Let's just start off with something that may sound selfish to you guys. I bet everyone of you don't have a harder life then I do. At least you all can go out, drive, go to college, get a job, and actually have a life. I can't even step out on the porch without someone with me. Why you ask? Because of all the medical conditions I have. I can't even walk to the store alone because the last time I did, I had a seizure in the middle of a busy street. I DO want to actually get a job and work but I can't. Yes, I am on medications for my seizures but they don't work. I can't even see a neurologist to fix it because I don't have a car. I walk everywhere I go. Lets just get to the point here, when ANY of you want to cut yourself or you're feeling suicidal, PLEASE sit down and think about others. Think about what they're going through. I, myself, have before in my life. I was 11 when I started I stopped when I was 14 because I realized I don't have it as hard as others but since then I've been through a lot but I NEVER cut myself these past 5 almost 6 years. I know I'm probably wasting my time saying this but at least I had the heart to post this. I love you guys even though I don't know half of you. So just please, give it a second thought.

I started cutting myself when I got into highschool. The kids were rude and I didn't fit in anywhere. And then things started happening at home and I felt alone. Everywhere I went people resented me. My fiancée is the reason I quit cause even though my mom or brother was there it wasn't the comfort I needed. Yea my reasons were probably selfish but I didn't cut for attention cause my mom didn't know I cut until I didn't cut myself anymore. I cut cause I'd rather be physically hurting than mentally and it took the pain away for a little while.

I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time, and I understand you have good intentions here. But I don't really think anyone has the right to compare and judge how a person copes. It's not that simple or easy.

Sorry about your misfortune so many times i have tried touching basis with you but i feel that there is something about me that you just don't like and i wish i knew cause i really do care about the feelings and misfortune of others.

Ugh, it's really better to be humble when you're disabled. and/or have serious medical conditions.

This doesn't factor into any of my decisions at home,
especially if my mind is in a state like broconut is describing

My ma would be the only person i'd really think about honestly

i never thought bout anyone else whenever i cut. this kinda makes me think some.

I don't see how feeling sorry for someone else is going to achieve anything. "Think of the other people that have it harder than you." What do they have anything to do with what you're going through? I could say that I'm living a hard life and a stranger could tell me that they're living a harder life than I am but I'm going to give zero fucks because I'd be in that mindset where I'm just hurting and I need a release and cutting, for example, will always bring me in regardless of all the sorry I feel for others. That's the beauty of mental disease.

My sister's boyfriend has seizures like all the time. He's on medication for it too but sometimes he'll still have seizures. And it's really fucking scary witnessing someone going through a seizure. I don't freak out in situations like that but I thought it was all very interesting. He didn't remember my sister or myself after he came out of the seizure. He didn't even know his own name or anything. Crazyyyyyyyyyyy.  

But yeah this isn't going to get people to change their behavior. People aren't going to think, "Oh because she sounds like she lives a harder life than I then maybe I should stop what I'm doing to myself." Self-destructive behavior isn't cured like that. Some people are so deep into their mental disorder that they actually rely on cutting (or whatever else they do that's destructive to themselves) to give them relief from their problems. I know you mean well and I know you care, but something like this isn't easily curable.


actually, i kinda agree w/ this...
