Am I attention seeking?!


Question: Am I attention seeking?
Okay, firstly I keep on cutting my self. Sometimes I just get annoyed, and cut, sometimes I scarfice my blood for God, and cut, sometimes I feel depressed and cut...
But last time I cut I thought, I don't know but I liked it. I kind of want people to know and when I say to my self I am attention seeking, I believe my self to think otherwise. My two best friends know but I really scared of my mom knowing... I kinda want people at my school to know, and not hide it, to be myself and I wouldn't care what people think of me. I am confused.
Am I attention seeking? But I don't want to be like that but why do I want people to know? Im confused... Please help, sorry if I m being selfish or somthing....

Answers:

You are going to seriously regret what you are doing if you don't stop now. I have a hard time empathizing with cutting. I know it can be a serious problem for some people but it's almost too ridiculous to take seriously. Almost everyone has been really low at some point.. I know I've been really really really fcked up over life many times, and I never had to resort to that. (drugs, sure.. but hey) It almost sounds like you are doing it as a fashion statement. Sacrifice to god -- what are you talking about?

Look, it also sounds like you're battling with some serious self-esteem problems. Talk to your parents about that, even if you can't talk about your cutting just yet. If there is a youth counselor at your school/church/wherever that guarantees confidentiality you should go speak to them. Cutting your skin isn't the answer, and once you're over this period of your life you'll still have scars on your body to remind you (and everyone else who sees it) forever.



you are not attention seeking you are screaming for help. and by advertising it at school you are hoping that someone will tell and you will get the help that you are also scared of getting while at the same time you want to get help. talk to your counselor or favourite teacher at school and ask for help for your cutting. i promise once you get the help you will be glad that you did. self harming is never a good thing. i have been there. only with me is was with suicide attempts. finally someone listened to me and got me the help that i needed and i am so glad i did.

been there.



Uhm, no, you aren't attention seeking. You need help. Talk to your mom right away no matter how painful it is, because cutting is a serious mental disorder. You need to explain it to someone confidentially so they can help you. If other people know you cut, they'll spread a lot of really bad rumors about you because it isn't something to be proud of.



Yes you are, tell you Mom though, because cutting yourself isn't good for you, so it has to stop.



No one cut themself before EMO kids made it popular



very



yea but so what?
