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)
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 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.
You made up your mind to torture mine!
If you read a scar like a book, you will relise the story in which you over look
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.

Reason: adding a bit
I thought Caualty Was triggering I am easly triggered though I am glad they ran the story.
“Never lose faith in yourself,
and never lose hope;
remember, even when this world throws its worst and then turns its back,
there is still always hope.”
im not happy about the way they ran it. i think i could hav been done better.
" my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.
I wish i had my world complete again.
'Can we protend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, i could really use a wish right now' BoB
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!!
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.
