I feel sad enough to eat myself

This is the first time I've heard about something like this and wanted to share it. The mental image I get of this guy chowing down on finger with a side of veggies is just ... yeah.


I Feel Sad Enough to Eat Myself
May 2nd, 2011 · No Comments

A New Zealand man struggling with depression cut off his own finger, cooked it with vegetables and ate it, doctors reported in the latest issue of medical journal Australasian Psychiatry.

It’s only the eighth identified case of self-cannibalization, and is particularly rare because of the patient’s lack of severe psychosis, the article abstract says.

The patient, a 28-year-old man, amputated and ate the finger without any evidence of impaired reality testing or substance abuse.

“Mr. X,” as he was referred to in the report by forensic psychiatrist Erik Monasterio and clinical psychologist Craig Prince, suffered from bouts of low mood, and sometimes thought of suicide, the New Zealand Herald reported, citing the report.

Once while depressed, he was attacked by two men, and fantasized about killing his assailants and eating them, the report said.

“He believed that by doing so, he would ‘rob them of everything.’”

In late 2008 after “another personal crisis,” Mr. X went into a state of depression.

“He experienced significant insomnia and suicidal ideation, and ruminated for days about cutting off his fingers,” the report says. “In an effort to seek reprieve from these thoughts, he tied a shoelace around his [little] finger to act as a tourniquet and cut the finger off with a jig saw.

“He then cooked it in a pan with some vegetables and ate its flesh. His plan was to amputate another two fingers the following day.”

Although the patient told doctors he was initially excited, in a non-sexual way, and experienced relief from his ruminations, he decided not to cut off any more fingers because of “the instantaneous benefit.”

The man later regretted the act — his first act of self-harm — “because of its debilitating effect.” I find it hard to believe that depression is this guys only problem. I have felt down many times but never ate any of my body parts.

 

oh sheez.... thats nucking futs...

 

Think i heard of this a while back

 

I thought it was pretty nucking futs myself. It's like "Sir how would you like that finger? Extra crispy or original?"

 

I wonder why no one asked him if it tasted good ... its all in the seasonings after all... I couldn't pull that off though... the bones would freak me the **** out ><

 

I'd have that with a side of fries and a smoothie.

Be sure to add....."the sauce."

 

You would eat around the bone and then if any of the stringy meat bits get stuck in your teeth well there is that bone to serve as a toothpick of sorts.

 

Oh there will be sauce.

 

You're fresh meat and we're hungry?

Come over for a bowl of chili and we'll talk.

 

Chili.... with special rare undisclosed meat...

 

i think its an old story..!

 

Um...good for you?

 

mmmm tasty... fingers in margarita sauce are my prefered dish... :9

 

When you said it my mind immediately flashed back to one of the old Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies where Leatherface's family wins a Chili cookoff.

What country did you say you were from again?

 

Just wondering he didn't do anything to stop the pain? Or was it like "YES IT HURTS SO GOOD AND SOON IT WILL TASTE GOOD TOO!!!!"

 

:O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I sure love myself good chili

 

A plethora of many foul things spewing from the gaping maw (or fingers rather to stay on topic here) of one of the most pathetic creatures this world has ever known.

 

Worse - at least you know exactly what you're getting with that creature. xD

 

If the belkurias is of the family epos concido then I think we're on the same page.
