Ranting is fine. But like I said, glorifying and romaticizing about self-injury does not do you any good, nor anyone else who may read your post who may be on the verge.

I suppose you did not even consider what else I wrote:

It's gotta come from within. No matter how desperate the feeling is, it still has to come from within you.

You gotta make a commitment to stop self-injuring. No one can make that decision for you and you know that...

If there is something that rings false in what I am saying, then fine, I apologize. But since you are the one holding the razor or knife or shard of glass, it truly is YOU who must make that decision.

I do not feel guilty for saying what I said, and your blaming me does not make me feel guilty either, because I am not the one trying to make what you are doing sound beautiful and wonderful OR ACCEPTABLE. The reality of self-injury is NOT beautiful, NOT wonderful, NOT glorious or anything of the sort. The reality is you are trying to kill yourself.

If you can stay in the true reality of what you are doing, you may have a better chance of stopping.

Staying in a fantasy world just fuels that fire. I don't know anyone who has learned to cope while continuing to remain in their fantasy world. Have you? It would be like asking a heroin addict to continually ponder the euphoria of their addiction while asking them to stop. Which do you think will have more power during this period of struggle?

What say you to this?
