Re: Cutting yourself.

[(Anonymous)]

I have to say, it's not necessarily bad to want attention. I never cut, but when I was in middle school I would hit myself in front of others. And partly it was for attention - it was basically me saying, "I need help, pay attention, I'm distressed and everything feels terrible and no one notices, so maybe you'll notice this!" (And when I realized everyone ignored even that, and indeed just scorned me for it, I started only hurting myself in private, and eventually had a major breakdown because I never got any fucking help.)

No, it is not a healthy way of getting attention. But sometimes you need attention, and younger people especially might have a hard time finding another way of communicating that they need help.

Also, I feel like there's this catch-22 where if you show any visible signs of mental illness, or talk about it openly, you're deemed an attention-seeking faker - as if the only legitimate way to be mentally ill is to hide it from everyone in shame, which of course means everyone thinks you're not mentally ill (because you're hiding it). And I feel like the sort of attitude you have plays into that...

Thank you for summing my thoughts up! I've been trying for hours to come up with an answer to this whole thread for hours now and you've just summed up everything.
