How to tell my mom i'm a cutter?!


Question: How to tell my mom i'm a cutter?
don't say emo, don't say anything rude, mean, or pointless. I've been a cutter for months, i've tried to stop, many times, and i know i won't. I've tried to tell me mom on numerous occasions.... and she's not the listening type. Our relationship is weird, we are comfortable with each other, but i can't tell her anything. Not even that she would freak out and punish me or whatever, but because she won't care. She"ll just talk on the phone with my cousin and pretend like just because i got caught, means that i will stop, or that because she doesn't talk about, makes it go away. I don't even think that it crosses her mind how ****** up i really am. I'm anorexic, bulimic, paranoid, and a cutter. But nobody notices because i am a very good liar and i don't want them to know. But jesus, shouldn't my own MOTHER notice?? How do you NOT notice?? Even when i'm having an episode, where i'm hysterical crying the bathroom, screaming and punching the walls, she doesn't DO ANYTHING!!!! I don't know what i will take!!! I can't tell her because she will either ignore it or jsut not believe me, or dumb it down to a "teenage phase of insecurity" thats what she says to me.... Should i tell her? Should i keep it to myself and just try to deal with it on my own??? What the **** should i do. can somebody please just give me advice.

first of all your mom does care she probably just doesnt know how to deal with the situation and maybe you shouldnt tell her but it doesnt mean you shouldnt tell anyone go to your school guidence couselor they are trained to deal with these kind of situations and theyve probably dealt with much worse in other students also you could have your guidence counselor tell your mom sometimes when something like this comes from someone else or an adult the reality kind of sets in you should also start seeing a therapist or something to figure out the root f some of your problems and they can help with coping better



you clearly need help and thats great you recognize it. you've done everything you can to get her to help you. Sit her down, read her this is you have to, let her know you want her help. If still nothing, tell another trusted adult. You need to, theres no reason you need to deal with your issues alone. A school teacher, counselor, your doctor, a coach, a friends parent.



talk to the school councilor thats what i did and it worked out really well and i dont cut anymore not for the past 2 years



You should tell your mom and you should really get her to listen, not walk away from you and blame it on teenage phase.



get therapy,



if i were you, i'd talk to a school counselor. it sounds like your mom wouldn't take you to a therapist/psychologist, which is what you really need, so that's the closest thing you have. also, try to talk to a friend, just one, about what's going on in your life. it's hard to keep these kinds of problems to yourself, you should at least have one person who knows everything.

best of luck :/
