No it wouldn´t. I am well aware of the fact that self harm is a serious kind of mental illness I was just talking in general because as a matter of fact there are enough cases out there where it´s all about attention seeking and as I said, it´s often at least a part of the whole thing you can´t deny that (and I am not talking about your case as I don´t know you at all). I am not a psychologist but I do know that there can be a lot of reasons for things like that. Once we had a girl in class who had cuts and scarfs all over her arms. She also tried to kill herself, then changed school. Afterwards we were told by a friend of hers that she actually had been raped a couple of years ago and that was the way she was dealing with what had been done to her. She stayed in hospital for quite a long time then. The next time she tried to kill herself she made sure nobody would find her so she was succesfull. Those things do happen and I wouldn´t dare to judge anyone here I was in deed just talking in general and don´t call me careless alright? Ta Besides if taking overdoses isn´t a form of attention seeking but self harm only what´s the point in doing it anyway? Quite strange in my book..
