No absolutely not. We self harmers will always have people that say I don't believe you etc. That does not mean you should prove them wrong and get worse. Because in the end it's not a "see I told you" monent after, you just get worse until an accident occurs you can't take back. Why do you want/need him to believe you so bad? Are you seeking help or have other motives?

I understand this so so much, I sometimes still get into that headspace when it comes to my mother and wanting her to see the severity in my suffering. But something someone told me was that when it comes to parents like that, who are in denial of their children’s illnesses and are always thinking about what is “worse”, it’s rare that they’ll ever see different. Hell, I’d be in urgent care getting stitches and my mom would comment on the scars that “weren’t so bad”, which made me once again think about how I could do more. How I COULD be worse. But again..with parents like that it’d just be a endless cycle of destruction that you don’t deserve because your pain is valid and just because they choose to deny what you’re truly going through does not mean it’s not enough, it is. The fact you feel the need to do more already indicates enough how much pain you’re in
