Self Mutilation

Self-mutilation is a complicated issue that should be discussed with a professional. The simple answer is "no." However, most people use it to distract themselves from unwanted emotions, so in a sense it is true.

A Bachelor's Degree refers to any degree which is a BSc (Bachelor of Science) or BA (Bachelor of Arts) and so on. They are like most common degree level qualifications and often lead into higher qualifications such as MSc (Master of Science) or MA (Master of Arts). The Sc and A parts only refer to the content of the degree. Sc is more founded science and empirical evidence which suggests that its more difficult. A is less founded in science and relies more on theoretical and philosophical frameworks which do not require empirical evidence.

It is usually considered that an Sc is better because of its bases in scientific evidence. This suggests that a person with an Sc would stand a greater chance of getting the job when compared to a person with an A. This isn't always the case though as many qualifications don't offer an Sc and many jobs don't really require a scientific bases (although it may be good to have it).

either way, not a good idea.......

• The first thing you need to realise is that seeking help isn't confrontational. Talking to someone about a problem in your life is no different to asking the teacher how to something in maths. Whether you are atheist or not doesn't mean a lot either.
• Secondly, start finding the positive - make yourself think happy and find the humour in situations.
• Third, get some good sleep. Go to bed early, before you notice the tiredness, and get up when you first wake, not sleeping in. Do some exercise and get out in the fresh air and sun; both of these are general tips, but the amount of good they do for depressed people is always underestimated.
• Lastly, remember that a lot of people get depression - it's just a normal stage in life. Find someone to talk about the problems with, and see if a friend or other person you know can help fix what is causing those problems.

You can only tell if you have seen the cut marks often found on the arms and wrists. They tend to hide it by using long sleeves and accessories that can hide it.

You shouldn't cut any part of your wrist, or anywhere else on your body. If your depressed, then snap your wrist with a rubber band, it hurts like cutting, but leaves no scar behind. It's never a good idea to cut yourself, if somebody were to find out, how do you think they'd react? Not good. Believe me, my best friend had been cutting hisself for years, even after i told it hurt me too, that I'd lost a lot of respect for him, as he said he'd lost all self respect for himself. Finally, he stopped, because he knew how much it hurt the ones who loved him most. Just find someone you love dearly, and tell the truth. Self harm = Bad.

hmm...that's really tough! well you're a guy so i don't know how well my suggestion may work for you but here it goes...if you can get you're hand on some make up (foundation) than use that...try to get one close to or a little lighter thatn your skin color. I really hope that you can do this...if not and someone asks just come up with an accident...

Different methods of self injury work for different people...just dpeneds on what kind of high you are seeking... cutting and the like release endorphins in your brain that make you feel good. The same are produced by working out!

get over the counter scar healers. and massage the area ever day

Addicted? You may not WANT to tell,but you need to. I had a friend like you and she committed suicide by accident. I was you, I told. Talk to someone you trust, the good thing is you want help.

Inside you still feel a bit depressed and when you see these cuts you think about how you felt when you broke up with your boyfriend. Either that or your emo or what you are doing is an addiction and you need to stop right away!¡!¡!¡!¡

You will not die if you cut your wrist unless it is very deep. I went to hospital two weeks ago for cutting too deep and missed my artery by less than a centermeter. I do not recommend that you cut your wrists as they leave beasty scars, but i do enjoy looking at my scars.

You may cut for many reasons but you have to think about the long term possibility that your life will never be the same. I have lost dear friends, i walk on egg shells with my family. I was in hospital 5 days waiting for a phychiatrist and now i have to see her all the time. I'm being put into a self esteem group and i take anti depressants.

Baring in mind, I'm fourteen. So, think before you do this. It's with you for life and becomes addictive.

i do not know if there is any website.. i feel the best thing to do is to talk with someone .. i know you do not feel like talking but it is the best thing to do..

if you would like it you can always leave a message on my message board..

ill be glad to help..

..

ya probably with a butchers knife or sum sisers

There is no specific type of schizophrenia that is associated with self-harm. Self-harm in schizophrenia is generally associated with delusions. For example, a patient with schizophrenia may believe that if he or she cuts off a finger then the world will be saved. Because self-harm in schizophrenia is associated with delusions, patients with paranoid schizophrenia or undifferentiated schizophrenia may be more likely to self-harm than patients with other types of schizophrenia.

Yes you can, you might have noticed that there are a lot of veins on your arm, so if you do cut your arm, be careful because you might cut on of the veins or arteries, and you can bleed to death. But it is better if you don't cut yourself at all because what ever reason your doing that for, must be something like how you hate your life, so please appreciate what god gave you and stop thinking of it as a bad way :), everything that happens, has a reason.

Thankss x

Most people start in their early teens. Older people have usually found different ways to discharge the fear and anxiety that are the basis of cutting.

In some ways yes. They can also take the person to the hospital and be on a 72 hour hold

No, as far as I'm concerned - and millions of health care professionals! - it is not illegal. And i cannot understand the previous contributor's answer?!

If it were illegal, people would be reffered to the authorities, not offered help!!!

He wanted to be remembered as well-bread.

Define "suture." Is it being used in a medical sense or in a 'body-mutilation ' sense?

One might be an emergency medical procedure, whereas the other might bring into question ones state-of-mind and/or mental status which conceivably MIGHT somehow involve law enforcement and possibly 'emergency commitment for observation' procedures.

get a bandaid and put it on

To accidentally do something is when something happens by mistake.

well... it would if you pick at the scabs. i suggest getting some bio oil. put it on 2 a day morning and night. and maybe you sould see your doctor...

hope i helped

It mostly means they have feelings without adequate understanding of the cause of those feelings or what to do to acknowledge, feel, and respond in an appropriate way to them. They need help to learn how to accept themselves and their feelings and to be taught coping mechanisms to use to safely respond to those. It is an action of desperation that can become habitual obsessive and compulsive behavior. It is an empty solution to give temporary sensations of release through the ritual of their inappropriate response. They are usually smart people who can learn new responses with the right help of the right people.

Although, there is an entirely different meaning for a person being called a cutter. In Indiana at Indiana University in Bloomington, "townies" are called "cutters". The reason is that the area has a long history of limestone quarrying. Locals are referred to as cutters (as in rock cutters). This originally was a put down indicating a snobbishness about blue collar workers by some in academia. It is now more accepted by those in Bloomington who have pride in the history of the area.
