Makes me want to cut more

[Totality]

Hey,

Well, when it comes to my SH and cutting, i dont hide it from people. I tell my friends just hoping that they will help me, i show them the scars.

Some do help, some call me attention-seeking.

Yet, all im really doing, is crying out for help.

Now, i got this off one of my so-called `friends`

`please stop pretending to self harm`

and it just makes me want to SH and Cut even more, just to prove that im not pretending or lying. This has really effected me, most of my other mates are with me, or so they say. I think they're talking about me behind my back though :(.

What should I do?

I just want people to talk to, to help me, to know what im going through.
Thanks

1st of all i cant help from experience cause no1 knows that i do it!
i think its brave tht you tell your friends but people "sweep under the carpet" what they dont understand
are you in school or college? if so i think a teacher would be more apropriate if you cant tell your parents?

I can't help all i can say is no one cuts for no reason
talk to me if you need to
also those people are compassionateness fucks focus on the people that help.

You have to learn to pick and choose who you tell. It's a very very thin line when it comes to dividing between those who are attention seeking and those who are just very openly crying out for help. By telling EVERYONE you are not in any way helping yourself. You are just making things harder on you and drawing attention in ways you don't need, only furthering the problem of stress and so on.
Ignore everyone who is claiming you are just pretending. Forget what they said. Don't believe what they say. YOU know you do it and you know why you do it and whether they believe it or not is your problem. Look for help somewhere that matters like a teacher, parent, or counsoler. And then you can fully solve it!

My friends know but not out of my choosing and they have never once said anything about attention possibly because I'm so private about it, either way they've been so supportive. I think you just have to choose who you tell wisely, pick the friends who you're closest too, who really love you. And they probably are talking about you behind you're back but out of concern, I know I'll walk into rooms and conversation will stop or switch to something ridiculous. You shouldn't be offended or annoyed because although them talking about it with out you is frustrating, expecting them to cope individually with the news you're self harming isn't right. They'll need to support each other aswell as you.

Anyway, you're telling people, because you want help. But you're telling the wrong people. Tell someone who can offer you the help you need, talk to a teacher, a school counsellor, a doctor anyone. Or maybe you can talk to your parents? But whoever it is I really think you should talk to someone about how you're feeling and the self harm.
