I also cut myself with a razor for the 1st time tonight. I feel really guilty but schools getting me really depressed because I have no friends and have a really hard time talking to others. should I tell my parents and will I get sent to the hospital?

Answers:

it seems that you are scared about getting sent to the hospital or having your behaviour make a huge commotion to the external world.
you must know that whether it may cause a commotion, it is the first step to getting better. Sometimes you have to step through the storm to get out of it.
u seem to want help because just posting a question about your troubles is a sign for help and that is a very good thing. The last you would want to do in this situation is to keep quiet. Cutting is worse than scratching, and puking can cause damage to your body. Although sometimes you feel alone in the world, your parents, your teacher etc. they are there for you. don't choose to be on your own to face this situation on your own but reach out for the support of others. Sometimes, more heads are better than one ;)



chances are they will send u too the hospital......are u seeing a psychologist? if are already seeing one for the eating disorder then there is no reason to tell your parents tell your psychologist and as for the cutting ask yourself a question do you want to die? if your not doing it with suicide in mind then again talk to ur psychologist about it...if its not life or death at this current moment and your seeing someone already then your parents will probably over react like most because they love you and arent trained to deal with stuff like that.......if your not seeing someone then yes tell them because then they can help you



Yes tell your parents about it.

BTW, puking? Is that to lose weight or do you enjoy the feeling? IF you are trying to lose weight there are easier ways than puking, you won't accomplish much by puking. All you are doing is hurting your vocal chords for future uses.

If you want friends all you have to do is join an activity that you enjoy doing. Start running to get fit. Eat healthy. Get a hobby. I promise you that if you do these things you will not hurt anymore. You will make more friends and live happily ever after!



Talk to someone at least, perhaps the school councellor, maybe save youre parents as a last result cause otherwise they might become too involved and lose trust in u.

If youre having a rough time at school, one good thing u cud do is try and occupy yourself and try new things like learning a musical instrument, playing a sport, martial art, cartoon drawing, anything, especially if they have clubs at ur school ir local halls that u cud look up, cause this will introduce u to new people and help build confidence and keep your mind focused on more positive things, and all within your free time.



tell them. the future after is scary. and you can make friends. :) you just got one. branch yourself out. and cutting, its not good. you were made for a reason not just to destroy yourself. puking, exersize. itsfun if you find a hobby. everyone has on. mine is volleyball. yours may be soccer,tennis,swimming,art, or whatever! express yourself in ways not hurting yourself. try art. get out your feelings. i wish you the very best friend :)



You need let them know how you feel what you going though you need them to help and support you and get help. I will be praying you get the strength to over come your situation and know you not alone. God loves you



Don't tell them. They might do something stupid like try to get you help that you don't need.



Tell them. It's only for your own well-being.
