Is self harm attetion seeking? about family problems too

My mum got mad today because my brother stole some sweets from my mum and she started to get angry at me. She was calling us ponces and saying about us moving out. When I was about to go out, she said something about me cutting and I got angry and I said she doesn't know anything about it. Meaning she doesn't understand about self harm. I went out and kicked a recyling bag as I was so mad. I'm just so angry and she was horrible to my sister last night or the night before. Hitting her on the face and saying that my sister makes my mum's life a misery. Is my mother horrible? Is self harm attetion seeking? I'm just normal aren't I?

ok it sounds like you are dealing with some tough situations at home. And the self harm may your way of coping with it and other stressors in your life. Can you find a teacher, a doctor, a school counsellor, a family friend, a aunty, uncle or someone to really talk to about whats happening? You will need to be honest and it needs to be someone who is trust worthy and who will take action to help you. You are normal, but self harm is not a safe coping mechinism. I dont belive its ''attention seeking'' it can be many things, none of them straightford or simple.
You need to reach out for some help, will you do that?

I could go to a doctor or tell a friend. I feel like no one would listen. I'm just a nutter and a horrible person I would just have to cope with this on my own. If my mum is so horrible to me, why did she have kids in the first place? I'm better off not being here anymore. I sound like an idiot I didn't nick anything so why the heck should I get the blame? My mum blames stuff on me. It's always my fault Yesterday, me and my brother was having an argument and mum came in and said it my fault when it wasn't.

EG, your mum seems to have some serious issues. You are reacting normally to a dyfunctional mother. It would be better for you, however, to move past this reacting to her. You need help to do this. I know you have been bouncing around a lot of ideas this last week with where you could start to get help. I hope you make a choice this week and take a first step in getting some help.

honey this is not your fault, you are not a bad person at all.
There is someone u can talk to, but maybe u need to call a helpline, go to the hospital if u have to, believe me, people do care, but they dont know what your going through, u have to be brave now and get some help

Maybe it is my fault. I don't want to go to hospital or phone a helpline because my problems are not bad. My mum yesterday and today have been nice to me. It's odd to me. I don't know why she is acting this way.

Yeah I keep self harming but my problems aren't too bad.

Didn't we meet just now in that other thread of yours?

1. Self harming is definitely NOT attention seeking

2. If you are self harming you need to address that problem and get help.

Well apparently, self harm is attention seeking from my mother. I'm too scared to go to the doctors and I don't think there is anything wrong with me.

What! I don't consider your mother an expert on mental health. Sounds like you are minimizing your issues. Everyone is scared about many things but you have to do these things that are good for you anyway (getting help), fear or not.

Yeah suppose so.
