My girlfriend recently asked me why I cut myself. I replied
"Because I have knowledge of things I cannot change."
It's quite profound, but that is why I cut myself. To let out anger. I don't cut deep, but enough to bleed. I sent my qoute to a self-harm website, to use on there front page but they ignored it. Shame, I really think it can help people understand why they are harming (cutting, burning etc) themselves.
Hopefully someone will find it useful.

I realise I haven't had any counsellor training, but that sounds a bit silly to me. People who self harm aren't doing it for the asthetic 'qualities'. They are doing it because pain becomes like a drug for them. Generally speaking.

Good reply there. There are many way of averting self harm.
Yours is a good one.
Also try drawing with red pen on your body instead of using a blade.
However I understand the pain of cutting is a release/rest from the pain your feeling inside.

If you're cutting yourself as a cry-for-help or a suicide attempt then thats all well and good (been there, done that) but it doesn't really work and leaves marks you will never get rid of. If you really need to vent stuff to someone then find someone who is close to you and let it all out, they'll be understanding.
If you actually want to do damage jump in front of a car or a train.
If its not a suicidal issue and just self harm to take out agression then find something to release your anger on besides your flesh. I write p**ssed of poems and stuff, I also have a 'journal' I write in when I'm vexed and seeing my thoughts and emotions on paper help me think straight and understand what I am really feeling. It stops that claustrophobic choking feeling you get when you have loads of stuff on your mind.
If you feel that the emotions you need to let out have to be done physically then get a punch bag and go mental on it. It helps

A counsellor called Joy, I wish I'd thought of that.
HI there
I read you comments on self harm with interest.
I am training to be a counsellor and have done a paper on the subject.
I understand you reasons for self harm.
I wonder have you sought advise on how to control the need to self harm and they way and which you can perhaps do something else instead.
I wish you well
Joy

I wrote a reply but it's a pointless debate.

Well the fact he's even posting about it suggests a level of attention seeking. He says himself "Because I have knowledge of things I cannot change" - that's his reasoning. You're telling me that is not a bit screwed up? And, while were here, many who commit the massacres in the US either kill themselves or do the next best thing, "death by cop" - taking actions they know will force the police to kill them because they cannot do it themselves. It's the ultimate self harm.

Anyway no point having a debate.
