If she wants to die like she wrote in one of the pictures why doesn't she just kill her self? Why all this self mutilation?

(I don't even recall if I've commented on this post before, but I felt the need to respond to a few things...)

To several who asked 'why doesn't she just kill herself?'...
She doesn't truly want to die, but she's in a place where she's paralyzed emotionally... It's a serious cry for help! She's standing on the tallest building, megaphone in hand, screaming for help!!! That's partly what cutting is, an outward reflection of how they feel inside, their cry for help. To her it's a serious relief of all the pain, anger, desperate sadness, all of that stuff. It's causing a huge flood of endorphins into her system to combat the physical pain of cutting. It calms all those terrible feelings trying to get out. But ultimately it's like trying to hold back the tide with a teaspoon... It will end in one of two ways, either finding a healthy way to cope with this tide of emotions or, ultimately, death, probably suicide. Right 'now', when these pictures happened, she's on a slippery slope leading to her death unless someone heeds her cries for serious help.

Early on, someone said she's not losing all that much blood... She IS but she's cleaning the wounds up to take pictures so people who see them will see everything. So they can see just how badly she's hurting! I mean, did you not see what she showed of her 'kit'? She has that huge bin full of blood with napkins in it and a pile of napkins packages on the floor! That is to catch most of the blood spilled and the soaked cleaning items, napkins and such... She likes the blood, to see what she's done.

She doesn't want to die, but something is hurting her SO much that she feels desperate and helpless in the face of those memories, I say 'memories' because I don't feel it's a current situation, again, at the time these pictures were taken.
She needs a serious intervention and some time focusing on recovery...

I really feel sad for this poor girl. I would love to know just what happened to set her on this course...

she doesn't want to die. Obviously. She knows exactly where to cut so she won't. That some seriously demented behavior!! How has nobody noticed or cared enough to get her help good god.

sideways for attention downways for results,but jokes aside we've only seen part of her cutting,look at all those scars ,i wonder how much a body can take...

I used to cut. I did it when I'd be in a heightened emotional state, usually out of utter frustration of not being heard by a loved one. I never did it for attention, I did it out of sight and on my ankles which are all tore up. It gave me an immediate focus and clarity of mind through the pain (which was subdued by the emotional pain at the time) and seeing the blood of the wound; also, it was cathartic to take care of it and make sure it healed correctly. It was like watching the healing my heart.

It's been a number of years since I have cut, but then again I stay away from deeply emotional relationships. I have a male roommate who happens to be my ex, and we get along fine. I expect nothing so I am never disappointed anymore

On a side note, anyone have any new info about coldnessinmyheart? The extreme self-harmer?

Hopefully...this girl will seek help before she ends up killing herself...

These are old. But what ever happened to her???

[n2ecosystems]

She's gone already, anyone who hates themselves that much and can do that is already a lost soul. It's only a matter of time before she's in a box.

She really needs to be put in an mental institution.
