The truth about self harm - May 16th 2013, 10:49 PM
I think one thing that really bothers me about self-harm is that everyone gets the wrong idea. Maybe I would be more willing to seek help and tell people if they weren't so quick to judge. Everyone thinks that cutting is for attention, stuff like that. Ever think that maybe the person is genuinely depressed? That they actually do hate themselves? If I were cutting for attention, I would slit my forehead, not conceal the cuts under bracelets, or decorate my upper thighs. Not convinced? Go to google right now(triggering) and search "Cutters are" and let it autofill. See how disgusting that is?
I wish that when people caught glimpses of your scars, instead of judging and assuming that you are just trying to get attention, they would go over and wrap their arms around you and tell you that they'll help you through it.
