OK hon, calm down. I used to cut at your age because I didn't think anyone understood what I was going through. The reason cutting seems to help is that it helps release your mental pain and 'numb' you through the physical sensation caused by the cutting.
This is called 'dissociation' is a really counter productive way of coping with mental problems. The thing is, cutting will only provide you will short term relief as the things that cause you to be upset are still there.
So you need to slow down and talk to an adult about why you're stressed and cutting. Be honest when you talk to them because if they don't know whats wrong, they can't understand and help properly.
If you think you can't talk to either of your parents, maybe your aunt or uncle would be a good place to get some support from, and I think that you should talk to you a teacher or your school guidance counsellor because they are trained to deal with this and it'll be confidential.
Tell someone you know and trust in real life. It doesn't have to be a parent. Just someone who is an adult and whom you feel safe telling this too.
Also if possible try to get some therapy.
From one person who's self esteem isn't too great to another, people do care you just have to find them.
Please talk to someone, in real life that you trust not just on the internet. A teacher that you trust or a school counselor, if your not comfortable talking with your mom then find an adult that is safe to talk to and tell them whats going on with you. I think that you need somebody to help you get through all of these stressful things that are going on in your life. I would find somebody to talk to right away TODAY, before things get out of hand. Good Luck to you.
you have to tell someone that you know can help you because you could go to far you can go to a rehabilitation center for cutters
Do you have a school counselor? They legally can't tell your parents if you go to see them, or you could talk to your regular doctor about what's going on in your life, he can't tell them either. I understand what you are going through, I started cutting when I was 13 and I cut myself all the way until I was 19 years old. I still have urges but I get through them. You know the thing about cutting is it's a way of dealing with stressful situations so that you feel you have control over some aspect of your life. You should get help now, I cut myself one time and accidentally severed an artery and almost died. Don't start doing drugs either. I graduated and got good grades but man do I wish I could have taken back all those years, I really missed out on life.
i cut to i no i should not do it but i feel that its the only way out. but do u feel that way to?
