  Your opinion about Self Injury

  by yumbby in

  as a life long self injurer i belong to a couple self help type groups.

  one issue that keeps coming up over and over is everyone's dismay over peoples attitude toward them when they are discovered.

  i try to help the young ones ignore peoples ignorant remarks but its difficult.

  I started self harming when i was about 5 or 6. I can rembering using en holders to scratch the skin of my thighs under my dress and on my arms because I was just so bored until i bled during those long meetings we I had to sit still and be silent. It was a release and a distractioin from the boredom and frustration.

  I started doing it seriously when I was 20. I hate the scars it leaves on my arms, legs, torso and even worse the disgust and horror that leaps to the eyes of people who see it. My last boyfriend said it just repelled him. The after effects of doing it are utter shame, but at the time I just can't see past how good it will feel to escape the mental torture. When I take the razor to my skin and watch the blood its hypnotic, it stops me thinking of anything else and this will sound insane but it looks beautiful to me at the time.

  Of course afterwards, it looks vile as the cuts slowly heal and I have to spend hours sanding them and massaging oil in to try and lessen the starkness of the scars.

  For the sake of fair play

  i have this problem.

  i think that justice and right and wrong are universal concepts that every man of every faith can embrace - to bastardize a line from the boondock saints.

  perhaps this is jw in origin, this expecting everyone to play from the same deck with no jokers and no wild cards.

  lol at IPSEC.

  It seems so petty that you cant quite believe it's happening! It's only the utter repeated negative energy it carries that seems to make you feel it's deliberate!

  If you cant feel positive by ignoring it simply say that you noticed this person mentioned this many times already and wondered if they'd like to explain why that is because your past understanding why?

  Good advice R Crusoe.

  CHL I think a meal would be in order, I'd be pissed off if someone appeared to be gloating over their good fortune in knowing me but not prepared to acknowledge it.

  White vs Black vs Grey (Gray)

  when i was a young man everything was black and white, good and evil, you see?

  but then i grew to find that there was only grey" ~ anonymous character.

  in the days of dogmatic reasoning i knew that i had the truth.

  Here is my question, spawned by a conversation with a new mother: Is it better to raise children in absolutes or is it better to raise them to ask questions?

  Any parent who sets themself up as the ideal standard of what is right or wrong and being the all-answers-emporium is misleading their offspring.

  We are all several shades of ghost grey/gray. We carry, whether we wish to or not, the spectres of our upbringing. We can choose to colour them in or remain oblivious and pass on that choice to our children.

  To be able to see the whole spectrum of black to white is a gift we learn, if we are lucky and make the effort, as we grow, and one we certainly should pass on to our children.

  The truth is no one is completely right nor completely wrong. I have yet to meet anyone entirely evil or entirely good. That's a constant disappointment, but it is reality. And that can be a bleak view or it can be a rainbow resplendent one depending on whether you look for the corpse or you look the pot of gold in that dimension. I say check out the corpse, sniff it - if it scents rotten, then it probably is. If the shiney stuff stands up to a bit of rubbing, then it is probably gold, retain it.

  But I always keep the door open for I could be completely wrong.

  And therein ends my sermon on the mount.

  For now. I may have more shiney stuff or a couple of corpses.

  the hopefuls to represent the uk are warbling on the bbc.

  disconcerting but amusing to see the audience bastardise the jerry springer call for wogan and now it's terry terry terry.. if we were going to win on attractive luridly dressed girls we're in with a chance - although more cleavage and ass i say.. the second band the revelations are good, but not quite the grand climax i was hoping for.. .

  DO YOU REALLY WANT TO WIN? Here they make fun of the contest it's like American idol!!

  i just want it to come somewhere local so i can go to the show. but i enjoy it purely because of the campness of it all and terry wogan's commentary. when terry wogan stops doing the commentaries i will stop watching the show.

  Bet all the American, Australian, South African, etc, members are thinking, "I thought that the Brits were European?"

  I think you made my point very well indeed!

  I think that the question should be "why should you care?".

  Apart from "miss world" maybe, it has to be the saddest competition there is.

  Do we dare ask what "grand climax" you are hoping for..???

  mr majestic, tsk tsk. I care because it has been a tradition for me longer than birthdays and christmases. But i also care because I intend to abandon Europe for South America before I reach 40 and i would really like to have Britian host it before I depart for other worlds. I shall have a tribute climax if we ever get to produce something that wins over the rest of Europe, who appear to hate the sails off the good ship Brit-Hop, steered firmly by El Capitain Paris. Why do Europeans hate Brits? (or is my answer in how I phrased the question???)
