confusion, doubt and other stuff

some believe that if you dont self harm then you aren't really depressed and dont want to kill yourself. i personally am very suicidal but i dont really self harm because it doesn't give me any relief. sometimes i feel like im just faking it all for a cool person narrative but no one knows I'm planning my suicide. does this make my feelings less valid? or has my mind just been fucking with me this whole time

Not everyone who self harms is suicidal and not everyone who is suicidal self harms. What do you mean by you feel like you're faking it all?

no, it doesn't. self harm "works" for some people and not for others. being a self harmer doesn't automatically mean you're suicidal, and vice-versa.
