I couldn't help thinking that if I hurt myself that i would get some attention

Hi well i need some help well, not just some but a lot of help. I haven't been feeling so much on the noticed side for like 7 months because whenever I do something right i get the regular answer congrats and the day moves on when ever I do something bad I get yelled at and that's it. Well, I couldn't take it in like the end of may to the point where I couldn't sleep very well. One night I tossed and turned and had night mares. Well, I couldn't help thinking that if I hurt myself that i would get some attention. Well, I must confess I've purposely sprained my finger and stuff before. Well, I just remembered how much attention I had gotten when I fractured my foot in 2 different places. So well, I did what i had to do. I went downstairs to get a drink. But, I couldn't help but see a hammer on the top of the fridge. So, I beat my ankle with it and sprained it badly. Well, I'm now feeling the same way. Should I tell my parents? What should I do? Plz help.

It is important to speak with your parents about how you feel and how it makes you feel when they do not notice you. Please speak with them, it is not healthy that you harm yourself to get attention. Its better to waist your time speaking to them about how you can all be closer than to beat my ankle with a hammer!

 

Look all parent yell at their kids more when they do something wrong! Its cos they care and they are trying to teach you right and wrong. But yes you are right, it is important and nice if they reward you when you do something good. SO speak to them about this!!! I am sure that everything will sort itself out, but it is not going to unless you do something positive to help rather than something destructive about it.

 

Positive attracts a POSITIVE OUTCOME!

Destructive attracts a DESTRUCTIVE OUTCOME!

 

Good Luck
