Even though people that cut their bodies don’t admit that they have a suicidal tendency, they do have it. Usually the tendency of self-abuse leads them to suicide, unless they fight against it.

Wish things were not so serious, but they are. “

Not everyone that cuts is suicidal though…I cut and I’m not suicidal. I know someone that cuts. We’re really close and she has never been suicidal and she’s been cutting for a year.

Our pain has a meaning - we are constantly transformed.
If you have courage and faith you will surpass all obstacles and triumph in the end, even though the story of your life is so sad and your problems seem to be impossible to be solved.

Start writing down your dreams and you will have the unconscious’ help.

You have to be strong and help your brother too.

You must forgive your father. Human beings make many mistakes in life because they have a wild side that doesn’t let them develop their intelligence and sensitivity.

At least you are not as depressed as your brother and you may be able to help him with your attitude.

If she understood that she has to fight against this tendency, she will overcome it for sure. Everything depends on the person’s attitude.

Dear jnicacio, if you both were abused then your brother needs psychotherapy without any doubt and you too, even if you don’t feel you have problems now.

Start writing down your dreams and follow my articles in order to learn how to interpret them. This way you will have the guidance of the unconscious mind that produces the dreams and works like a doctor, curing our psyche and bodies. Your brother needs an urgent help, because he is not able to study dream interpretation now. If you could find a psychologist for him it would be the ideal.

If he won’t cooperate and agree with the psychotherapy, the psychotherapist may help you and your family deal with this problem.

Do you have the support of your parents?

Dear Anonymous,

Even though people that cut their bodies don’t admit that they have a suicidal tendency, they do have it. Usually the tendency of self-abuse leads them to suicide, unless they fight against it.

Wish things were not so serious, but they are.

Not sure if this is what you meant, but it sounds like you’re saying that it starts with SH and then they will commit suicide…

I have a niece who was cutting herself for a while. In her case she got in with a group of girls at school who were doing that and comparing with each other. At the heart of it though, I think it was something she thought she could control - it was her own private thing that she could hide from everyone, and she was the only one with influence over that daily decision of whether to cut or not. Eventually, she completely broke down and the behavior became known. Now she realizes what an out of control thing it was to do, and how stupid it was to fall in with a group of people doing something so silly and think she was cool.

Would your brother accept any kind of therapy? If he has a serious problem he needs psychotherapy.

Do you know why he behaves this way? What happened in his life?

The way things are right now he already has a very lonely and sad life. He won’t let anybody help him. I want to but the last couple of times I tried he pushed me away. He is my brother no matter what but I don’t know what else to do.

Drugs and alcohol are self-destructive, like self-abuse, but cutting means to abuse your own body.
