a question about the sad/depression category

You're writitng of your problems and teaching others all about what you do. That's the problems.

Yes, I'm sick of reading about cutters...and so I stay out of their topics...

I'm on this Norwegian poetry site too, and one is not allowed to write submit poems about self-harm or suicide there...

how i love that site:P

well Phil, you sound smart.

If anyone on this site recommends cutting as an answer to problems, I will personally find them and kill them slowly...

But I doubt anyone will..

But its still annoying

Phil....Yes, I agree that talking with others who have experienced things you're going through can be helpful. But some people get a little nutty with these cutting posts. Such as the post titled "what do you cut with." Should that be allowed? I don't think so. Share your experiences but don't tell everyone how and what to cut with. There are a few others on different types of self harm and people actually give detailed descriptions on how to self harm and I think that is going too far. Young kids on this site are bound to be influenced by posts like that.

The whole subject fascinated me for a couple of months, I spent a lot of time disecting minds trying to find out the roots of the problems.

I don't even look in that forum any more. It's an ever repeating cycle of self destruction that will continue on and on and on and on until the forum is closed.

If you're a cutter and you read and post in that forum then your chances of stopping that cycle is nonexistant. No offence to any cutters, but it just bores me now to be honest.

The problem is, a great number of people on this site write so that they can put something in place of cutting, I used to be one of them, but the problem is, are we just going to say no- so then people who are going through it, cant write and display emotions to those who will listen and try and help so they get worse, because their biggest problem is they don't trust anyone or no one will listen or love them, so they need to say something, otherwise they have no other way to express it so are we going to stop that- or are we going to say yes and see other people start?

There is no inbetween and thats what we need- we will either have people getting worse and more serious or new people starting....
