Book excerpt: Self-harm, depression, anxiety, bullying, fragile relationships, medication, therapy, lack of ambition, loneliness, psychiatric wards and suicide are all things that I'm familiar with. Not through studies or things I have read about on the internet. They are all things I experienced as a teenager and young adult. Every day was either a battle with myself or someone else, more often it was both. I struggled to cope with life and manage my own thoughts and emotions, which lead to constant self-harm and a few suicide attempts.In Self-harm to Self-harmony I, Scott, take the reader on a journey through my childhood, where the seed was planted that would eventually lead to my mental health problems, right up to the point here I had managed to stop self-harming and could enjoy the blessings of life. Between those two points I fell into depression, started self-harming, struggled to get along with my family, was bullied regularly, had many therapy sessions, was prescribed medication, suffered with anxiety, became an inpatient on psychiatric wards and tried to kill myself a few times. Not the average life of a young person.Living with self-harm, depression and other mental health problems isn't easy to live with and it's far from understood by the majority of the world. Those who suffer want to be understood and those who care about those who suffer wish to understand. With Self-harm to Self-harmony you gain an insight into the life of someone whom is struggling with self-harm, depression and associated mental health experiences.But as the title suggests Self-harm to Self-harmony offers hope to those whom are struggling by illustrating my own experiences of overcoming such struggles. But if you have a child, friend, relative, student, employee, etc. that is struggling with the difficulties that I have endured then you will better equipped in how to support them through their dark time. I share with the reader what I have done to overcome my struggles and how I have improved my life.

Download or read book Femininity Self harm and Eating Disorders in Japan written by Gitte Marianne Hansen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1980s onwards, the incidence of eating disorders and self-harm has increased among Japanese women, who report receiving mixed messages about how to be women. Mirroring this, women’s self-directed violence has increasingly been thematised in diverse Japanese narrative and visual culture. This book examines the relationship between normative femininity and women’s self-directed violence in contemporary Japanese culture. To theoretically define the complexities that constitute normativity, the book develops the concept of ‘contradictive femininity’ and shows how in Japanese culture, women’s paradoxical roles are thematised through three character construction techniques, broadly derived from the doppelgänger motif. It then demonstrates how eating disorders and self-harm are included in normative femininity and suggests that such self-directed violence can be interpreted as coping strategies to overcome feelings of fragmentation related to contradictive femininity. Looking at novels, artwork, manga, anime, TV dramas and news stories, the book analyses both globally well known Japanese culture such as Murakami Haruki’s literary works and Miyazaki Hayao’s animation, as well as culture unavailable to non-Japanese readers. The aim of juxtaposing such diverse narrative and visual culture is to map common storylines and thematisation techniques about normative femininity, self-harm and eating disorders. Furthermore, it shows how women’s private struggles with their own bodies have become public discourse available for consumption as entertainment and lifestyle products. Highly interdisciplinary, it will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Japanese studies, Japanese culture and society and gender and women's studies, as well as to academics and consumers of Japanese literature, manga and animation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative guide profiles behaviors considered shocking throughout American history, revealing the extent of changing social mores and cultural perceptions of appropriate conduct since the Colonial period. The notion of what is offensive has evolved over time. But what factors dictate decorum and why does it change? This fascinating work delves into the history of "inappropriate" behavior in the United States, providing an in-depth look at what has been considered improper conduct throughout American history—and how it came to be deemed as such. The detailed narrative considers the impact of religion, sexuality, popular culture, technology, and politics on social graces, and it features more than 150 entries on topics considered taboo in American cultural history. Organized alphabetically, topics include abortion, body odors, cannibalism, and voyeurism as well as modern-day examples like dumpster diving, breast feeding in public, and trolling. Each entry defines the behavior in question, provides an historical outline of the offensive behavior, and discusses its current status in American culture. Throughout the book, clear connections between offenses and social values illustrate the symbiotic relationship between popular opinion and acceptable behaviors of the time.

Download or read book On Self Harm Narcissism Atonement and the Vulnerable Christ written by David Vincent Meconi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Self-Harm, Narcissism, Atonement and the Vulnerable Christ explores St. Augustine of Hippo's theology of sin, described as various forms of self-loathing and self-destruction, in addition to sin's antidote, a vulnerable relationship with the crucified Christ. Incorporating recent thinking on self-destruction and self-loathing into his reading of Augustine, David Vincent Meconi explores why we are not only allured by sin, but will actually destroy ourselves to attain it, even when we are all too well aware that this sin will bring us no true, lasting pleasure. Meconi traces the phenomena of self-destruction and self-loathing from Augustine to today. In particular, he focuses in on how self-love can turn to self-harm, and the need to provide salvage for such woundedness by surrendering to Christ, showing how Augustine's theology of sin and salvation is still crucially applicable in contemporary life and societies.
