Feeling sad is an emotion which does not garner enough
attention, usually those who are filled with sadness are advised that they will
soon get over it; this is not always the case. When in comes to self harm
cutting there is often a feeling sadness which may not be detected by the
person self harming. For many people they have become so use to being sad and
depressed they have accepted this negative emotional condition as being normal.
More people cutting and depressed
Statistics show that Europe has been
experiencing rising numbers of self harm cases; one of the most frequently
cited reasons by those self harming was a feeling of sadness. There are more
people on antidepressants than at any other time in the history of the Western
Hemisphere ; it is important to know that sadness is continually
associated with self harm.
“People were falling through the cracks of service provision”. There is clearly a gap there that is being met by Pieta House (an organization responsible for identifying and helping those who self harm)” said Dr. McGilloway. Sad, depressed and cutting has become the new normal for so many people; unfortunately many are living this way without getting any help. The usual treatment for those who are self harming is antidepressants, this has helped many but it does not get to the root cause of the cutting.
The pros and cons of medications
Drugs have been a huge help for the millions of people who are depressed, it is a fact that there are millions of people who simply could not function without the use of some antidepressant medications; but this should not be the last step in the healing process.
The underlying cause of cutting and self harm will always be emotional stress; it is the hidden stresses which are at the root cause of all self harming, this is what medication does not address.
Healing in private
