Thoughts of cutting yourself? What you need to know

Thoughts of cutting yourself is something which should be taken very seriously, although there are many people who feel that cutters are not suicidal this is not necessarily the truth. There are many people who are self harming who may not know that this tendency can lead towards suicide. If you are entertaining thoughts of cutting yourself you are not alone, there are millions of people worldwide who are contemplating the very same thing. If you feel suicidal it is crucial that you speak with someone immediately or call emergency services, this is available in every country.

Suicidal

Cutters are often closer to suicidal contemplation than they may be aware of; this is one of the hidden dangers of self harm. Many cutters say that they are not thinking of taking their life but self harm is a slippery slope rooted in stress that can lead to suicidal contemplation. The roots of self harm are found in deep emotional stresses, these stresses may be very apparent (such as school or family problems). When the emotional stresses of life do not find a needed outlet this may cause a person to “turn on themselves”. Self harm is an emotional response to what seem like an inescapable stressful condition. Thoughts of cutting yourself must be taken seriously and can lead to other acts of self harm.

The usual course of treatment for those who are self harming is medications, antidepressants medication can be very helpful, and they do numb the emotional pain. While medications can be helpful they should not be the final stage in your recovery, drugs will never address the root cause of the emotional stresses.

Good news

Cutting and Depression is a growing problem

Cutting and depression are often linked, but the sad fact of the matter is that a new study shows that most in England are not being treated despite being depressed.  Mental illness is a very debilitating illness, a depressive mental state affects every aspect of a person’s life, for example many are unable to hold steady employment. Those who self harm may get an emotional urge to cause injury to their own body. According researchers cutting and depression seem to have a very strong link.

 

 

More depressed, but few being treated

 

In a very startling study which was released last week, it was reported that over 2/3 of people in the England who are depressed are not receiving any treatment for the condition, this is very alarming.

Professor Simon Wessely of King's College London stated that about 70% of people receive absolutely no treatment for clinical depression in the United Kingdom.

"People are still routinely waiting for – well, we don't really know, but certainly more than 18 weeks, possibly up to two years, for their treatment and that is routine in some parts of the country. Some children aren't getting any treatment at all – literally none. That's what's happening. So although we have the aspiration, the gap is now so big and yet there is no more money," he said.

Often young people (who are statically the majority that are self harming) are the least likely to get any treatment at all, with cutting and depression linked we can see how this is a very troubling situation. It is crucial that those who are self harming understand that it is very important to take steps to address the self harm. Many cutters will need antidepressants, this has helped many but do stop there; take your healing further. 

Medications can be great but they will never get to the root causes of why you are depressed and self harm.  The Red Report is still the number one method to heal self harm alone and in private; you will learn how to address self harm on your own, the report was created by cutters for cutters and it works.

Can't stop cutting Myself: Why this occurs

I can't stop cutting myself is a common dilemma amongst those who practice this behavior, what many who self harm may not be aware of is that the act of self harm is extremely addictive, like any other addiction it may see that you can take control the behavior but this is not the truth, self harming can become a very vicious cycle of emotional pain. It is a very common phrase “ I can't stop cutting myself” and there is a good reason for this.

Why Self harm is so addictive

All self harming stems from an emotional stress, this is something that has been proven by mental health officials, this emotional stress can coming from school, family, friends or other people who are close to you. The numbers of people suffering from stress has increased dramatically over the past decade according to the department of mental health, emotional stresses cause trouble in the body and the brain. According to researchers at Ohio University constantly thinking on your problems causes stressful inflammation in the body and brain.

I can't stop cutting myself

Those who self harm often live in a continual depressed state of mind, in the study it was found that to ruminate on stressful incidents( or a life of bad experiences) increased levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of tissue inflammation.. The study by Ohio University is the first to directly measure this effect in the body. Reaching for the blade is a solution to the stress and it may work but you will continually need this solution and it often become an addiction, this is similar to those who turn to alcohol for the solution to their stressful situation. When interviewed by researchers in Europe (Scotland)  “I can't stop cutting myself” was a common confession amongst self harmers. Self Harm comes with a price, each cut leaves a deeper emotional scar that you will have to live with, it is a bad solution to an emotional depression or an overwhelming stress.

The rise in Depression

Depression statistics from the department of mental health shows that there are been a very large increase in the numbers of teens who are suffering from clinical depression, the situation is just as gloomy for college students who have seen a rise in their suicide rates over the last 10 years. Many of the young people today are stressed and depressed and often that can lead to alcohol as a form of release, the proliferation of cellphone cameras are causing the bad decision of many girls to be shared with thousands on the internet. The numbers of girls who believe that they have ruined their lives after an encounter with multiple guys are increasing.

Bragging rights for guys

Cutting yourself, Depressed and Suicidal thoughts

If you are cutting yourself and depressed it is important to know that this can lead to a downward spiral of more serious self harm, the numbers of young people committing suicide is growing. Although most Mental health officials say that a person who cuts is not trying to take their life what is not mentioned is that many cutters do have suicidal thoughts very often. Cutting yourself and feeling depressed does lead to increased suicidal thoughts.

