dpressedone89 Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 well ive come to a conclusion that people are either really sheltered or really stupid. i was in class today, no doubt i was bleeding because i had a safety pin and free time, i did it at lunch, i did between every class, i did it in world history, and i did it in front of the councelor, then im sitting in english, blood running down my arm onto my desk,not much but enough that it was noticeable not one person said anything about it. are these people ignorant?i grab a safety pin go to the bathroom and come back bleeding and they cant put 2 and 2 together to see i was too upset to focus! why does no one understand Self Injury except my one good friend who by the way i am very proud of 90 days no cutting, and she was just like "well if itsd what makes you happy then do it"i just needed to be left alone, bottom line, What can i do at school when im feeling overstressed?

Duderanomi Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 You realize you're doing it just so that people notice and go "Oh my god what did you do? Let's get you some help." There's no other way to explain cutting and then being upset that no one made a fuss over it. Link to comment
under_the_pressure Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Okay, first...I have a question same as the last one. Were you making yourself bleed just so people will notice, a cry for attention?? under Link to comment
i_hate_the_world47 Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Well,i think you should stop this.It seems to me,though i will not jump to any conclusions,that your doing this for attention.This scares me.PLease try and talk to me when i am on aim.We need to definitely tlk. ~Meagan~ Link to comment
Pippin Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 This reply is turned to i_hate_the_world47,Duderanomi, and under_the_pressure. Do you even know why a person does it? Do you? I don't think you have the right to make assumptions about it. Most people don't do it for attention. If you stand up on a table and make sure you have the attention of everyone in the room and then do it then it's for attention. Link to comment
under_the_pressure Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Yes, I do know why people do it. Everyone has their own reasons, of course. Because I, myself used to do it. I just want to know why he cares if anyone noticed or not if it's not a cry for attention. under Link to comment
dpressedone89 Posted September 9, 2004 Author Share Posted September 9, 2004 i dont care. i was just curious, you'd think if i was dripping blood and it was puddling on my desk someone would atleast notice, and i really dont appreciate everyone saying its for attention because its not, you guys obviously dont understand except for pippin and harcore, thank you both. -stitches Link to comment
helpme02 Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 in my opinion...dpressedone89 shouldn't get mad. we all know what its like and we dont wanna hurt you by any means. i understand that you dont want peoples opinion to be that you are just seeking attention but in your post it just kind of sounded like that. none of us should jump to conclusions about anything but thats why in the relplies people asked if you were doing it for attention. we care about you and the last thing we want is for you to hurt even more.

under_the_pressure Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 You know I've been there too, I was just wondering if it was a way of wanting attention. Yes, people are pretty ignorant if they see blood puddling around you and they don't say anything. That's just flippin' retarted...I hope you get better. You know I'm always here to talk. I'm apologize about what I said about it being a cry for attention, I was just wondering. always, under* Link to comment
i_hate_the_world47 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Pippin, Yes i do know why people do it.I myself do it.I was simply asking a qwuestion.Niether you nor dpressedone89 havea rightto get mad at me or anyone else.We are trying to figure out the situation thereforeeee we can help. ~meagan~ Link to comment
dpressedone89 Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 ok , i_hate_the_world_47 , its not your place to say that pippen and i cant be upset over the replies. your reply had nothing to do with my question and also indicated that you thought i was cutting for attention and all pippen did was stand up for her friend, neither her or i were 'mad'. but yes we do have the right to be upset when you make the assumption that it is for attention and make your oppinion known while ignoring the question i asked being what can i do when i get upset at school besides cut? and under, dont even worry about it i still luv ya and dont be sorry, so if anyone can answer my question it would be lovely Link to comment
lilsuthurncutie Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 depressedone89.. i dont think i_hate_the_world47 was making an assumption.. she was just trying to figure out the situation before she jumped in and tryed to help you.. so there really isn't a need for you or pippen to get upset.. she is hear to help not make you mad!

i_hate_the_world47 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 thanx lilsuthurncutie,finally someone understand my opinion. ~Meagan~ Link to comment
Nyere Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 ^_^ when you see this thread from an outside point of view it's kinda sweet ... you're all just standing up for eachother ... Anyway ... yeah, I know what your talking about, and it is ridiculous. I've played with knives and pins and stuff before in school, when I was in that mood where your just so depressed you don't care if people know ... and looking back, I realize it would have been seen as a girl sitting in a corner with blood on her hands for anyone who looked. But they didn't. Then again, perhaps they did notice, and felt it wasn't their place to intervene. As for wat else you can do, short of cutting ... I take a hairband and snap the metal part against my wrist, that can sometimes help. Link to comment
under_the_pressure Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I've heard that taking a hairband and snapping it helps. My counselor told me to do that, but I just quit altogether. under* Link to comment
