Realizing your feelings and what you are facing is the first step to want to get better!. Your Mum probably has noticed stuff about you and is worried but just won't say!. If she hasn't said anything maybe she just doesn't know how to approach you!. Talk to your Mum and you will feel better just letting her know about what you are dealing with inside yourself!. I am sure that she will help you because being a Mum she only wants the best for you, including good help!. Make your move and I wish you luck with your recovery!. Don't give up, I too suffered from depression about 2 years ago!. I overcame it but having faith in yourself that you want to get better is one of the biggest things!. Have faith, you will be better once you talk to your doctor!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Heya
It is very difficult for people to admit to someone that they harm themselves because there is usually so much shame and guilt that goes along with it!. It's important to try and remind yourself that there is no shame in what you are doing and that it's okay to reach out and ask for help!. In order to help yourself overcome this, you need to want to stop the behavior and you need to find a therapist that you like and trust to help you deal with the underlying issues causing you to do this to yourself!. Sometimes treatment may also involve the use of medications such as Xanax and Klonopin!. Hypnosis and relaxation techniques can also be helpful, and in extreme cases, hospitalization might be required for a short period of time!. If there are support groups in your area, you may want to think about joining them for extra support!.
Well is there one parent your closer too!? One that you feel you can open up to alittle more!? If so I would, pull that parent to the side and tell him/her!. He or she really needs to know, and can help you approach the other parent about the situation!. If your closeness to your parents is about the same, then ask to speak to both of them, and just word it calmly but directly, don't beat around the bush!. They need to know, so they can guide and help you threw this!.!.!.
I hope i helped, and good luck if you ever need someone to talk to me email is always open feel free!.

Chances are, she knows you're unhappy and she feels as lost trying to figure out how to talk to you as you do!. I cut for several years, and it took a long time before I asked for help, and it took a log time before I stopped feeling the urges!. My parents were no help- back then, it wasn't something most people were familiar with and my parents just yelled at me whenever they caught me, undoubtedly out of frustration and confusion!.
I have always found it easiest to talk in a car- you don't have to look at each other and the pressure to respond or leave isn't an option!. Let her know that you're talking to her because you want help!. Let her know if there's something she can do to help you or make it easier on you!. If you're not suicidal (you don't say if you are or not), let her know that because that will probably be one of her biggest concerns!.
I cut because it helped me- it let me feel and it made the pain I felt all over go away, for a short time at least!. People who have not experienced this cannot really understand it (and I certainly DO NOT recommend people start!), so know that she probably won't react exactly how you want her to!.
If she won't listen or if you just need to talk to someone first, talk to your school counselor or a teacher you feel connected to or look into free mental health facilities in your area!.

Well first there is no reason to cut yourself because it doesn't help, it just brings more pain!. and second just sit her down and talk to her!. but beware because it might be a little weird at first, but she will do the best she can to help you!. And also she might already know, and will probably ask a million questions about why you do that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you should tell your mum as soon as possible so that you can get better!. she will probably be angry but only because she wants to protect you!. she'll probably be glad that you had the guts to tell her!.
good luck! remember that someone out there will always love you-especially your mum!.xxxWww@Answer-Health@Com

Go to her now and she will be understanding of your problem, if you feel you cannot do this , then go to a relative/ friend or make an appointment with your GP!. You have just made the first step of your journey, well done!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Show her your question on here & start a discussion with her!. Then you can tell her that you are suffering from this problem!. I am sure she will be understanding!.
