This is just for myself. When I become self abusive in either cutting, hurting myself (aggresive behavior to myself)))), hurting myself with pills etc; It is usually a sign to me that I will take it further. I have been in the self injury mode and have attempted suicide shortly after. Its not everytime but thats a sign to me that I need help before I take it too far. Everyone is different. I had a friend that cut on a daily basis; not to commite suicide but to ease her emotional pain. She cut too deep and lost the use of her hand. I was in the hospital at the same time; she did it there. They had to take her into surgery immediately. It was a scarry thing and made me think twice. She was a wonderful person; just needed help. What had upset so many was she told the nursing staff that she was feeling "unsafe"; they told her to go to bed. Well, did not work that way. People are all on a different level. Its a shame that these kinds of things happen. Like I say, everyone is different; the part that worries me is sometimes when we dont want it to go too far; it happens and we cant take it back.
