Re: Why is self harm such a joke to people - October 22nd 2017, 01:49 PM

I also sometimes make jokes about myself because my sense of humor plays a large role in my healing and it's easier for me to laugh.

As for other people, however, those who do not struggle with it may make jokes because they do not understand or have conflicting feelings around it, or they're just rude or ignorant. Some people who joke about it may also be trying to cover up the fact that they are struggling with it.


If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first


The axe forgets, but the tree remembers
