problem solved
but why would you "really want" to tell your mom

One thing I learned, you do not lie about it. Prepare for some misunderstanding and a few questions regarding "why." Just build of the courage to tell your mother. If you are worried about it, get the low down on how she may react from an aunt or uncle--someone that knows her. Tell them of your problems and see how they react. That way you can prepare mentally. When I told my mother, it was in therapy. DO NOT lie about it, again. Tell her the whole truth. My mom cussed me out from the way out of the therapist's office, trust me. I wish you the best of luck, love. I'm glad you are reaching out for help.

Ask her for a girls day out and on your way home tell her what a great day you had and that there's something you want to tell her...say something like "Mom, I get really sad about things and I let it out but cutting myself." and show her the scars. ACTUALLY don't do it while she's driving, wait until you pull into your driveway before you get out of the car, tell her.

I'll start out with the obvious: it's not going to be easy. It was probably one of the most difficult things I've done in my life. But with me, I just cried for about an hour and told her the entire time that there was something I had to tell her. I eventually just did it. She'll probably ask you a bunch of questions... she's your mom, she probably can't help but be worried about you. However, if you ever need help, you can email me at katsherwood13@yahoo.com

Peace. Kat.

I think the best thing to do is just tell her straight out and tell her why you do it I don't think she'll put you in a mental hospital but you'll probably start seeing a therapist(trust me there not that bad) hope you the best:)
