Description
i dont support it because i almost tried it! i had inspiration for this stamp from this news article here news.deviantart.com/article/57...read it! it's very powerful, and very moving! it had me in tears by the time i had finished commenting on it! and the comment you can find right here and all the replies to it. comments.deviantart.com/2/5787...
let me know if you use it! so i can see it in action!!
template from $zilla774
Oh my god. you people realize that the artist doesn't get to choose what get's a DD. i still have no clue what so ever of why this was chosen as a DD so stop discussing it here. if you dont like it. tell the proper people you can find it here FAQ #873: What do I do when I disapprove of a Daily Deviation feature?
and as for "lumping cutting and suicide together", what can i say... i'm sorry. i'm not going to change it now, and at the time it was what was going through my mind.
for the people who are saying stuff about how cutting can be good. well. i wont lie, my best friend used to cut. she did it to relieve stress. but from my personal standpoint, i know it isn't healthy, and it is something i am very glad i never did.
and if i was refering to assisted suicide i would have put that so please stop using that as an argument as well. i was talking about self suicide. like slitting your wrists or hanging yourself and so on.
any other haters out there... well i'm sorry you feel that way i am not here to change your feelings however.
******UPDATE******
I just uploaded an apology deviation. I feel it's necessary

People will not care if someone supports it or not. It's not easy to stop someone from feeling hurt or miserable all the time. No one wants someone to hurt themselves or worse, and therefore, should instead try and help that person. Maybe find them a psychiatrist, or get them medication. Depression is not something to simply say "Just be happy". It's hard to get up every morning and smile, pretend you're okay when you aren't.

i dont support it, but as one who does it - i understand its not as simple as "itll get better" or "its okay" or "its just a faze"

Wow.How about you support it so you can show that they are not alone.your firend might be self harming but you wont know that cause she or he wont tell you cause you dont support them cause their self harming.so show them that you support them so they know that they are not alone.I dotn support the behavior but I dont support them cause it will help them if they knew you were on their side and there to help them out of cutting.

you're extremely childish. "i dont support it because i almost tried it!" wow, get over yourself. there are a staggering amount of people out there who have inner pain that you can't even BEGIN to imagine. the majority of cutters aren't looking for someone to notice and help them with their problems, they just use it as a coping mechanism. saying that something isn't healthy when you obviously have no understanding of it is just dumb, lady.

So we should not think about those things just because you do not support them...

I completely agree with this stamp! I'm a one year suicide attempt surviver, and being so miserible to the point where your willing to take your own life is the worst feeling of all, it's more painful than knifes or broken bones. I would do anything so I won't have to go back to that. The feeling of fear, how can you feel like every thing's going to be okay when you can't even trust yourself?

So many opinions on this one little stamp...Well beside the fact I do agree "here and there" with most of the users. I am a bit surprised that the artist of this stamp hasn't once felt the need to attempt but then again perhaps I mis-read that somewhere along on here. Don't have many friends nor support. More then once I have tried to tell somebody about my internal struggles but it seems more like some sick joke for them to rofol. All over. My mother does know my pain but now at this point I can't feel that I can say a thing anymore. Or she'll get me hospitalized and I do self-defence. Its been the only few things that I keep trying to be greatful of doing. My bestfriend left me because I became too much to handel. She knew I was highly anti-social then poof. A lot of my online friends grew sick of me also. Now there's hardly anyone left. Not enough people seem to deeply care. Nor ever had anything posistive to say that didn't sounded more like a threat. But what really pisses me are people out there milking all the attention just because there are so many that are sufferng every singal day!!! If you humbly want to talk about Mental Illness then Attention Whoring should be concidered the most common hazard amongist Humanity. Period. This high lights under nearly all that makes people either normal or completely S.I.C.K. Which why I can't look forward to dating. Either. Can't friends, love...Nothing...People the #1 case of death since we were ever born.

Look, last year I attempted suicide, but I decided I wanted to live, and I knew that the only way for me to live would be for me to start over completely. Forget all of my old habits, forget how I thought the world worked, and just know what I had to do to get myself out of the darkest hours of my life. I was able to make a better and brighter future. Maybe starting over completely might help, it worked better than I could ever dream of for me. But it's going to take a lot of work, and get as much help as you can, even if it means getting hospitalized. I'm still going through therapy and I'm on medications. I have an anxity disorder, so unless I learn how to cope with stress, it might take my life. This may sound odd, but my imaginary boyfriend saved my life and is still helping me. Take and use whatever help you can get. It's your very life that hangs in the balance.

