I was sitting in my room in a T-shirt and my brother came in and saw some cuts on my arm and asked me where I got them. I said I fell over, I don't know what he actually thinks but he called me a stupid little emo who cuts them self saying no one understands them. I told him to get out. Later on I went to the shops and got my mum a birthday present and when I got back I went into my room. My brother then started following me around the house and annoying me and started saying I was lazy because I wouldn't help him with housework and that I had no friends and that I was always moody. We got into an argument and I ended up losing my temper and shouting at him and then getting my key and hoodie and sprinting out the house to get away, I ended up sitting in a field and crying and trying to cut my arm with my key but it didn't work. I walked home hoping a car would hit me. It upsets me that I had to run out of my house to get away from my brother and I've had enough of him. I feel like I'm going to end up doing something bad very soon if he doesn't stop.

That must be hard :(
Even though your brother was wrong it's sort of his way t oget attention and to sho that he gives a damn. Brother rivalry is very common(My relationship with my brother is the worst i ever saw), and i guess it's probably your little brother you talked about.
To the point: Some people find it hard to express themselves, but if your brother followed you around the house it is because he cares. If he didn't care he would just call you an idiot and walk away. Again, obviously he wasn't right, but you need to take that in mind. I understand life must be hard, and you don't need a brother to mess it up even more, but for your sake, try not to pay this much attention. It's obvious that you are a sensitive guy, but try not to give to much importance to his saying.
Hope that helps,
Best Wishes :hug:

Siblings rarely have a perfect relationship, I know me and my sister don't. That doesn't mean what he said wasn't wrong but you just have to realise he's your brother, he's gonna say mean and hurtful stuff. I know how it feels to have stuff like that said about self harm by your family, my dad makes jokes about it alot but they probably don't really understand what it's like.
Feel free to contact me anytime you want to talk or feel like "doing something bad".

Maybe. Is he your younger or older brother?
Look dude, You have few choices; you can ignore him, you can try to have a real converstation with him. Obviously you can just w8 until he's over with it, but it's not nice to be constantly bugged. If i were you i would speak to him and try to reach his heart. He must have some goal, so you can try and ask him what is it. if he says "just to annoy you" then you can return "well that's mature". But anyway i don't think he'll continue doing this for much longer.
Anyway, just promise me that you won't do anything to dramatic for the time it lasts... okay?

Your brother tries to get a reaction so when you give him one he keeps doing it. Ignore him. My brother does the same thing. You need to find a place in your home where you can just sit and be. Whether its your bathroom or someplace. Just find a place and be.

As for quitting cutting, you should keep a journal. It doesnt matter what you right in it just journal away.

Hope this helps you honey <3

That sucks to hear, don't let yr brother get to ya too much. It's hard to get a long with siblings all of the time and it's really common for y'all to fight about stuff. all ya can really do is either ignore it, or talk with him and tell him to stop being such a jerk all the time.

and as for the cutting, it's really good that you're trying to quit. best of luck to ya!
