Description
Twice in this year, I had made a stupid and slightly harmful mistake, but what was more harmful was thinking it would always help me come to my senses... but instead it became fuel for another kind of pain. I tried to hide it from my friends and friends, to my success, they didn't suspect anything. But it only brought guilt and more pain. I had been hurt by someone whom I once loved, and he told me that people who hurt themselves in ANY shape, no matter how small or whatever the reason for it, were people who did not deserve any empathy nor respect. It was for that reason that I kept my urges a secret from everyone I cared about. I wanted to stay strong and would try to put all the responsibility on myself to keep it to myself, even attempted to keep it secret from my Lord despite my knowledge that such a thing was impossible.
But then, at the peak of my self-destruction, I have opened up in spite of my fears and insecurities, and I am on the road to my recovery. Only one person was convinced that I had been lying about it all, but at the same time was scared that in my crazed state I would come as far as to hurt them for whatever reason.

Not everyone who hurts themselves is doing it for attention. They feel weak and thus are convinced it's necessary to keep it to themselves in order to appear strong to their peers. Cutting is not the only form of self-harm. We believe it when people say "you are weak because you hurt yourself." We are in pain, we seek only a form of escape, so help us escape without bringing even more pain into our lives.

Feel free to use if you are/were in this situation.

P.S., the person who says I did it for attention was the reason behind why I had hurt myself in the first place.

Note: The text is supposed to be hard to read, the idea is putting emphasis on the words "hurt" and "attention"