Yeah, thank you for the advice. I have been getting the help that I needed for so long. Even been placed on a low treatment, never could stand the idea of being placed on something, my mother felt the exact same way. And knew forever how much I'd suffer because of things that happened. On top of a whacked out chemical inbalance. Been doing some reading periore of these experinces. I do mostly depend on my deleriums to get me threw the day, and making friends with people who aren't deeply there. Isn't as simple as most people would think! A lot of time when I did wanted to kill myself, it was the only thing holding me back. Real people just never mattered too much, since they've always be such a HUGE let down for me and others. My mother loves me, but the love I deeply yerned for kept abandonding me from those whom aren't what they did appear to be...Have been starting completely over but theres some things about my persona I'm not fully ready to give up. Its 'these' that have been my mixed blessing for many years. Because in all respect becoming entierly new doesn't seem very gareenteing since. Fear isn't what drives us to the brink its the those we assosiciate with that still feel the carneal desire towards being such ridiculed jackasses.

Mmmmm.... Yeah. That's a very scary place to be...
I know how it feels when you feel useless and stupid and like you really just can't take a lot of what's happening around you.
But, you know, life isn't always going to be good and fun. There are always going to be frastrating moments in life that you can't control, or may have caused.
But this isn't to say that life isn't going to be fun, or that there aren't people who love you very much. There will ALWAYS be someone out there who loves and cares for you, even when they or you are disappointed.
Every night will have a dawn, and we must never forget this.
If you end up wallowing in your pity or end up killing yourself, you'll end up missing out on when things get better.
This is very powerful and I am glad someone put this up. Sadness is indeed a hard thing to deal with, but we always have to keep the faith that things will get better.

Meh, the people who are suicidal and cut themselves wont learn anything so whats the point of making it? I mean all their gonna say is F.U. I support you and I agree but people could care less if you support it. I'm not being mean.Its completely retarded to cut youself and killing yourself is only leaving a mess for somebody else to clean up and leaves them in a depressed state themselves.

I almost comitted suicide last year, but before I could I realized I wanted to live, so I worked my ass off to get to where I am today. I'm pretty damn happy with where I am today. in the last year I almost failed school but now I'm on the honor roll
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was just referring to what I've seen. My friend who cuts herself never listens to me and my other friends when we tell her to stop and it worries us. And I don't know you, but I really am happy you failed. Then you would of never known how important life is.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, I had decided not too. luckily, this may sound odd, but my imaginary boyfriend stopped me and made me get help. he's the reason why I'm where I am today
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah. It doesn't sound odd. Well its lucky your here, and not in the ground.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not to sound mean but...While I agree it's definatly not a good thing to harm yourself or even take your own like it doesn't sound like you put much thought into the others side of the story. Why they want to/did it and why they are feeling that way. Most people really can't help they way they feel, it's just a fact.

well, you shouldn't be sucidal... but i'm curious why you are... care to explain?

no, i do not wish to explain further thank you.

True, true, hurting yourself is never the solution *nods* but when you're down the most and nobody listen as you try to tell them how you feel, and everybody's mean, it's easy to turn to the razorblade as your only friend. Sadly

i don't support suicide per se, but i support an individual's choice. i think this is kinda rude actually... : /
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
meh, honestly you're not the first who thinks it's rude. [i don't mean to be rude or anything it's just that this simple stamp has caused me a lot of grief and i have decided not to take anything worth anything from it.]

Suicide or hurting yourself in any way isn't a good thing at all. It doesn't only hurt yourself, it hurts everyone around you.

I completely agree, as a suicide surviver I made it my goal of telling people who are suffering from suicidal thoughts what I did to turn my life around. The only way for your life to get better is if you decide to take action.

If I could use stamps, I would definitely use this one.
It's the best stamp I've ever seen here.

Your stamp has been featured in my journal.
I know a lot of people who think/thought about it and done the neccesary stuff (self injury), including myself. So, thank you for making this stamp.

I guess I can see how people can get all "In your face" about it, but the core of this is that harming yourself is just that: Harming yourself. You don't support that.
Neither do I. Hence why I faved the stamp. When I update my stamps, I'll be sure to use this one. ^^
I'm sorry to hear about all the trouble people had been giving you with that DD; I wonder how many of those people spoke on impulse, and if things would've not been said had they stopped and thought about what they were going to say. DD or no DD, I can see what you mean, and I approve. That's that.
Lots of luck to you, and despite the pain, I think it was good you made this stamp.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
OMG! finally somebody who understood it!
Yeah... i got a lot of hell from it all... it sucked...
i think that a lot of people did speak on inpulse...and i'll admit, so did i...at first...then i calmed down, and had good replies. lol
i hope it was good... if it wasn't that's really going to suck...
