Being an adult self harmer can be tough and people can be idiots about it. My ex told me to grow up and stop being immature and cutting myself when I broke up with her. I've talked about it at work and I've gotten strange looks when I said I had done it recently once... I'm sorry that even the professionals are giving you a hard time...They didn't get the proper training and that's on them. I hope things get better for you soon. You are not alone. It is not a childish, faze, whatever else they want to say about it...It's a serious addiction. Age doesn't matter. It doesn't make you childish or whatever else they want to say about you ....
