*poll* would u ask a nurse for a blade?
 

this is a poll in response to this
http://www.recoveryourlife.com/forum...ead.php?t=3224
discussion started by Harley about nurses giveing out blades. please read it, cos everyones different oppinions are quiet interesting.

anyways, i was wondering how many of us would actually go to a hospital and ask a nurse for a blade?

I no longer self harm but i think i would have if i knew they were handing them out.

I don't know, depends how desperate i was/the situation/lots of other stuff.

And Hi Liz =p

Hell no.

way too embarrasing!!

for me it depends on who the nurse is. there are a few nurses in our local area who i would be comforatable asking because they know me, they know my past etc, but it would still depend on how desperate i am and the situation. Any other nurse. No i probably wouldnt. I'd just go to the shops.

i think if i were in the hospital already then yes...but i would never drive to the hospital just to get some blades...seriously...might as well buy them cause it would cost more in gas to get to the hospital...

Thats a telling post... I wish some people high up in these plans could read that.

I don't think I would to be honest. Dunno why.

No, i wouldn't.
i don't like the thought of it, them knowing what id end up doing to myself.

Yes, I'd go get some, even though I'm technically "recovering". I'm pretty deperate/pathetic. And I'm up at the hospital pretty much all the time anyway (my mam works there + my counselling + it's up my road) so I wouldn't be making a special trip or anything.

I don't think I would because I would be too embarrased & also I wouldn't want the questions - I would feel really guilty as well, even though they probably wouldn't care I would feel guilty knowing they gave me that blade.

Having said that though, if I was desperate maybe, but I doubt it.

I would feel bad and slightly ashamed for asking, also theres something in me that might feel a bit bad if someone just handed something to me that i would hurt myself with.
I find it difficult asking for help or anything so to go into a hospital or to a nurse to get medication than okay but to ask for a blade of all things i dont think i could do.

It depends on the situation I guess. If I'm trapped in a hospital and I need to cut and nothing else worked, I'd ask. However, as for normally, no. It would be much easier and less humiliating to just go to the store and buy a 10 pack for $1.50.

Good God no.

Hey!
Sad, but yes...
Kiss, Liz

No way. So awkward.

Depends on my state of mind.

I know i would,the hospital is pretty close to me,closer than where i buy my razors from.And i mean if you get them once,then they won't ask the questions again,so it won't be as awqard.

Wouldn't.
And why would a nurse give out a blade, knowing what you're going to do with it.
But yeah, I wouldn't, just revealing way too much information to someone I don't know.

<33

nope

Not in a million years. Imagine it would be a bit of an awkward conversation too.

heh i wouldn't, i grow attached to my cutting tool lol :blush: have to develop a bond with it and all that, so just going to a nurse wouldn't really give that .

I might, it would be embarassing but it depends on how i was feeling and the situation.

I would, since I already went to my doctor and asked, and she gave me some.:ermm:

i wouldn't know what to ask.... or how... it would seem all to strange to me

Nopes

Yes, i would. It's better then what i'm using at the moment.

And maybe someone would ask questions, you know? Maybe i'd like to get noticed and offered help without directly asking :/

Nopers.

i actually have, it would say that it was embarassing but i was feeling so desperate that i just didnt care........she wouldnt give me any though.

I don't know. It would feel a bit odd asking for something like that. To me it's not much from me asking permission to cut myself...

i would want to, but would be waaaay to ashamed to acctually do it.
xx helen

I would if I had the confidence to ask but I don't. Zoe xxXX

I change the shop that i buy my razors from each time and so the pharmacy so ,uh what about the hospital? NEVER! I should change that then .It would put me in an embaressing situation !

NO! Never ever!

I definetly wouldn't I find my SI a personal thing and even if it was a clean one etc I wouldn't care.

im a care assistant and i have access to blades where i work so i take them from there(bad person)i wouldnt go in to a hospital and ask for one though to scary!
