CHINA Police officers were called to a bizarre case of self-harm. A man walked into the street with a knife, shouting incoherent phrases and stabbing himself. When he tried to slit his own throat, the officers watching him decided to intervene and managed to stop him – most likely saving his life.
The man was transported to a psychiatric hospital, where he was admitted for long-term care. It was later determined that he suffers from severe psychosis and may pose a danger not only to himself but also to others around him.
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.
If you need immediate help, please contact a helpline.
