. I told my good friend about my problems with cutting myself and he suggested that he will cut himself infront of me just to see how much it will hurt me and to see how much pain i feel because thats how he feels when i do it Is that a good or bad idea?

• this is too emotional for reasoning, anything that works is cool with me, as long as it causes no more distruction. Your refering to an emotional disorder not a thought disorder these kids whatever are fully aware it's wrong. Anonymous is in pain and feels it acutely, from wherever it comes from wrong or not. At least he gave her something to contemplate besides a fresh razor blade. The situation is extreme and anything but the status quo is going to sound goofy (go to the doctor and get medicated is standard) long time no see Sharona.

• Hi Nick. I've been working like a real adult now. LOL. Finally. It's been really hard for me to find a job these last few months that I can STAND. Anyway, two kids trying to figure this out has very little chance of a cure. They have no real tools to use to get sane here. I am fully aware that this is an emotional disease. It is a disease. No other person is going to cure this with some parlor tricks. This is something that needs a good counselor so when the subject wants to cut again, they will know what to do to combat the desire. Someone who cares that says they are going to show them how bad "they" feel about the cutting is merely dumping more guilt on the situation. It never works. That would be like going up to an alcoholic and getting drunk to show them how bad they make you feel. Please.

• Sharona, I just wanted to avoid giving them lectures and unwarranted advice. Like they're going to listen anyways. You ARE totally correct, but it's the standard, default response. When one has been in the mental health system as long as I, sometimes you just get burned out. Drilling the basics into these kids IS important, and is a kind helping hand, but, big but (no pun) I'm offering a strong shoulder, of the two of us maybe you are the more responsible one. But what can I say. Thanks, I do believe you showed a lot of restrain in not outright critice me. -NickX2

• I'm glad about the job, yea! I've been luckky enough to like every job I've ever had and left. It's the people who annoy me most and cause problems. Oh and yes, I had to run, that's why late post. Are you annoyed w/ the mental illness crowd? I avoid the worst like the plague, or at least the ones w/ social problems. the worst I can stand. The best I love dearly.

• Why would I criticize you? You didn't say anything terrible. I can't imagine your job. You must be overwhelmed. Three quarters of the nation is mentally ill and I mean than sincerely. There is no way to take care of everyone. I don't think I could do it. I'm too empathetic. I don't mean I'm so concerned about everyone that I'm a martyr, I mean that I pick up bugs from other people. I used to be a massage therapist and I had to quit because when I worked on people, I would get sick. I would pick up everything about them and it wore me out. I didn't know how to properly ground myself around other people.
