It's quite scary... and it can happen in so many levels, from over-eating, to cutting, to simply hanging yourself up and throwing in the towel. I can't even relate to who I used to be anymore so it's hard for me to really understand it. And to think that for as many awareness and positive post we write, there are 10 other posts out there showing you how to do it, when, and why you should... like I said: SCARY.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00400632986764577294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462832360617892797.post-56998418734432071432010-06-18T20:49:42.227-04:002010-06-18T20:49:42.227-04:00Wow, this is a great post.

Even though I did not personally experience this type of self loathing, I did have other means of "dealing" with my issues and I can completely relate to the mind set that brings young girls to do these things to themselves. <br /><br />Now as a mother myself to a girl entering her teens, it is wonderful to have people such as yourself bring these topics to light. Being educated helps all of us recognize the warning signs early in ourselves and or our loved ones.<br /><br />Thank youMarisahttp://orsoifeel.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462832360617892797.post-14181156906488841022010-05-27T17:24:48.733-04:002010-05-27T17:24:48.733-04:00It is a heavy subject but one that needs to be tal...It is a heavy subject but one that needs to be talked about more I think. <br />I had a friend in HS who cut herself but I didn't know about it until after she had to leave school to receive treatment for her depression. i never even knew anything was going on :/Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103197130284239823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462832360617892797.post-85289539767379170982010-05-27T15:00:32.525-04:002010-05-27T15:00:32.525-04:00Thank you so much for following my blog!

At times it can be hard to understand how a person might be able to do such a thing to themselves, but if you dig deeper into the situation you discover that things aren't quite that simple.

I've actually teared up a bit while reading this (stupid of me isn't it?), because I know someone who cuts himself and that his situations is so overwhelming that sometimes he just doesn't know how to handle it (I think you know whom I'm referring to). I think that sometimes I'm too caring and emotional but this post was really close to my heart. Thanks for sharing this. I really feel so sorry for people like this and sometimes I can't handle it when people feels like there is no way out except to hurt themselves. Don't they know that by doing that they're hurting the people close to them too. <br /><br />Ok this was a lot of babbling...<br /><br />Enjoy your day, Barry. :)Bernadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17946682013150350542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462832360617892797.post-59426828119882625502010-05-27T01:45:04.456-04:002010-05-27T01:45:04.456-04:00I'm not a self-harm person, but I totally unde...I'm not a self-harm person, but I totally understand what they think of when they do it.<br />Most of the time I think like them. " My head is so messed up that only pain could take me away from thinking in the million contradictory things in my mind". I guess I'm just too weak and coward to harm myself. I keep thinking "if i had a major accident or disease that would cause me a lot of pain this would make me know that what seems like suffering right now is really a luxury"<br />But then I tell myself "be careful what you wish for"<br /><br />Thanks Barry for introducing this book, I may read it one day.<br />:)Shroukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15995177393756028515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462832360617892797.post-72660039388322884972010-05-26T16:28:08.717-04:002010-05-26T16:28:08.717-04:00although I don't know any cutters myself, but ...although I don't know any cutters myself, but I just have to thank you for choosing this topic :)<br />the books seems really interesting!<br />take care xxYasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936561107004088045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462832360617892797.post-17380248040508239842010-05-26T15:33:42.032-04:002010-05-26T15:33:42.032-04:00Thanks Faiza.
