I am so fucking sick of seeing photos like this all over tumblr with tags saying: cuts, deep, suicide, depression. I am fed up of seeing beautiful girls post about how they haven’t eaten at all in a week, of seeing posts saying: I just OD’d or saying: I just tried to kill myself or even posts saying: I’m going to kill myself, goodbye. It’s all bollocks. One, i’m sorry but they are nothing but a couple of cat scratches. Two, yes you have eaten or you wouldn’t be at all well enough to sit at a computer and type that sentance perfectly and then go on to reblog a load of pictures. Three, no you did not just OD. Again if you did you would be unconcious or dead and would certainly not be well enough after waking up to open up your laptop, come on to tumblr and write a bullshit post about it as if nothing happened. Four, again no you didn’t just try to kill yourself. What you did do was cut yourself twice deep enough just so a little bit of blood came out or took about 5 co-codamols and got scared. If you did try to kill yourself you would be in hospital, probably unconcious with a load of doctors rushing around you. Not sat on tumblr blogging away and five, if you seriously were going to kill yourself, you wouldn’t tell anyone. You certainly wouldn’t waste time to blog about it and then reblog a couple more photos. You’d just do it. Don’t get me wrong, I myself completely understand depression and am currently on anti depressants. I also completely understand self harm, purging and taking one too many pills. Because I have depression and I have done/still do some of those things. But what I don’t do, is tell the whole world and ‘brag’ about it. I don’t post pictures of my self injuries all over here as if i’m proud of it. Because i’m not and if you were truely depressed, you wouldn’t be either. All you people are doing is proving the typical cliche of Emos to be correct. You are seeking attention. Then you complain when people bully you for it. You make it harder for people who actually do hate life, who actually do cut because it gives them a form of release from the emotional pain they carry, who make themselves sick because they physically hate themselves and can’t stand to stand infront of a mirror. The people who actually do have these illnesses do not post about it every time they do it. It takes months, years even for them to be able to admit to themselves that they have a problem, let alone the rest of the world. Depression is not a competition to see whos cuts are deeper or who can lose the most weight in a week. Depression is serious and if you think you have it then you need to tell a doctor. Not tumblr. I am all for letting things out on here, because I do it too. But posting pictures of your cuts is immature and all you are doing is attention seeking.

Sense this makes. Fucking sense.
