Predictably, ...

Kris has deleted all comments in her LJ and disabled posting more. Tsk. How mature. In case anyone wants it, I'd saved the comments page up until Tri's comment. And Kris, not that you're ever gonna read this, but here's what you missed: You may know what it's like to be a depressed, but you don't know what it's like to be a self-injurer.

However, since you're obviously concerned about the person that inspired that entry, here's a tip: listen. Don't judge, don't tell them to make themselves happy, or to get over it, or whatever, don't condemn their cutting, don't do anything but be there and listen.

Me! I'd like to see them! Good forethought, babe!

I wanna see too. I only got up to Zaria's post and then I had to go to bed, and we all know how quick she is with the delete key.

Want. Pwease.

Being a self-injurer myself, her attitude really bugged me. I know she feels bad for her friend, and I applaud that. It shows she is human, after all. But I will not sit there and take her telling me and those like me to "shaddup our whining." If we could just do that and be happy again, don't you think we would?

See, I do understand that she wants to force her friend to get help, but that's not going to work. (Or maybe that's just my own feeling of helplessness. I feel like listening is all I can do. I hope it actually does help.)
