noone seems to understand

I've been self-harming for a few years now and my parents found out about a year back because I needed stitches... they flipped out and have decided I'm part of a self-harm ring which is crazy, I don't know anyone else who does this so where that got that from I don't know...
Anyway my girlfriend always tries to talk to me about it and she's done all this research which is fine but whenever she does talk to me she reels out these statistics and it feels like she's put in a box or something. Like he's not talking to me, Steve, but to a Repetitive Self-Harmer who etc etc etc
And she didn't used to be like this, she used to be ok but a month back she had to take me to accident and emergency and since then she's just gone wierd.
And so there's noone who understands that I can talk to...
how can I get them to change?

Definitely talk to a therapist. It might not help you with the cutting right away, but it will show your parents and girlfriend that you take them seriously. At the same time, if you're seeing a professional, you can let them all know that treating your problem is not their job; they should love and support you, and it would probably be easier for them to do that if they knew you were seeking help.
