you're on the right track with the therapist. force your mom to listen. keep talking even if she tries to blow you of or ignore you. tell her how you feel and don't let her stop you until your done. you are only 13. you have plenty to live for stop cutting now. if your mom won't pay attention make new friends. try to find a support group. any phone number you can call for help will be much better than yahoo answers, and they are all free. don't add drugs and alcohol to the problem like some of these morons have told you. that is the worst thing you can do.

The only thing I can tell u is pray. I was never a cutter but I went through a very small depresson. If u don't believe in a God then I'm srry myb it's time to pick up a Bible and start. That's the only way I can think of to solve your problem. I'm srry if your offened by my answer.

Sounds like you need to call your therapist and have a long talk. When you do, be very very honest what is happening to you, including any issues with your Mother.
In the meantime, check information for a crisis center or mental health center that has a 24 hour phone line.

why the hell do you cut yourself......life is awesome! Go wakeup in the early morning and take a long walk and think about everything thats happening in your life.....you not emo so dont act like it. Dude trust me im 13 and cutting is terrible...sometimes you dont need ur parents to get by something you just have to belive in your self and help yourself out....when your in therpry think about what they are saying just dont blow it off. When you get mad just lock yourself in your room turn up the radio and do you hair and makeup...than after you will probly be fine or when your mad watch tv or something...Its better if you go to church too! just dont cut yourself that is reallllyyyyy dumb!

MAUREEN...
CALL THE HOT LINE THAT WAS GIVEN ABOVE IF YOU NEED TO TALK...
BUT YOU REALLY NEED TO SEE YOUR DOCTOR BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE MEDS HE IS GIVING YOU ARE NOT WORKING.
THERE ARE MEDS THAT CAN HELP...
YOU NEED TO BE IN THERAPY MORE OFTEN IF YOUR STILL CUTTING BUT, IT WON'T WORK IF YOUR NOT HONEST...
MAKE SURE YOU LIKE THE PERSON IF NOT GET ANOTHER ONE...
YOUR MOM JUST DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS SITUATION IT IS PROBABLE SCARING HER KNOWING HER CHILD IS HURTING HERSELF AND SHE CAN'T FIX IT.
ONLY YOU CAN....
TRY FAMILY THERAPY...
SO SHE KNOWS HOW YOU FEEL.
HANG IN THERE .....
GO TO THE DOCTOR TELL HIM YOUR NOT DOING GOOD...
THERE IS HOPE...
I HAVE SEEN IT...
YOU JUST HAVE TO WANT IT AND ASK FOR IT....
GOOD LUCK...

The problem with a compulsion is that if you can;t figure out how to break the cycle, you are doomed to repeat it.
Do you want to die? If mom won;t help, find a sympathetic adult (where is dad?)

well for starters i agree w/ you therapy doesn't help at all it sucks & ive been there done that its hell... but for one dont get high or w/e itll just get worse but if im sounding rude or anything im sorry i just trying to help someone like me... but join clubs, play sports, make more friends, hang out w/ them as much as posible! i kno it sounds stupid & unbelivably obvious, it helps more than any medicine ever could in my opinion!

man thats harsh..I mean im no therapist..but thats not good..but before you diagnose yourself for anything..you should ask yourself WHY you're cutting yourself..do you know why? if you do..work from there..when you're mom does that..find something else to keep you busy..call a friend you're close to..go for a walk...excersize..working out helps you vent out anger..like a punching bag...cutting is not the way to go, trust me, and it'll only hurt yourself and your family
