Get the pull a hammy mug.Self harm refers to the willful act of harming oneself. Many people simply group its many forms under "cutting," but this is technically incorrect. Self harming is usually triggered by an underlying behavioural or emotional disorder, such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or bipolar disorder, or total lack of feeling. The main reason why people self harm is because it simulates an attack, and produces endorphins, among other hormones, which provide comfort to the self harmer. However, there are many dangers in self harming:
-If the self harmer cuts a little too deep, they might not be able to stop the bleeding.
-Hepatitis B, and other blood-bourne diseases.
-Scars are unattractive. At best.
Additionally, it's highly addictive and hard to break. It's equivalent to ending an eating disorder. The psychological addiction level is very high, as one might suspect, but there is a physical aspect of the addiction: The hormones released after an act of self harm are tangible things which can be very difficult to be separated from. While someone is quitting self harming, there may be disturbing outward manifestations of the desire to harm, such as sadism. These symptoms will pass with time.
In short, self harm disorder is not something to be trifled with. Its association with a certain style of clothing and music is unfortunate, and self harming to try and conform with this twisted stereotype. The will to fit in will fade quickly, but the scars are immortal.

Self harm brings nothing but pain and misery.
Can you reach for the stars, with the scars on your wrists weighing you down like leaden shackles on damned souls?

Get the Self Harm mug.The act of intentionally harming one's self without the intent to die. The most common forms are cutting, burning, scratching, excessive skin picking, and pulling out hair. Some less common forms are head-banging, bone breaking, self poisoning through ingesting toxic things, and even amputation. Some people also consider smoking, disordered eating, and excessive alcohol consumption to be forms of self harm.
For the most part, self-harm is not an attention-seeking behavior. Most often it is a coping mechanism which serves to get relief from overwhelming emotions. It may also be a way to punish one's self. Self harm releases endorphins, chemicals whose function is to decrease pain, which makes an individual feel better, possibly even euphoric.

When I'm angry or depressed, I feel like the only thing I can do is self harm. It's the only way I know how to make myself feel better.

Get the Self harm mug.A enigmatic pro wrestler best known for his "dare devil" style, especially in hardcore ladder matches. He worked w/WWE from '94 to '03 and, if used properly, would have been a much bigger star there. He's been working w/NWA-TNA since '04. Although he did experiment w/drugs, he's currently clean despite what internet Hardy-haters say. Fuck them!

Get the Jeff Hardy mug.A douchebag brand NOT worn by hipsters. Ed Hardy consists of ridiculously low quality garments at a hideously jacked up price. No, people aren't jealous of Ed Hardy wearing Douchebags, they actually have better taste.
The average person who wears Ed Hardy probably thinks he's "hardcore" and the girls who wear them are Trendwhores. If you have an Ed Hardy shirt, True Religion Jeans or Rock and Republic or Juicy Couture, guess what? You are a douche. Please log off earth.
Please consider respectable clothing by WeSC, APC, and Nudie. They are around the same price range but don't scream douchebag, AND won't rip up in about a week.

Get the Ed Hardy mug.A wanky, chavvy, poor quality, overpriced AND hideous clothing line worn by wannabe gangstas and 'trendy' dickheads. It manages to rinse out your wallet for a stupid trucker hat which makes you look like a reject from your local skate park and decrease your popularity with the opposite sex at the same time. A phrase often used by the twats trying to defend it is 'dont diss it because you cant afford it'. Well, you live in a council house and i am writing this on my iphone. So shut your face.
Cock: lets go shopping and buy some ed hardy shit!!!
Sensible person: um, dont you think its only worn by wankers though?
Cock: OH EM GEE i cannot believe you just said that! Dont diss it because you cant afford it!
Sensible person: i rest my case.

Get the Ed hardy mug.When we checked the bottle, we found that 30 pills of Celexa had been filled, rather than the Celebrex Chelsea's doctor ordered. The Emergency Room Doctor recommended we take the remaining pills back to the HARMACY once the breathing tube was removed.
