Falling over stuff? Drink more coffee...or do you drink to much?
Anyways...why do people "self-destruct"? There really is no single reason to this. -One reason is because they cannot deal with, or can feel, pain. Therefore, they cut themselves to feel like they are in control of pain, able to feel it and deal with it. They act as though they are the master of pain. -Another reason is that they simpily do not understand pain, and cut themselves to "learn more" about the feeling and anguish of pain. -A third reason is that people may have alot of anger in their life, and they turn that anger into pain, by cutting. -A fourth possible reason, and the one that i think is most often, is to try to draw attention to themselves. Perhaps they think that they aren't "cool" or anything, and are desperate for some people to notice them. Therefore, they cut themselves, and try to get attention.
Hmm, I've never actually heard of this, I think it means the destruction or ruination of oneself or one's life, but I don't think people are cutting themselves because they feel down and empty inside.
people just get stressed out so they turn to cutting themselves. "emo" is what people who stop caring go for which personally I think is not the way to solve your problems.
1.the term "emo" is used for people who are chronically depressed, and don't know how to relieve themselves of this depression. I don't know how the whole cutting and body mutilation thing started, but it is actually a emotional disorder that is diagnosable. I don't necessarily agree with people cutting themselves, doing drugs among other things, but there is help for these people.
2. There is also a culture known as the "emo" culture. Emo (pronounced /ËiËmoÊ/) is a style of hardcore punk which describes several variations of music with common roots. In the mid-1980s, the term emo described a subgenre of hardcore punk which originated in the Washington, D.C. music scene.(source; Wikipedia.org). I have a lot of friends that are in the popular culture, but it has drawn out into a mass hysteria almost as bad as the red scare. I wear black alot so that labels me as "emo", when I just like black.
No, I don't think hurting yourself is something to do when you're mad, there should be other things you can do that doesn't involve hurting , or killing.
rocketsrule, a few others in this topic, I feel, are not thinking about personal rights. There are some folks out there that cut to release emotion. I might go out and run to release my anger, while Johnny over here wants to cut himself a little. Either way, he isn't causing harm to his body. Read Devoidless' testimony, it is really informative.
FireTail, I am afraid that the strangulation is very dangerous. This is not harmless release of emotion. You will die by doing that. I am not a doctor, but I suggest that you seek some counseling for that.
It is not exactly like Anorexia or bulimia. Emotional cutting cannot have the same pathology in my opinion. For example, let's say Sally has anorexia. Which is going to be comorbid with depression and maybe body dysmorphia.
Emotional cutting, not related. I don't think that CBT is the right answer here. I think awareness and direction on how to release emotion in a "healthier" way would be better.
