Therapy not an option?!


Question: i am a very addictive person. currently im addicted to cutting and vicodin. ive had a really tough year for various reasons. my grandmother died and she was like my second parent. my mom became really depressed about it and took all her anger out on me. my dad came back and expects me to take him back like the rest of my family did. and i started to resort to cutting. then when my friends hassled me about cutting so much i started to take pills to make myself feel better. after time the pills were an issue with them too. and so i started this retarded combination of both. my mom confronted (yelled) at me about my cutting last week even though i havent cut in about a month.my life is kind of falling apart. i cant see a therapist because i dont trust that they wont tell my mom about everything im actually doing. she doesnt know about all my cutting just a on my arms. and she definately doesnt know about my addiction to pills. i really dont know what to do. can i just get some advice?

Ouch !!!! I never understand why people hurt themselves... As for the pill thing,,, I understand that... it seems like it takes the pain away... However,,, it doesn't... it just prolongs it.. as soon as the pill wears off, you realize stuff is still the same... so, you have to take more pills... Am I right??? I think so... I personally know this myself... And, guess what??? As long as you keep it up, your life will go nowhere... you will stay at the same place (pain wise and all)... my opinion from personal experience... As for your family situation... I suggest talking,,, or even screaming at them (so that they will listen)... It is not right for anyone to blame you for anything, or take out anger on you... If you did something wrong, live up to it... however, if you didn't, don't take their crap... As for the father coming back into your life,,, it's totally up to you - - - - let him in your life, or don't ... you know what's right for you..... and, hurting yourself because of others stupidity is NOT right... Oh, one more thing... go to a mental health clinic... walk in and tell them that you need to be seen - that you have some issues... they will have you fill out papers, and they will take care of you... (counseling and such)... the best part of it is,,, they will find you the right kind of medication for your feelings... (sometimes it takes them a couple tries,,, but, soon you will feel better...)
Best part of that is,,,,, your friends can't give you any **** about popping pills... the doctors will prescribe you them...
You will feel mentally better... able to think more clearly...
And,,, the doctors can't say, or call, or whatever to your parents,,,,,,, unless you give them permission to do so... It is all there on the papers you fill out... It will ask if you give permission to share the info with anyone,,, SAY NO... It will say if you let anyone have the rights to make decisions for you... SAY NO>>> your parents will never know...
I do suggest though, after you are feeling better, ,,, at your own pace,,,,,, you let them know what you have gone through... I don't know your parents..... However, I do know that we can all make it with , or without our parents... we just have to be strong.`

See a therapist. You know it would help.

The good news is:.................

The therapist can't tell your Mom anything; it's illegal and unethical for them to violate the confidence you entrust them with.

Good luck!!

You want just some advice to fix an addictive personality??
Get real, kid!!
Go back to therapy. If you don't, you're looking at a life full of hell.

well it seems to me like u need some friends to hang out with some friends and start doing something thats fun and distracts u and stop cutting and takin pills little by little

ok..you need help. i am a very messed up person too tho so i will not be judgemental. you are cutting because you are blocking feelings according to every shrink i have ever seen. physical pain helps up forget about emotional pain....blah blah blah..pills help dull all the pain..but they destroy our liver and we cant live without a liver...so i want you to try this link....you give all the fake personal info you want just make sure you give em the real info on the important stuff or they cant really help.

these guys help me...cuz even tho i got a great husband who tries so hard to make me ok and does really stupid stuff with the best of intention just to make me happy...there are things i just get too embarrassed to share with even him. and i cant afford to see a shrink everyday..so they help...and honestly i think they have better advice than my dr most days

No matter how many clever questions you ask, you'll never get a fully satisfactory set of answers. Some things can be learned only from experience... and some things are simply not worth experiencing.though, where there is a suspicion that you may be on to an idea that's worth pursuing. Overcome your reticence and curb your enthusiasm too. Simply conduct some kind of careful, limited, hands-on trial. Only a practical experiment will reveal a meaningful answer.
