Hey, so I’m a writer. What I write usually amounts to nothing; I’m usually about the only one who reads it. But I’m determined to write something that will help a lot of people and I’m currently working on a million different ones. But I decided to work mainly on one, so that I could finish that one. I chose to write about SI, because I hear so much about it, mostly negative things, and since I SI and know some of the truth to it; I wanted to clear it up a little. So I was hoping that I may get some feed back from people on here about why they SI and what it means to them. Because I know what everyone says isn’t true. So if you don’t mind, just tell me about why you SI. I’d love to hear as much back as possible. Thanks in advance!
Hi
I too am a writer. I actually have a story that I wrote about self- injury. I can give you a link if you’d like. No copying though. 😀
What self-injury means to me is that there are people out there, ordinary, everyday people, who also at the same time, posess a different quality than others. We posess a form of darkness, a brokenness that sets us apart from other people, but it doesn’t make us who we are. The injuries we inflict do not define us, they just simply tell other people a story. They say to the world, “These scars are a representative of the things I’ve been through, and the things I could not and can not handle alone.” And I think that the concept of self-harm is so common, yet so undermined. No one discusses it, everyone shuts out and becomes afraid of the word, the topic, the idea. It’s a shame, but it’s just societal. But the point of it, in a way, is to tell the world that you need help, that you can’t fight by yourself. And it doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human. We are all capable, beautiful human beings…even though the things we do are, undoubtedly, ugly and unspeakable to some extent.
This is my view on self-injury, and if you’re writing about it or use it please don’t forget to give me the credit for what I’ve written. Thank you.
if u si it isnt your fault
and its not funny or something to joke about
it helps so much but at the same time destroies your life
you hurt yourself and other people, even when u think no one cares
its like having a two different minds
its terrible yet so glad u have it
everything is 50 50
when u si its like nothing else matters, you cant do anything else, or care about anything else
its all that matters
you start to not even care about your self anymore
your start being crushed by your depression…
drowing in your tears…
covered by your injuries…
scared by your thoughts…
lost in your mind
you start to feel so alone
and scared
sad
mad
ugly
guilty
angry
disapointed
frusterated
discusted
theres a bad side to everything
nothing will ever be the same after you start si, for the good and bad
it really sucks
and while its your fault for starting, its not your fault you cant stop
i dont know how to explain that. but thats how i feel about si.
rescue is possible x0 and msl94, i really liked what you two said and i’d like to aknowledge you in the book, if it ever goes anywhere. so if you two would tell me your names or what you want me to call you in the book, i’ll make sure that it gets in there. thanks 🙂
Cait, please.
