41. Error Due To Perspective - Self-Injury A personal site discussing depression, selfinjury, and aspects of being "out" as a cutter .Category Health Mental Health Impulse Control self injury...... injury can be found. self injury (known by many other names, and oftenshortened to SI) is just that. The technical definition is http://ms.parallax.tripod.com/si.html

SI is an issue that is very close to my heart. I have evolved into this condition of being "out" about cutting - although I have not self-injured in a very long time, I have decided not to waste any more time or energy hiding anymore. As self-injury is still taboo, very few pages address the public experience of being a cutter. From that, what follows are just my explanations for those who aren't, some comfort for those who are, and some suggestions of my own on how to cope, both as a cutter and a friend of, or as a family member to a cutter. Lately, I've seen alot of really cheesey pages on self-injury that don't offer the reader much else besides uninvolved speculation, regurgitated information (unhindered by credit to where it came from), and stereotypes of cutters. Other pages set out to make cutters look like world vision commercials - stranded helpless self-victims who need a pat on the back and your help. Unhappy teenagers buying into a new trend, the neo-braincandy of X Generational depression. Marilyn Manson fandom taken the same way as wearing tartan for the Bay City Rollers. I decided to make a page so that if somebody tries to find it, another viewpoint on self-injury can be found. Firstly, For the Non-Cutters

Dual Diagnosis -I Dual Diagnosis - II Drop Till You Shop Self Injury I n my travels on the web and as a volunteer who answers emails for Mental Health Sanctuary, I have come across an increasing number of people, mostly women, who self-harm. It is estimated that up to 3 million Americans injure themselves, double 1997's figure. I believe it is the increased knowledge of mental disorders, including personality disorders, and their origins that have caused more people to come forward and seek help for their self-injurious behavior. Shelly, a young woman from Alabama, writes, "When I would cut, I would feel relieved, and when the blood was flowing it was like my pain was being released, it was like it was the way my body 'cried'. I often cut in situations that it would then be possible for me to get attention from others around me in. This I have come to know was my need to be nurtured. It was also about my need to control others and my environment when I was so out of control myself. I did not even know that what I was choosing to do in cutting was a) a choice and b) a result of my feeling vulnerable and out of control."

Self Injury back depression other mental health disorders self injury alcohol / drug abuse abuse What is self injury? Self injury (si, self harm, self mutilation) is the deliberate attempt at physical harm to the body. It is not a conscious attempt at suicide, although is often wrongly viewed as such. How is self injury related to eating disorders? Many sufferers of eating disorders also engage in some self-harming behaviours. Just as food is used as a mechanism of control, people can use self inflicted injury in a similar way. Alternatives to self harming behaviours It is extremely difficult to fight the urge to hurt yourself once self-harm has become a habitual coping mechanism. This list of suggestions may help you beat that desire to self harm. Remember that not everything will work for everyone - you should pick out things that look helpful to you.

Why? ... to a friend Every night I burn Every night I call your name Every night I burn Every night I fall again Burn - The Cure If you Self Injure, you are not the only one! What is Self-Injury? Self Injury (SI) is a coping mechanism, just like smoking cigarettes, alcoholism, drug abuse, overeating, anorexia, bulimia, over-exercising, etc. "Self-injury is a self-preservation technique for many cutters; the self-mutilation relieves anxiety and/or depersonalization symptoms which could lead to psychosis or suicide if not alleviated. Self-harm can be focusing, calming. It can give a person a feeling of control over their lives and their bodies which they have experienced no other way. People trying to help cutters should not try to take this coping mechanism away from the cutters without helping them first come to terms with things that trigger incidents and learning new, healthier coping mechanisms with which to replace the old ones." "For many self-injurers, self-mutilation seems the only appropriate response to the state of the world and to how they're feeling about it and about themselves. Many self-injurers are extremely intelligent, sensitive, and creative people who have a hypersensitivity to the world around them." top next self-injury bulletin board home ... who cuts?

What Is Self-Injury or Self-Mutilation? Self-injury is not something people talk about very often, but for an estimated 2 to 3 million Americans it is a serious problem. The majority of people who self-injure are women between the ages of 13 and 30, but there are "cutters" of every age, gender, and economic group. People who "self-injure" are not usually suicidal . They do however, intentionally inflict injuries upon themselves, usually in response to stress or trauma, but not with the intention of killing themselves. Their injuries may vary from minor cuts that heal quickly to very serious wounds that leave permanent scars. This is also known as "Deliberate Self-Harm Syndrome". If you or someone you know self-injures, please get professional help right away! This is just an overview of a very complex myriad of syndromes. (See Recommended Reading) The late Princess Diana's word's shocked the world when she admitted in a television interview that she intentionally cut her arms and legs and had thrown herself down a flight of stairs on more than one occasion. FINALLY, self-injury the practice of deliberately cutting, scratching, burning, or otherwise injuring one's own body was about to come out of the closet. After that interview thousands of self-injury survivors called or wrote the media in response to that interview in just the United States alone.

But I've read them all (strong personal interest) and this is really THE book. Strong really knows her stuff, both the "inside the heads" view of self-injurers and even making sense of how the brain seems to work that helps to explain self-injury. The experiences of people she writes about are so real, and so vivid. And caring! Maybe its because Strong is not a therapist and therefore doesn't have any "blinders" on the way therapists unfortunately often do. Sometimes even when therapists treat people with self-injury (and even write about it), they really don't seem to have a deep level of empathy. Strong touched my soul with her book)!"
