i have been SI'n since i was very young & i still do it. im 25 & even tho im not SI'n, i have learned ways to cope. i do DBT & its very intense.check my videos out if you want. has some of my personal thoughts on this subject. i try to educate people about SI , especially parents in my area. its a tough subject for parents to understand & it can be really lonely. when id cut, my mom would take whatever i had away & id go & find something else, & most likely it would be a worse tool. she still doesn't understand why i do what i do. hang in there hon.
do you write? journaling might help. i journal online, am in chat groups & i make videos on youtube about SI. do something to distract yourself. if you want to watch some videos on SI ,let me know..
Yes you need to tell them so that they can help you. If they don't know how to help you then it will be easier for them to encourage you to take you to the proper venues where you can be helped. THEY NEED TO KNOW.
Tell them you need their help and then explain what you are doing and what is going on in your head, and if you've thought about it, what you would like to do about it.
you just do it...you just say hey mom, dad, I need to talk to you, I need your help....please listen and help me.
Aww...first of all, I'm sorry for you having to go through this without your parents for 4 years. You need to tell them so they can help you through this. You know they love you and they want to help you so what are you worried about?
just tell your parents that u hav this problem that u want 2 tell them but not 2 get mad that ur just telling them becuase u know that u need help and then tell them.....that will work......please tell me asa.......it would be better and if u dont want 2 tell ur parent then tell ur doctor......tell someone u trust!!!!!
ok. you need to tell them why you are doing this to yourself. just tell them stright up the truth and how you feel. they r ur parents and they will try to understand..
please go and talk to your parents , if you cant go and see other family members or a close friend. i hope you do go and get help all the best.
you sit both of your parents down. you say to them both that you have a serious problem and you need their support and you need to get help. they'll only want to help. they don't want to see you hurting. and u'll feel so much better once you know that ur going to get help and that you don't have to hide is anymore.
I had the same problem a year ago when I was 21. I told my Dad first because I felt more comfortable with him, then asked him to tell my Mom. I also told him in the car when we were on a 2 hour drive. It made it easier because it was quite and we were alone no matter what. I know it sounds hard but just sit down with them , or one of them, and tell them what has been going on. You say you are 17, how did you hide the scares, if any, from your family for 4 years?
Best wishes.

Personally, I'm very distant from my parents and I thought there was no way I could talk to them about it. But it kept getting worse, and it looked like I was going to really start doing some damage (several of my cuts would have needed stitching up if I had gotten help for them.) Since I couldn't tell them myself, I wrote a note, and told them about how I was feeling.
More accurately, I wrote a note and gave it to the school counsellor, who called my parents and told them for me. Trust me, getting help will make you feel a lot better in the end. Good luck!
well you test them first for there discresion and see if there goin to respect your thoughts if so confide in them if not ring a help line n they might be abel to assist you in yiour time of need
Tell a friend first if that helps you, or another trusted adult.
