I really enjoyed reading this, thank you so much for writing it! I work in mental health and detest the whole notion of 'attention seeking', 'connection seeking' is an amazing way of looking at it! If you ever want to write more about the topic of self-harm, I'd love if you were to submit to the publication I run, The Blade & Beyond!
