I think that I may be suffering from mental illness because I do a lot of self-harming behaviors but I am unable to get help due to the fact that I live in a third of country in the Caribbean and here in Trinidad we do have free mental health care but when I called asked about it they said unless I attempted suicide that I mostly likely would not be treated because I wouldn't qualify for mental health care my parents can afford private care but they refuse to due to the fact that they think my self-harm is just attention seeking and all of the other signs of mental illness are also displayed by them so they see it as normal. I just want to actually get better but I am unable to deal.
