Alyssa, I work on a psychiatric unit at a hospital so I know a little bit of what you are going through!. You write that you will not go to therapy, you don't want your mom to know, and you won't talk to a school counselor - that pretty much limits you at ever getting better!. Being a "cutter", as we refer to people like you in mental health, is a very serious mental health issue and you need mental health professionals to help you!. There isn't any advice that I, or anyone, can give you other than to let an adult know and then get the professional help you need!. I cringe anytime I see a patient come onto my unit who has cut themselves repeatedly - it sometimes leaves ugly scars that is hard to imagine someone inflicting the cuts that caused them!. Anyway, please talk to an adult - you are young and someone needs to help you get help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
ok, as much as you DONT wan to, you really should tell your mom, she could help you, she wouldnt be mad or anything, maybe upset, but if you she would understand and help you!. also if you decide not to tell her, get involved in activities, wgich will take your mind off things, and ask your best friend for help, your mom will probably respond the same as her!. Don't give up hope - you CAN stop!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
