a debate

i would like to say that i really do enjoy this community abstract_words - i'm just very fucking angry at this one particular debate because it affects me very deeply and personally.. and if i had been in my right mind.. i could have sited many examples for the members to look at - but it is NOT my responsibility to teach

that guys a stupid little bitch. i almost replied myself, but i think it's best i don't get involved (heh for my own sanity, i get very pissy sometimes) but here are my thoughts on the subject:

cutting is a surface symptom of a much deeper disease. yes, disease. it's something that is wrong with you, be it a trauma or chemical or what. now you have all these feelings, all this pain and hurt and anger. and you have choices. you can take it out on someone else, but you love other people and don't want to hurt them. so you take it out on yourself. once again, choices. do you get drunk at some party pass out and risk rape, drive home and risk death? you don't really want to die, you just need to get all this stuff out. so you can do drugs, you can get so addicted and fucked up that you can't even remember the problem, just feel the pain. there are a million ways to self-destruct. some people choose to cut. it's your body, it's your control, it's your anger, it belongs to you. and then you start to love it. the pain, the beauty...and god you can't leave it. it's more a part of you than you are. ... change is hard. it takes time, effort and even more pain. people can't just 'snap out of it', anymore than a diabetic can just get better. it's a downward spiral to nothing, which is a bitch to counteract. but it can be done, and let me tell you i'm living proof. a 'fad'? the whole time i was cutting i was worried that what i was doing was too 'trendy'. if it's not cutting it's something else. self-destruction is an emotional mental illness, anyone who seriously harms themselves needs help. if you can't understand that then you lack introspection and the ability to empathize.

ok sorry for the rant. ;b you can post it if you want.
xoxoxo loves

good luck.