According to the British Medical Journal, deliberate self harm ranges from behaviors with no suicidal intent (but with the intent to communicate distress or relieve tension) through to suicide. Almost 1 in6 adolescents will self harm at some time in their life, and 1 in 2 older adolescents report having had suicidal thoughts at some time. What this shows is that cutting yourself with depressed feelings may be on the “lower end” of the suicide range but many do progress from cutting to suicide. The leap from the blade for cuts to an attempt on the life is not that far, this is extremely troubling.

All cutters are experiencing an inner pain that comes from life situations, others make you cut. We are seeing a growing number of bullying and school stresses leading to self harm. If you are cutting yourself and depressed do not be deceived because self harm and suicidal thoughts are linked, this was revealed by researchers at School of Social and Community Medicine, University of Bristol, they concluded

Compared to those who had never self-harmed, those who had self-harmed but not wanted to die during the most recent episode were at increased risk of ever having had suicidal thoughts and ever making suicidal plans. As the frequency of self-harm increased, so did the risk of suicidal thoughts and plans.

Cutting yourself is not a simple release of tension from stress, it is an act that has a strong link to suicidal thoughts, many who have committed suicide were cutters earlier in life or engaged in other acts of self harm when depressed.

Self harm is a bad solution to an inner problem uses caused by others.

When Cellphone photos led to self harm and suicide

The case of the Steubenville  High school football players has ended and the boys have been found guilty of rape, the case was busted wide open when photos of the victim was passed around by the players on their cell phones. The pictures show a teen girl completely knocked out and drunk being dragged around by a group who all had sex with her. This story brings to mind another young girl who was in a similar situation but did not live to see her tormentors brought to justice.

Felicia Garcia and cellphone pictures

Felicia Garcia was a 15 year old high school student who grew up with no family, her parents were killed at an early age in an accident. She grew up in various foster homes. Felicia, like so many young girls today had no father and very little direction, One day she made the mistake of sleeping with a member of a Staten Island football team, sadly this turned into a very bad situation.  4 members of the football team ended up having intercourse with her at the same time, as bad as the situation was it became worst.

Cellphones are the new parents

Teens do everything on their phones today, the most intimate details of their lives are shared with friends on their phones. It is a world where adults are not permitted to enter. One of the most disturbing trends among teenagers is the sharing of details by cellphone video, the boys who had sex with Felicia recorded it on their cellphones and shared the footage. Soon many of the students were passing around Felicia’s bad decision with the football team.

She was humiliated, she was taunted continually in school and tried to ignore what happened that horrible night. She later confessed to a friend that she could not take it anymore of the bullying. Girls jealous of Felicia looks, all shared the video to more people.  When Felecia could not take the taunting she began to break. With no family she felt like the lonely person in the world. The video that lived forever on the boy's cellphones was too much for her.

I give up

Felicia stood on a subway platform as scores of students waited for the train, she jumped in front of the on coming train. She died at the scene.

Sadly, in the United States 15 year old boys are heroes if they can kick or catch a ball. Many of the Staten Island parents were worried that the boys would be suspended and miss some “important football games”.  Many blame the school for protecting the players (One teen had a scholarship to play college football) In a fatherless generation many of the young girls are suffering, the role of a loving supportive male is crucial to a young girl's development. In the pass a horrible mistake that Felicia made may have only be a rumor, but with social media the world sees.

A 15 year old girl who had no one in this world chose to be intimate with one boy, he quickly turned her over to his friends to do as they wanted.

The hidden world of teen cellphones and social media has caused bullying to be taken to another disgusting level. It is time parents demand to know what is happening on their teen's phone, It is time for Fathers to protect their daughters. At 15, teens do not have the intelligence or experience to use  these mobile devices unsupervised, It is time for parent to step up and start parenting. Catching a football does not make a child exceptional but character and good behavior does.  

In Memory of Felicia Garcia 

I am addicted to cutting myself

I am addicted to cutting myself was the last email that we received yesterday, the mail from a 20 year young woman reinforced much of the emotional abuse that she has lived with. Bullying was one of the events that caused this young woman pain when she was a teen. The teasing and feel of loneliness lead her on a very destructive path. “I am addicted to cutting myself” how do I stop? This was her question

We can say that after 4 years of working with cutters that reading “The Red Report” will address the cutting problem immediately. In the case of this woman self harm started after living a very disastrous life in high school. She did not feel like she had any close friends, bullying started with name calling and progressed to silly pranks which other girls thought was funny but caused much pain to our cutter. There are thousands of people self harming all over Europe and the United States, in addition self harm is a huge problem in Asia but it is seldom spoken of. “I am addicted to cutting myself”, it is a cry of many who deal with this issue alone

Why you cut

Self harm is a solution to a problem, it is a method that is used to stop an emotional emptiness, like a drug the self harm does seem to work but it is only temporary, you will soon cut again. The inner problem is never solved with cutting it is a vicious cycle and you never heal. Science is revealing that a technique of going inside to the root of the pain and emptiness can help you stop self harming, this is not with a therapist but alone. This new way is helping you regain the power and control that has been taken from you. I am addicted to cutting is what has brought thousands to the The Red Report which is read in 10 countries See here Stopping Self Harm in 10 countries
