why do people say to us that self harm, that we are attention seekers??? i know for a fact i dont do it for anyone else but myself and when i do do it i certainly am not thinking how much attention its going to get me. i self harm 2 release stress and anger so i dont take it out on the people i love, i am not proud of myself for doing it but its just the person i am. So when someone turns and slags people off that self harms for attention it really upsets me and angers me more because its none of their damn business to judge us. Everyone has problems ours just show on the surface. so if your reading this and you call people who self harm attention seekers, then please stop with the looks and the bad comments, nobody is perfect. if you see our scars then obvisouly we have enough problems without you causing more for us.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
A friend of mine told me of a time she was staying with two people she knew, one of whom had cut before and who was trying to get the other two of them to join in. My friend refused, but the other two went on and cut in front of her - it made me physically sick to hear that.
It's from attitudes like that that the attention-seeking label comes, because the attention-seekers are the only ones to get seen...
