How do you deal with those "helpers" who in their stupidity and ignorance judge you as attention seeking?

What is wrong with THEM?

Is it acceptable for professionals to get away with this sort of failure of care?

Do they realise or care that many people want to die 24/7 and "cope" by self harming..

I suppose lives don't matter to these "helpers"

They make me SICK

I hate when someone calls it "attention seeking." For some people, it may be a cry for help, but even that is different than attention seeking. I personally don't think professionals should label or judge the reason why someone does it. Their job is to help, not judge. Even if someone is doing it for a reason that could appear to be attention seeking, their job is still to help.
