Casualty (uk) Theres a guy in the show tonight that selfharm (it's on bbc 1 now 8:10pm-9pm)
 

Well it's on now just incase anyone wants to watch? I am but i didn't know about the cuttiing till right now when the guy pulled his shirt off. Go watch it (pokes)

Probably a waste of a post, sorry.

xXx

I'm watching it, I wasn't expecting that :shocked: .

Me neither, i was like oh, lol. Nice to see the subject being approached, lets just see how it plays out though.

Same here!! Shocked me a little too. My TV is really small so I couldn't see to begin with and then was like "OMG!"

Okay i hate that guy who just said that to his mate, :( that upset me a bit what he just said.

Thats true, i think they should actually have warnings. I actually feel really p'd off right now because of what that blokes friend said to him when he found out.

I thought it was very distastefully done.

Majorly triggered!! And it takes a lot to trigger me, even on a bad day!

They haven't handled it well at all. Really don't like how they did it either.

I missed the whole self harm thing (was watching dr who confidential) but they have mentioned self harm before, and I thought it was done well that time.

Ugh, I just watched this (not knowing there was going to be an SI topic) with my parents. My Mum decided to come out with

'What? Only girls do that!'

And when i said no, guys do too, she says

'Right, so he's gay.'

Grrrrr. The stupid thing is i could have used this to talk to my parents about my SI (which they know nothing about) but my Mum saying those things just made me so annoyed.

Anyway. I'm glad Casualty ran this story, i thought it was relatively well done considering they only have one episode to explore a subject like this - i'm glad they made it a male and someone whose job is stereotypically macho.

I thought Caualty Was triggering I am easly triggered though I am glad they ran the story.

im not happy about the way they ran it. i think i could hav been done better.

WOW!!! That was fantastic! I love casualty and I'm really happy they ran this story. Charlie helped the guy in the end and I thought it was well done. Brilliant!!

Towards the end it did get slightly better.

It was a shock to me too. My mam was watching it with me and looked straight at me.
When anything self harm wise is on tv she always goes quiet and looks at me.

i watched it... was rather triggering i thought but i have hidden away everything so cant do anything... it was still kl... i hope Guppy doesn't start on the drugs!

I watched and i didn't know that SH was going to be in it either. Not sure about the way they handled it to be honest. I was very shocked when it came on though.
I feel a bit all over the place. I'm very tired and it's playing on my mind a bit so i'm not really sure if i'm triggered or not.
Take care all

I missed it! Arg! I wanted to watch it too...its not repeated is it? It never has been before as far as I know so I suppose not. Anyone know where I can watch it?

I've commented about it in the comments bit of their website and said that I thought it was handled very badly and there were many parts that could have been distressing for a lot of people.
