Self Harm...anybody??

[Ms-Bored]

Salam peeps Okay, regaurding my recent behaviour, i thought i might open this thread - on Self harm, or self mutilation!

i used to kind of cut myself with the blade when i was younger started about the age of 16 and i have never been suicidal its just that i liked cutting myself on my arm near my wrists its all scared now with a silvery lines not that visible it used to make me feel good... i stoped doing it years ago, but because i was having a really bad episode the other day i used it again... i used to do it in private so i wasnt seeking attention from anyone.

i call it Mr Blade and it was my comfort! i loved seeing my blood flow and wondering if i cut into a deep major vein... i think it used to divert my anger - feeling the pain i inflicted upon myself.... the next day the pain used to go away so therfore it was a waste of time!!!

i just want to know if anyone does that (if there are as extreme in cutting) or if anyone does other things to comfort urself when ur down in the dumps!?

BTW- is it haram?? i mean im not trying to kill myself only cutting myself, i guess it is haram!

Nope never done that myself but have a mate who cut himself real badly once when he was madly in love with this girl. As he later told me, I wanted to stop the pain I was feeling in my heart...

Think Bongiman has done it too...

If you are down and low...try finding some peace of mind through prayers instead of harming yourself even more. You might temporarily divert your attention to the fysical pain you are feeling, but the emotional and psychological stress that you are under will still remain once the blood dries up...

Allah gave you this life and body as a gift, hence it is your duty to take care of it as best you can. Harming it won't make things better.

Just my opinion.

Ive never felt so bad about anything before that ive felt the need to harm myself.... but then ive always taken the disasters in my life on the chin.... just forgetting about them and moving on works for me. perhaps ive led a sheltered life?

lol.... u went ahead and cut yourself,.

(not that its funny or anyfin...!)


i remember back in school there was dis guy, use to get bullied,

then one day he came in to school with a marker pen, and sat there in maths (used to sit opposite me), he drew a dashed line across his wrist and wrote the words cut here across it....

i burst out laughing, drawing the whole classes attention towrds me, and uncontrollably passed a remark about how stupid he was to have needed instructions on how to kill himself.........

it was well funny at the time.

i got kicked out of lesson, for being so insensitive. that was just an added bonus.

(just for the record... the kid didnt cut his wrist, he just felt like a pr!ck)

sounds like he was attention seeking in the first place, or just very stupid!
