Suicide and self harm...

Dexter

Although I am frightened of dying, when the thoughts of suicide come, they can feel quite nice. To sort of get away from this madness we call life. The self harm, I do on a regular basis, and the sight of the blood running down my arm , the feel of it dripping/sliding is wonderful. I like it when it hurts cos that means I am punishing myself. However frightening death is to me, if I died right now no one would notice, and when they did they'd have a party.

  • I made the unforgivable mistake of not distinguishing between self harm and suicide attempts.  There are of course very different.

    I am also different from you.  I don't self harm.  But when i took over doses, I meant to end it.

    My late father, who had mental health issues. Attempted to self harm for selfish reasons.  

    When my mother slipped in the kitchen and broke her wrist, she spent 6 hours in hospital as they set her bones, x rayed, and reset her bones three times.  When she finally came home after midnight with a plaster cast from her fingers to her elbow.  The conversation was all about her broken wrist and the repeated x rays.  My father in a fit of jealousy at the attention she was getting, insisted that his knees were broken and wanted us to take him to hospital for x rays.  He then walked up our wooden stairs, stamping as hard as possible trying to break his own knees.
