Self injury or deliberate self harm (DSH) is a way of expressing emotions that they cannot put into words. Some people self harm for years without people knowing, these people DO NOT do it for attention but to personally and privately express their inner turmoil. There are people who do it as a way of gaining attention and yes this is a typical symptom of a borderline personality but they should not be judged for that. The reason why an individual self-harms is an outward way of showing that they are in distress and need help and that they are having difficulty coping. People who self-harm dont want to die, its actually a way for them to stay alive. However self-harm behaviour can escalate to suicidal behaviour. I suggest that you recommend that the individual goes and sees there family doctor for a referal to a psychiatrist or psychologist for dialietical behavioural therapy. It must be stated that too much attention can re-enforce a person self-harming behaviour, so be careful how you respond to the self-harm. Good luck!

There are some vicious people out there. They don't care if you eat or have a roof over head. People like that have no conscience when the do things like that to others. They are out for number one and it doesn't matter who may suffer in the process.

If the person is a therapist (in my state) they are responsible for taking action, in accordance with a specific "standard of care".  But a regular citizen is not responsible.  However folks tend to feel pretty guilty when they didn't do anything.  Do whatever is reasonable to protect yourself from possible guilt.  But do not let the suicidal person manipulate you by this method.  If you can get them to a therapist then it is off your shoulders.

This person has been diagnosed with a mental illness...it is the same as any other illness! Would you wait for the person if they were in the hospital with a broken leg...no matter what the illness a sickness is a sickness...BUT... if the person is abusive...no matter what the circumstance is, leave the relationship! No person should put their hands on another in anger!

Sounds like this jerk needs to be reported.  Simply because this seems to be a continual offence.\nAlso he sounds like he has a problem that may need some professional help.

They cut themselves for the same reasons you do - to stop the interior pain.  So some of them have a clearly identifiable event that happened, that does not lead directly to a desire to cut themselves.  It's not the event, it's the pain they feel.\n\nReality is what YOU perceive it to be.  That's their reality.  Counseling is still the best bet here, and I think you know that.  Be well.

I think its sad that someone feels so little about themselves that they feel they have to hurt their bodies in that way.

Yes. And it is amazing that anyone can say that they have because it shows that they care about someone else. I hate to see someone in pain and those close to me, can share the pain with me.

I don't think you want an answer, I think you want sympathy. Well, you got it. That person is a cheat, a liar, and a sad excuse for a human. I apologize for his stupidity and selfishness.

Some people commit suicide because they aren't accepted in their society [like if they're gay or "ugly"], or thats what most of them think. Some people at my school cut themselves cause they think its cool o.o i thikn the best way to deal with pain and sadness is to talk to someone

People are self centered. They may be insecure of themselves so they put one down to bring them up. There is positive criticism though, which is tough to take but may be healthy.
