PHILIPPINES The man decided on a very unusual form of (protest) suicide. He went out into the street with a knife and cut his own throat. The whole event was caught on video by a random witness. It is not known if the man died. In developed countries with good medical care, he would probably have a good chance of survival because there is still some time for a blood transfusion after he falls unconscious.
If you're thinking about self-harm, please stop and recognize that this won't solve the pain you're feeling. While it might seem like a way to cope, it leaves lasting scars, not just on your body but on your heart as well. There are healthier, safer ways to manage your emotions.
Every wound you inflict is a cry for help. You are not alone. Reaching out to someone you trust can be the first step toward finding a way out of this dark place. You deserve kindness, support, and real healing.
