Self harm + mutilation Anonymous
Dear /fit/,

I'm sure that this subject stirs some forced emo kid memes, but lemme still give you my question:

Does any of you /fit/ards do self harm or mutilation? By how (cutting, burning, other) and for what reason. Do you suffer from some serious mental disorders and feel like punishing yourself or plainly just like to hurt yourself?

Tell & discuss.

I get the urges but I am too much of a reasonable person.
Example I will be like "Man I could totally fucking cut myself...but then it would sting later and piss me off...plus there will the blood and all that gayshit and I need to clean up this place as is....plus it will raise unwanted questions from pedestrians and if an emo sees it hey may try to talk to me....fucking emo kids"

It's not that I hate myself. I have the mindset of a peace loving killer. I want to hurt, kill, and mame out of fascination/urge but have the moral descency not to do it to others or cats.

How is a having a healthy state of mind verses an obviously distorted mindset not considered /fit/. Last time I checked a well mental state is a big part of being healthy. Or wait? You're just here cause you want to GET FUCKING RIPPED ABS.

Troll fucking harder please.

I am routinely annoyed that SI seems to pop up everywhere. I guess sufferers just can't stop talking about it, like it's a great thrill to share it with the world. I've had issues with it for most of my life. I don't cut (you pussies), and I sure don't make it obvious or do it where anyone can see.

Also, you're not special for doing it.

When I was an emotionally retarded 13 year old I used to cut. My brother caught the cancer, there was abuse left right and center, and we lost our house. That ended, and now I don't. There isn't a lot of lasting damage that comes with cutting; anyone who does it is too much of a pussy to kill themselves, and it clears up with the problem that caused it. At least I can look back and say I was less of an attention whore than most.

I used to, when I was like 13 or 14. I was pretty depressed and it basically replaced the emotional pain with physical pain.
But in the long run it really doesn't help, it just drove me deeper into myself and my depression, which I gladly managed to pull myself out of with the help of friends and family.
If you are feeling the urge to self harm I find hard, heavy weightlifting can help, it provides the physical distraction without the damage, but of course what you really need to do is talk about your feelings with someone, find someone to help you through your pain.

also, on a more personal note i will be reverting this mutilation back into a road bike once i get my hands on an argon 18 e-112.

though, i won't be riding zipp 404 clinchers... i'll be riding some tubulars - 70mm-rimmed trispoke wheel (front)/disc (rear) - with a white selle italia t1, white fsa os-115 stem, and visiontech front end.

i don't like how people see it as such a bad thing, because it's not. obviously scarring and infection are the two major problems (mostly with cutting), but taking care in placement and cleanliness can reduce the risk of either of those considerably.

not everyone self harms because of depression or attention whoreyness, i used to cut myself very often when i was overly excited or giddy; it calms you down and clears your mind. there's obviously better habits to have, but you could be doing MUCH worse things to your body.

I used to, and I think I have one or two VERY faint marks from where it used to be, but nothing noticeable at all unless you knew it was there and had good eyes.

I found it was a good way to relieve yourself of depression temporarily because it releases endorphins which calms you down, in the long run though it just makes matters worse.
And you can get endorphins any other way easily just by exercising or even masturbating, but you can't exactly do that all the time especially while depressed. Exercise is one of the best things for depression though, you just need to motivate yourself to do it though.

I knew a girl in high school who cut up her arms every so often, was emo about her weight (bulimic) and about her grades.

Since her best friend was my girlfriend at the time, I had to drag her ass out every morning to follow me running, and to tutor her. But she stopped cutting herself, so I consider that a success story.

/fit/ has been here what, a week or two? how can you say what it is 'for.' fags like you will only help get it deleted, which i sure as hell hope doesn't happen because i've been wanting a /fit/ board for a long time. /fit/ and /ck/ cross realms a bit, with /fit/ being more a general healthiness/food/fitness/weight/healthcare board and /ck/ recipes, food suggestions, diet (although /fit/ is good for diet stuff too). the two have a distinct atmosphere.

A close friend of mine was a cutter, though most people couldn't tell, and I only found out by chance. She was very ashamed of it.

It took her 4 years to quit cutting after she started.

I've never cut myself(I don't have razors around and I'd end up overthinking it and not do it), but I've punched and hit my head against walls for pretty much the same reason as cutters- to clear my head of emotions. I also have scars from when I'd drag my knuckles against rough brick walls.

I had a friend who used to cut herself in the middle of a class with a fucking compass. So emo it brings Jeremy Enigk to shame.
