So has anyone else self harmed in school or during class? I have, does that mean I am doing it for attention?

Did someone tell you you are doing it for attention?

Are you perhaps using self harm as a coping mechanism or perhaps externalising internal pain? Does it help relieve your pain?

i don't self harm anymore but i did. i would cut in the bathrooms and scratch myself in the middle of class. part of it was a cry for help, just wanting someone to see the pain i was in, part of it was just not giving a fuck anymore. you are not a bad person, you are hurting and that is not your fault. if you haven't tried therapy i strongly urge you to get help before you make any life or death decisions

My left forearm. It makes sex an issue. Someone kicked me out of her house when i showed her my forearm before we were about to have sex.
i used the image above to try to make the point to my government minister about the sort of intense mental pain i suffer that pales in comparison to the physical suffering she can relate to when she sees these cuts.

i have, multiple times. it was partly a cry for help, since at the time I still believed other people could get me out of it. but on another lense it was also due to the fact that school and things that happened there made things ten thousand times harder to deal, I could not control the feelings.

don't be to harsh on yourself because of this. there is nothing wrong with seeking help. it's completely normal, if that's the case, for you to want someone to notice your pain and support you.

I have cut myself a few times in school bathroom but I didn't want anybody to see me doing this. I have just closed myself inside toilet cabin and after cutting casually flushed down the blood and walked away.

My ex told me I was just doing it for attention but it helps me feel alive in a weird way

The first time I started cutting myself was over 7 years ago. I remember I did it once at school and I was told to get first aid done by a lady near the reception, I lied saying I fell down but she didn't believe me. I did it several times, both at school and at home. It doesn't make you an attention seeker. You are hurting and maybe this is your way to cope with the pain you feel.

it is awful what you are feeling and going through. This is the bad thing not your self harm that is the bad thing.

I think pain just makes us feel more alive than we presently are.

My arm looks like that people see you different they don't understand your head won't stop
