Deneb, we know you're a real person, there's nothing to prove.
What I think happens here, is something I've mentioned to you before: you seem to think that you have to be in The Worst Pain Ever in order to get comfort, and that creates a lot of problems for you. Saying, "I hurt today" is actually enough for you to get support here -- and probably in real life, too. How about trying to avoid the superlatives, and learn how much support there is for you without them?
Also, I think we're not the ones who doubt you're real. What makes you doubt that you're real? Or do you doubt that we're real?
Here it is: we're all real people. And most of us have been in pain, and wanted comfort, and it's difficult to learn to ask for help appropriately. This is a pretty safe place to practice, and that might help you.
Good luck.
And JenStar has good advice for you. I strongly urge you to get help in real life -- find a therapist, get help telling your parents just enough that they can help you get the treatment you need and deserve.
