People dont take self hamers seriously. They don't
realise how
much pain they are in. In fact, they underestimate how much
pain
they are in. Don't you realise how upset someone must be to
drag
that blade across their skin? Dont you realise how miserable
someone must be to lock themselves somehwere and burn
themselves? Don't you realise how cheerless someone must be
to
raise their hand in the air and slam it against their body, time
and
time again until they are covered in bruises? No, you don't.
You
shouldn't joke about things like that, you shouldn't
overlook
people who do that to themselves. In fact, you should help
them.
Don't disrespect those people, they are quite obviously in so
much
pain. Don't tell them to do it. Don't say that it
doesn't mean
anything. They do it to release, for that moment they
forget all
their problems, everything, all they can focus on is inflicting
the
pain. It's terrible, it's saddening, it's
scary...it's self harm. Those two
words, self harm, they're actually quite powerful if you
really go
into it. They are so miserable that they turn to harming
themselves
to get away from it. It's no joke, so don't treat it like
one.
