Actually, its mostly that they want to divert their attention from the main problem, its not really wanting to commit suicide.

 

[IceQueen~]

Some people enjoy doing it I think they do it for attention esp since they make a point of showing all their various scars and explaining how they got each one with great enthusiasm :-\
May Allah help them

They feel there is no way out when in fact, they don't realise that God is always there. It's sad that some teenagers (and adults) don't feel like this.

My friend suffered from depression. Alhamdulilah she didn't resort to self-harm

 

[deeah_2]

All praises due to Allah, that I have never been in a postition where I wanted to hurt myself. People always tell me Iam a person who has a lot of patience and I think Allah for that!!

 

[AhlaamBella]

Ameen. Alhamdulilah I don't have a short fuse....but I'm not drowning in patience either lol

What made u stop sister?

 

[IbnAbdulHakim]

i am also curious as to wat made u stop sister...

 

[AhlaamBella]

And what made you start

 

[IbnAbdulHakim]

shes already explained both in the advice thread


jazakAllahu khair (if u r the same person and i assume ur a sister becoz u sed ur friend is a "she")

 

[AhlaamBella]

oops. my mistake, sorry

 

[sevgi]

are u guys talking to me?

if u are---no i havent written any where else about this...

regarding what made me start?

i think it was a mix of childhood traumas, resonating through my adolescence, the inability to understand why i was living so much emotional and physical pain (not self inflicted), besides this, the inability to understand why i had noone to share these with...this leads to bottled up hatred to forces u cannot comprehend...and u feel worthless and stupid, coz the forces around u are constantly reiterating that...and u lash out on urself...and dnt even feel it really...

what made me stop?

when u come close enough to killing urself, and u actually meditate being washed etc after death, the thought of giving up freaks u out....my iman (inshallah) was what made me stop... "la yukallifullahu nefsen illa vus'aha"...
believeing that Allah had better days in store for me...trusting him before i trusted my self...realising that noone is worth it...oh and...i moved outta home...

u never really rid urself of it...but u get stronger as u hold back...

duas please.

Ukhtee..Deep words...May Allaah increase your reward and reduce your suffering-aameen.

 

[Lady_Nadine]

Does thinking about it count?

 

[Malaikah]

Does it have to be serious? The most I have ever done was scratch my hand with a paper clip... but no badly, I didn't even bleed!

:salamext:

Nah It's like u know with a scissor, knife, razor, etc. Something that u cause pain to urself with deliberately.

People who self harm, more often than not, don't want to commit suicide; it's a plea for help.

Some posters of this thread don't really seem to understand why people would want to resort to self harming and i guess that is to be expected if they've never had to deal with it. But please try to understand, don't just post the first thing that comes to mind.

Also, remember not every person is religious, a Muslim or even believes in God. What would you say in an attempt to consul such people to home the mention of God does nothing?

 

[ژاله]

for harming onself, one must be very brave! am a coward;i cant harm myself!...when i am frustrated, i just cry nothing else
