When are self harm cuts valid?
I feel like people generally don't consider more shallow small cuts as a valid form of self harm. I had to show a nurse my cuts the other day, and he showed no concern, even seemed a bit annoyed. Probably because he thought I had serious cuts and was dissapointed that it was just cowardly "larping" cuts. My parents also don't care. They saw my cuts before and they just look annoyed. They don't care if I continue or not.
I had a mental break the other day and thought about seeking therapy. But after seeing the scars people have here and seeing the nurse be annoyed, I decided against it. I am most likely just being overdramatic and should just fix things myself. But I just want a definitive answer. Because people always say that all SH is valid and that there is nothing wrong with seeking help. But the same people always look annoyed and dissapointed when they find out my problems aren't serious.
So, do you all think that shallow small cuts like these are valid, or is it honestly not that serious? I just need a definitive answer.
