no anyone who hurts them selves needs help it takes a very brave person to admit they have a problem and going to your doctor takes courage you would be helped and never thought you were a attention seeker don't do it if you are thinking about it

it really is undesirable yet standard for those with melancholy and pressure. regardless of the indisputable fact that do not damage your self in a fashion which will scar you for existence. As undesirable as this can seem, hit upon a fashion to damage your self that's seen to others yet wont scar. also, get of the meds if thats whats making you experience this manner. some ideas as what to do: -give up chatting with all and sundry and actually bypass right into a depressed state the position all you do is sleep (dont enable this very last more desirable than a pair days...) -actual tell someone how a lot discomfort you're in...even if that be a pal or buddy. Dont do something you'll remorseful about later on best of success

No, I wouldn't call it seeking attention, but more of a call for help. Have you harmed yourself? Is this the first time or is there an on-going problem?
If you're feeling the way I suspect you are, please make an appointment with a doctor, or just talk to someone you can trust, about what's bothering you.
*hugs*

I don't think people on here should mock. Come on you guys, give MW a break. Give thanks you're not in this position.
It's not good to self harm, so do confide in your doctor, or someone you feel will help and care. There is more to self harming than the act of self harming.You do need attention. Doctors are there to help and maybe refer you on to a professional in this field. Seek help and take no notice of anyone who doesn't take you seriously.

First of all, why are you harming yourself & then seeking medical help ? There has to be a reason. You definately are not a moron, else you wouldn't have asked this question. If it involves a broken or a not started/one sided relationship, you are just harming yourself. Will do you no good and are looking for sympathy. This will do you more damage and will allow people to meddle with your personal life. If you really need help go see a church minister or a church councellor.

Yes and though it's not a healthy way to get your doctor's attention I can understand this type of behavior. Sometimes a person is in so much pain that this is the only way they can relate what's going on with them.
A better way to show your doctor how much emotional pain you are in is to express it verbally or write it down and show it to your doctor. It can take practice but you need to try and break from the habit of harming yourself so that you can get the most out of therapy. I hope things go well for you. :)

If your motivation is to seek help, which Ipresume it is,then no it's not seeking attention - and I think you should be proud of yourself, cos many people won't tell any professional.
However, there ARE some who just want sympathy and then that IS seeking attention.

Definitely tell your doctor. Do not hesitate. Your doctor can help you. Even if you are thinking of hurting yourself, tell your doctor or family member or friend. There is alot of people who care and want to help you. Don't give up on yourself. Seek help.

Definitely, it is a cry for help similar to those that attempt suicide in places they know they'll be quickly found.
The majority of people that self harm do it to release anger and pain that is within them.
You need to go to your Doctor so he/she can refer you to a counsellor or psychologist that will help you with the underlying problem that is causing you to want to self harm.

It is a little bit of attention seeking, you want someone to feel sorry for you but at the same time you are sane enough to realise that you need help.
