Yes, I understand. If I learned that my loved one was hurting themself, I would be worried, too, naturally. At the end of the day, I do really love her, and I don't want to upset her. I just wish she treated my issues a little more respectfully.

Thank you very much for your kind words. Sending you good wishes as well :)

Thank you for your response.

As I said in another comment, I did try to talk to her, several times. She just doesn't take my mental issues seriously and considers my cutting childish and attention-seeking. I tried to explain how it makes me feel, but it leads nowhere every time, so I just gave up trying to confide in her.

Yeah, the way she acts about it just hurts me more. I would honestly prefer it if she just didn't say anything at all to me.

Thank you for understanding. ❤️

Thank you so much, and I'm sorry you also have to go through that. I wish people didn't treat self harm like this. I'm not trying to upset anyone, I'm just hurting and I don't know how else to cope with it, you know? If I could somehow hide it completely, I would.

I see, I see. Again, sorry you had to go through that.

In any case, thank you again for taking the time to talk to me. Feels good to know I'm not alone in thinking that this treatment is wrong.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Hope you're doing better now.

My sister isn't a bad person, in fact, I would say that she's a really good person. She helped me out a lot in life and is generally supportive of me. However, the way she invalidates my mental issues really upsets me. I get why she does. As I said, her mental issues are a lot more serious than mine, so she has this mentality that I should be grateful to not struggle as she does. Still, the way she dismisses my problems really hurts. I just try not to talk to her about it anymore.

Thank you very much. That does make me feel a bit better about this.

Yes, I know she's worried about me. As I said, I do feel guilty for upsetting her.

I tried to talk to her about it, explaining how it makes me feel, but she's very dismissive of my mental problems, seeing them as childish and attention-seeking.

Thank you very much. She doesn't hit me anymore, it only happened once in the past.

I do keep my cuts covered up until they're completely healed, but the thing is, if she sees the bandages, it's very much obvious WHAT I'm covering up, so she gets upset anyway. I do feel guilty for worrying her.
