I've been self harming for a couple of months. There are many reasons why I self harm. One is there are "friends" who become a little nasty to me and two, I have a mother which I think, just put me down. She has mentioned about me wanting to kill myself but it's like she making a joke out of it. Today, she goes, oh tonight you're going to kill yourself. Something along those lines. I'm not going to kill myself, it's my mum taking the mick out of me. She even said to me. "You can kill yourself" which I found was nasty. It was like she didn't care about me. I am becoming a little emotional as I type this thread. I'm sorry to sound boring but if anybody could read this and give me advice on how to stop self harming and thinking negative thoughts. My negative thoughts I think of can be "No one cares about" "people don't me" and so on. Thanks for reading.

Don't worry. I would just have to suffer on my own. No one cares about me. I just cut myself.

EG, I'm so sorry that your mother says those things to you. She must have problems? I'm also sorry about those "friends". Keep posting okay? Can you get a therapist?

Hello

Sorry to be a pain but what do you mean by keep posting okay? I'm new to the forum. How can I get a therapist? Would I have to visit my doctor so he/she can pass me onto a therapist or counselor? I'm kinda scared visiting the doctor and I don't want my parents knowing. My mum is not so nice. I have visited the doctor in the past because one of my friends saw my self harm scars and the doctor gave me anti- depressants. But I stopped taking them. After, my dad thought he failed bringing me up because me taking anti- depressants. Am I attetion seeking or do I sound like I have a mental health issue?

Hey EM, in England I believe you go to your doctor and he sets up the referral for therapy. I also believe that there in England it is more confidential for minors then it is here in the USA.

I said to keep posting because talking about what is bothering you is helpful.

I don't think that you are attention seeking. I think that you are in pain.

Did the antidepressants help when you took them?

(And you are not being a pain!)

I don't think they work. They made me nutty like make me laugh more and more mad. Even my parents complained. I'm worried to seek for help.

You are worried because you think they will make you take meds?

No, I'm worried because of what my parents will think. The doctor would probably tell them. I keep denying that I might have something wrong with me. Maybe I don't need help. I just got to stop being like this and ignore it.

Are you under or over 16? (I think that 16 is when it is confidential and they can't tell your parents. You can call and ask the doctor's office). You need help and ignoring it won't make it go away.

I'm 18. But my mum thinks I'm fine and she said I'm just a attention seeker. That's why I think I'm fine and I should just ignore it.

If you are 18 then your doctor will not tell your parents anything. Your mom isn't well. I wouldn't trust her opinion on many things.

I hope the doctor won't tell. My mum is not so nice, she has been nasty to my family and me before but I'm not going to say.

Ask the doctor if he will tell. When you say that you "aren't going to say" you mean you won't tell the doctor about your mother?
