Patients who self-harm are being allowed to do so under supervision in hospital in an innovative scheme.

The practice is being allowed as part of a six-month investigation into the care of people who self-harm at St George's Hospital, Stafford.

Patients are allowed to carry on cutting themselves, but are also offered substitutes such as holding ice cubes or wearing tight elastic bands. link [news.bbc.co.uk]

its like its promoting the dam thing





Reverend, reverend, Is this a conspiracy?

that sounds like a good idea.. what about low amp/volt electric shocks.. that would work...


Nothing has turned out as we expected. It never does. Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect. We take what we get and are thankful it's no worse than it is.

it's just giving them the attention they crave.
If they ignore it then they won't gain as much positivity from it

is it just me or was there slight slight sarcasm there





Reverend, reverend, Is this a conspiracy?

I'm sorry I'll take it back, un-f**k you

Well it sounds really strange, but we get loads of kids coming in weekly needing thier cuts dressed. I mean something has to be done about it. I wonder if the scheme will work?

They compare it to alcoholism, and say you cant leave them with nothing at all. If they have been self-harming a long time then it is an addiction after all

I used to be a self harmer when I was young.
I had been through a lot, I had been asaulted on the way home from a friends my grandfather had died and my dad was going through a mental breakdown

I know how difficult it can be to stop.
It's not as easy as people may think.
It is addictive behaviour.
I don't think you can really understand unless you have been through it

See I have never done that, wrong generation, but because i see it daily i realise how big an issue it is. It is like a new form of release instead of turning to drugs or drink
