Hey man i respect your honesty very much.  I actually had an alcoholic  dad as well and he would say the same stuff. All he ever talked about what his dad being a horrible drunk and would abuse him.  Its very tough to see that side of them and their dark side come out. I don't think most parents really understand how it makes us as kids feel when they act like that. I agree that most parents wont ever agree to seeing a counselor because the hardest step is admitting that they have a problem.  Sounds that your the best influence and rock for your younger sister so way to set a good example for her and do your best to protect her!

Hey man sounds like a tough spot- it think the most important thing is that she has you as a friend. That knowledge can be one of the best resources for someone to never go over the edge, even if the small self harm mechanisms do lead to more severe forms. I think its great you research outside academic sources to see if there are scientific evidence to help demystify why people do this when we care about them and they don't want to actually die. As a laymen, i dont have the most educated answer but from personal experience of friends i did have someone give me some answers in how they stopped self harming themselves. What happens when you self harm, similar to a manic episode, its not your normal personality or behavior. This means there's an unnatural flow of blood, energy and the dopamine/endorphins you wisely researched that make this a manic situation. The best thing to do when she feels like this is to IMMEDIATELY find a external behavior to break this cycle. One way is a physical break, this could be, drink 20 ounces of water and do 10 push-ups or go outside and just walk for ten minutes. Another is a creative or artistic break which could be drawing,blogging about how they feel, writing or painting or anything that can break the mental flow of self harming. Another could be calling a person and having them talk them through it. Obviously this last one places a lot of pressure on a friend who could inadvertently miss a call or have their phone off which isn't fair for the friend but it can be a suitable solution. I know this wont be found in some awesome scientific journal, but sometimes the hardest situations require basic approaches and not some magical scientific formula. Hope this helps! comment on looking for advice for helping self harmers by Life-Iz-Good

What an awesome analogy for life and the hurdles we all go through. Even when you accomplish all your goals or get what you really want, then the reality that the next task or goal needs to be in place. Not being static or realizing that "we are all on borrowed time" or "borrowed emotions" that come and go and go from up to down is something difficult to realize. Awesome post would love to hear other great suggestions on literature. comment on Depression and a story by Life-Iz-Good
