Institutionalize wrote I don't know why you seem to want to argue with someone that's trying to help you have a brighter outlook? Do you prefer to stay depressed?

I am not depressed any longer lol

This is the story of my depression.

Meh, I'm not saying I disagree that the majority of people do it for attention, but I don't think it's useless for the people who do it for real reasons.
I like getting tattoos because the pain makes it difficult to think about anything else. I can only guess that people cut themselves for the same reprieve.

I'm not saying it's a good thing to do but - in terms of the practicality of doing it to help yourself stop thinking about something else - it isn't useless, or for no reason.

See I myself have never understood cutting as I never did it. I did however overdose more than once trying to end my own life.

I did it because I didnt wanna feel anything. Taking any kind of sleeping pill made me unable to think straight and just sleep.

To me, self harm and attempt/vomiting suicide is selfish. A kid that went to my school shot himself in the head. But he did in fact survive somehow. But when he shot himself, his older and baby sister went running downstairs to see their brother on the ground in a puddle of blood. To me, you're going to put others through pain because you can't/ haven't looked hard enough for a solution. Depression can be changed. But it's not going to change by its self. You have to change for it to stop.

It is almost impossible to think rationally in that sense when you are on the brink of suicide:

It's all mind games, but like you said the road is a long one. Just gotta be the best person you possibly can, surround yourself with positive people and I'm sure the outcome will be great. Keep your chin up, bud.

Though i vaguely see your point. If you have ever been through depression or suicidal thoughts then you would understand that yes it is selfish in some sense. But it is not on purpose.
The thoughts of your family are something that may cross your mind but if you find yourself at the point in which you hate your life and everything in it so much that you are willing to end it then how your family will feel is not something that will hold many back.
I am not saying you are wrong, but just be a bit less careless with the statement, "suicide is selfish".

it takes a lot of guts to put that out here on the internet. I respect that a lot

Not being active or not being around anybody when your depressed is a big game changer mate if you hang wit friends and do stuff out In the community to get your time off things you will be good being alone and away from everyone is never the right thing to do
