Please don't self harm Misshell...

I've found alternative methods that work just as well without the pain & suffering. Breathing is good. Teasing my kitty cat works well--she swats me. I sometimes turn on the radio much too loud, which feels intensely annoying. Being annoyed is another sign that I'm alive.
-
Nope. I know I'm alive just by listening to my breathing or feeling my pulse.
-
No, but sometimes I know I'm alive because I'm bleeding. One time I was hit by a car, and it was so surreal that it seemed like it didn't even happen. I wish I could remember the story, but I just didn't care at the time, and so it meant nothing to me. Point is, you can bleed and not even know you're awake. It just costs more in the morning.
-
do not think about it like this way. you are alive because thier is a lot of poeple bilive in your entity & your existence be optimist. & do not hurm your self because this is not the way to improve to your self that you are alive
-
Do you mean am I a "cutter"? Do I purposely harm myself to feel alive? No..that scares me..people like that scare me because that is so foreign to me. :) ((hugs))
-
ive wanted to. instead cuz im scared somebody might see the scars i just hope that its just a feeling and i dig my nails into my skin so i can feel something.
-
the reason why i started cutting was because i felt dead and cutting did make me feel alive. at least it was something, something real. i either feel nothing or everything.
-
Cutting or other forms of self mutilation are used to overwhelm a greater pain, but I suppose it can be different for many, including a near physical sense of desentization. But I still figure that if anything overwhelmed me enough to no longer feel alive, that's precisely how I WOULD know I'm alive. :/
-
No, and self-harm will not help you know you are alive. There are many other constructive ways to feel alive. Please don't cut yourself.
-
do you ever listen to the goo goo dolls...?
-
thats kind of emo but sometimes i feel like cutting myself. i dont really need to see my blood to know im alive
-
No, I bled for the site of blood and the pain, I've always known I'm alive. But take a look at this: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/383453
-
just to check and make sure sometimes. there's always the option of listening to your breathing and checking your pulse, but sometimes i just want to make sure my eyes aren't playing tricks on me.
-
Humm...ya.
-
like in Iris by the Googoo Dolls? hmm. i dont know whether its to know im alive or not, i cant quite work it out. i dont think thats the reason =/
-
i do it just to check that my heart is still beating. with how many times that it has been broken, stepped on and everything, sometimes i just dont think that it is still there.
-
YES
-
No, i love my body. Why would i want to scar it any more then it already is?
-
nope. good song tho.
-
Nope,I've common sense to know that.
-
i use to, but now i know i'm alive and don't have to cut myself anymore.
-
I used to not anymore I have come to terms with it and I know cutting wasn't a way to live it was a way to die so I was determined to stop and I have after 7 years of cutting.
-
for a sense of satisfaction yes, to know im here! AND THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE ME! THEN I DO IT MORE BECAUSE IT MAKES ME REALISE THEY CHOOSE TO NOT SEE ME, THEY CHOOSE TO ABANDON ME.
-
Only when watching City of Angels.

Pain works as well as bleeding, or even better - after all the dead can bleed but cannot feel. And done right doesn't leave any permanent marks, though scars are proof that you've lived, or at least been alive (there is a difference). Scars are memories, they represent the past and that is not always good to be reminded of. Pain is a momentary thing, lets you know your are alive right NOW, and that is something only you can know.
-
GAH!!! I don't even look when I get a blood draw at the lab!
-
no, i hate pain
