Whether it's gp or psychiatrist they are the same. They dont care. They are
not care.. And they just talk super long to drag the time so that they can
get more money ok! Mayb one or two r gd but most of them just dont care.
Don't be fooled, all the myths that self harm has are still believed by
mental health professionals so watch your backs ... I have had endless of
judgements. and once you tell them you have a black mark against you and it
will hinder any form of treatment. however I do not what to put you off
reaching out for help. I'm just making you aware to challenge professionals
and don't always believe what they say.
i live in south west, i should go see her.... (y)
Come on guysss they dont actually care, they got paid for listening....
This is a good video. There is a lot of work to do this field. Besides the
worry of social stigma and what family might think, I have seen plenty of
stories on the internet of girls being traumatically strip searched, held
down by men and clothes torn off, put in restraints for a cruel amount of
time, up to 24 hrs. Enough to make any one scared to death to seek
treatment at a hospital. Progress still has to be made.
My problem is that I feel like I'm not worth treatment, u know? Like my
cuts are not gross enough, theyre neither deep nor very long because my
parents found out in 2011. I guess I'm just afraid to be hurt by them with
words even more if they find out I'm still doing it, so i keep them thin &
hidden which doesnt help anymore but the urge wont go. I guess Im not
"sick" like that. Im just numb for some reason & I want this to stop so I
cut to feel the pain. Not like someone could help anyway.
she will tell ur parents.....btw i subscribed to u, please subscribe back?
(;
this is so true im 14 and i didnt go to the doctors i was to scared that my
mum might find out but i told my mate and he knew how depresed i was... so
he rang child line(uk -0800 111) they help and are there 24/7 for a chat
but if you can manage go to docors even if its a "cat scratch" that seems
nothing to you cause you can get infections so easily
i cut burn and stab my parents knew about one time and never thot of if
again I've been metly depressed for four years now
