Is cutting yourself ok during depression?

[DreadLord]

Cutting yourself does temporarily relieve stress. It's kinda like masturbating, it helps get your mind off your pain, but when you're done you remember how pathetic your life really is.

Lol this guy compared cutting your wrists to masturbating. You win at life. And I suppose hanging yourself can be compared to oral sex?

Not all people cut themselves because of depression: quite a few people I know do it out of boredom.

And those people I would call an idiot.

now, he didn't say cutting the wrists, he might have been thinking along the lines of cutting his finger a bit or his arteries with a rusty sword.

Thank you for making my day....

I know someone very close to me who does this, and I just can't figure out why... I can't figure out what to say or do, but i just wish i could understand it... I just don't get it. I have a shitty depressing life, and I don't do it lol

Lack of coping skills maybe? It is a mental health issue, so they would be hard to emphasize with unless you do it yourself. Even then its probably completely different experiances and reasons.

Some people do it for attention, some people do it as a sort of tattoo, or means of self-expression. Guess they can be lumped together really, and with the people who do it out of sheer boredom.

Most cutters I've met are attention whores. These same people often like to shoot their mouth off about how tough their life is, dodging bullets every day in their rich house down in Iowa.

Honestly, if you want to cut yourself, do it with a chainsaw and spare us all the drama. Remember to blast your Linkin Park loud enough to drown out the motor sounds.

No. If you do it, then you are a dumbass.

Is that so? Time for a marketing scheme!
COMMERCIAL : (Announcer = A, Kids = K)
A : "Hey kids! Why aren't you doing anything?"
K : (Simultaenously) "We're boooored."
A : "Why be bored when you can be cutting yourself?!"
A : "Just take a sharp kitchen knife and start cutting! It's fun hours on end!"
K : (Kids cutting themselves) "Yeeey!!!"
Kid 1 : "I slashed my wrist (blood spraying all over his face)!"
Kid 2 : "Ouch, I hurt myself with this rusty knife. Isn't there a knife kit?"
A : "Well, now there is! Presenting the Oh-My-God-I'm-Depressed Knife Kit is now available for only 29.99$!"
A : "It's got 12 different knives, each unique in size and shape!"
A : "Surprise your friends with a CD-shaped knife!"
A : "Have your mom and dad join in the fun! The possibilities are endless!"
A : (Really fast voice) "The Oh-My-God-I'm-Depressed company does not take responsibility for inflicted wounds. When returning knives Terms Of Agreement must be met."
