Bare with me, I don’t do this kind of thing a lot. Ever, really. I’m 15, female. I started cutting when I was 12. My mom and older brother were fighting all the time, not like arguing either, like throwing chairs at each other. He hit her and made threats. I didn’t feel safe. He pushed me around a little but nothing major. My mom was also mostly living with her abusive boyfriend at the time, staying at his house with his family. I hated that. She left me home with my Bi-Polar drugged out father and younger brother, whom I basically raised. After several months a classmate told her about the cutting. I went to 4 therapy sessions and that was that. I kept cutting. At age 15, this past February, I stole some of my dads pills, went to the park, took them, and tried to hang myself. Someone saw me and called my mom, she picked me up. I slept off the pills and she took me to 2 therapy sessions. The day after the suicide attempt she made a joke about it. I didn’t think it was funny… I’m still cutting, and I want to kill myself. Am I just an attention whore? She doesn’t seem to care at all. Nobody does. I don’t feel like I have anybody in the world. I feel alone. I feel empty. I no longer really feel any emotion. I can’t.

Hun,
I tried taking my life twice. And spoiler alert, I’m still alive.
I’m 17, and a guy.
I know you are a cutter and I don’t approve of that intirely, but I understand why it is done.
Offten I joke about my suicide attempts because that is how I coap, but I understand most are not like me, so I totally get where you are coming from.
In terms of your older brother and mum, I am so sorry about that. I wish I could just take it all away and give you a normal life, but the past has been done, and has hurt you deeply. Please stay alive. I understand you are hurting and it is not my decision, but please?
And to answer your question, no you are not being an attention whore, as you would call yourself.
