Topic: Would you feel comfortable | |
---|---|
dating someone who has scars on their wrists from a suicide attempt fairly recently (within 6 months)? just to point out, a lot of people self harm, for relief of there mental pain. seeing the blood dripping out takes your problems away, it takes your problems away maybe for a few days, and then you do it again, its a vicious circle. most people who cut ARNT trying to kill themself, its just there way of coping. i know this, im sure you get my point without me going into great detail about my life. Cutting yourself isn't always an attempt at suicide.It is also a release from problems you have.Some see it as better to do it to myself than to someone else.So ye i would be comfortable dating someone who has scars from doin it.Why?Cause in my younger days i did it and still carry some of the scars and know what it's about and how to deal with it ken, what you just said, is exactly how i feel and what i would say. you know about me, and i totally understand what your saying. i wish people knew just because your cutting, it DOESNT MEAN YOUR TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF. |

I would have to honestly assess a few things 1. Was the suicide attempt some ridiculous ploy at manipulation and attention seeking 2. were they working some sort of program to get better 3. Was this a constant battle they fought within Honestly I would feel sorry for the tortured soul but I have a daughter to think of and do I want that drama up in my life?? The answer would prob be no , I don't know too many wrist cutters that seriously wanted to die .. hi, just to point out. most people who cut ARE NOT trying to kill themself, they are doing it as a way of coping, and its a form of relief, seeing the blood dripping coming OUT your body, also takes your problems OUT your body, but only for a certain amount of time. some a few days, others a few weeks. totally dpends on the person. |
