their skin, then that's what they want. It's not good or healthy, but people do it because they can.

You don't seem to be thinking about the issue as you don't admit that there are also men who self-harm. Either remove yourself or you'll be removed. The GB is a more appropriate place for you.

I don't do it to the point of serious injuries though, that's something I find insane myself. I actually get exactly this situation a lot (I get very angry very easily); I tend to punch myself in the head with both fists so I can feel my skull. After that I calm down. Anyway, on topic. I really don't understand it. You put yourself in severe pain then have to clean up all the blood. What's the point? As a general summary: If you do it because of depression, there are other ways of helping yourself which you should really be doing instead. If you do it for attention, you deserve to die from bleeding out from your wrists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
