I'm 16.
I've strangled myself multiple times when I felt really down and isolated. It was to ease the pain. This is not self-harm, is it? I told my mother about it and we went to a GP. When asked about my "moods," she did not mention anything about that at all and about my panic attacks (three events) that resulted in me doing it. She didn't tell the doctor anything. I'm just asking for attention, aren't I? This is so pathetic. She doesn't believe me. She doesn't. She keeps complimenting me, but I just realized that it's FAKE! It's all fake. She's only saying that to manipulate me. I've always suspected she had an agenda... Thoughts? I can't think straight. |

I've never heard of someone strangling themselves, but I do believe it would be considered self harm. I know it's extremely difficult to deal with this type of stuff without the support of your parents. I'm 17 and my parents have reluctantly gotten me a therapist and a psychiatrist. Do you have a school counselor you could talk to that could maybe sit down with your mom and explain your needs to her? Because I do believe a therapist could help you and your mom work through how you're feeling and your panic attacks, because what you're doing isn't safe, and nobody would want you to seriously hurt yourself.
I hope things will work out and you'll start getting help. Even if you don't, you are not alone, we're all here for you on PC.  Nomad

NO. You are NOT doing this for attention. My parents have convinced me many times but you are hurting yourself to relieve pain which is self hharm. It is also very dangerous. You need help.

Please, please get professional help. Strangling yourself is most definitely self harm and could easily end up in a suicide. You know you are not just looking for attention. You are in tremendous pain and don't know what else to do to get some relief, so you hurt yourself, badly. You are worth getting help and you are worth treating yourself kindly. Please talk to someone, a counselor, therapist, psychiatrist. You need to talk about what is causing you so much pain. Please, you are worth it. Please get help.

This is self harm. Not only is it definitely self harm, it's also quite dangerous. Please get help. Your mother frankly doesn't know what she's talking about. You deserve and need help. Please be as safe as you can and keep posting if it helps, you don't have to go through this alone.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
