#i fucking hate everyone

So what if my self harm is attention seeking? Some people self harm to ground themselves, some do to express their frustration, some do to distract themselves from the mental pain, but some do it as a cry for help when words aren’t loud enough, which is basically attention seeking (or some people call it ‘support seeking’ to remove the negative connotation)

So what if i self harm so my family understand that my struggles are that bad? So they’ll allow me to get professional help and not say “it can’t be that bad, you can handle this alone”, or at least acknowledge that i am struggling. Yes this is attention seeking, but there’s no shame in it
