My mom found out I was cutting and force me into therapy? ?!


Question: My mom found out I was cutting and force me into therapy!? !?
And yeah it basically sucks a lot and it's not working out for me because I am a total listener more than a talker, so her and I just kind of sit awkwardly in silence the whole time!. I have told my mom that I'm just not ready to change yet, and that self-injury may not be her cup of tea, but I just can't force myself to want to change!. She is convinced that spending 34925803485 dollars for nothing is doing me good!. What can I do!? Www@Answer-Health@Com

As a mum myself and a mental health worker, I can understand how worried your mum must be about you!. I think I also understand how you feel about being forced into therapy!. Noone likes to be forced to do anything!. When I was drinking I didn't like people telling me I had to stop and from what I understand, the feelings around why some people drink and other people cut are very similar!.

I'm not going to tell you about the risks etc!. I'm sure you already know that!. All I can suggest is to FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT!. Try and talk to your therapist, even if it is just conversation about your day etc!. Try to act like you want therapy!. You might just learn something!. I think we can learn something from every experience in our lives!. I know it is hard for you!. You must be in a lot of emotional pain!. Just try!. My very best wishes to youWww@Answer-Health@Com

Don't worry - the silence will get to you and you will open up to your therapist!. They are trained to sit in silence, silence also speaks louder than words, its hard to hear your own words when your mind is a hurricane, so by trying to find words to break the silence, you are trying to calm the hurriance which is in itself, therapeutic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Make the best of what you have!. I have therapy too, and it's practically useless, but if you don't talk, it's even more useless!.

Just don't say anything that could get you in a mental hospital, since the therapist has a legal obligation to "protect" you in that way if necessary!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Have you thought that maybe it's not working for you because you aren't letting it/don't want to change!.

Cutting isn't healthy and it is good your seeing someone even though you don't think it is!. Try and talk to the lady!.

I hope you do get help, even if it's not your cup of teaWww@Answer-Health@Com

Cuttig yourself isn't healthy!. Don't you know she's trying to show you she cares the only way she may know how!. I don't think you're a listener at all or you might being soaking up some of the love that's being shown to you!. Be grateful that you have a mother that gives a crap!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

realize that you mother cares about you a lot, (enough to spend a kajillion dollars on worthless therapy in an attempt at therapy) and that she'll be there for you when your ready to change!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
