Oh and to fellow teens coming from a 11th grade DONT CUT! It's addictive like a drug and it's also hard to quit! (no i don't and never will do drugs but im just saying) You could also accidently kill yourself!

A psychologist is a very good choice, but you have to be committed to healing. You should read some of my questions on happiness. Just by asking these questions and receiving responses, it has helped me to not have a so negative outlook on life. I was feeling depressed a lot, but their advice has helped me out much. You don't get better right away. It takes some time or just a sudden realization of the obvious. You will get there, but you have to be strong enough to not cut and seek other more healthy ways to deal with your emotions.

I am not a teen any more, but I was a cutter when I was ateen and well into my adult life. I found that I was cutting because it reminded me that I was able to feel and that I was alive even though I really didn't feel like I was. As for growing out of it? I don' think you do. It becomes a habbit and a comfort issue when there seems to be no one else to understand. For me, I think I also did it so other people could see just how bad I was hurting. You need to find someone you can confide in that listen to how you feel and not try to give advise. Some times we just need some one that will listen. You have to come to an understanding with yourself that you do not have complete control over every aspect of your life. Everyone has feelings and there are times that you will have the happiest feelings and the sadest feelings. I have been through alot in my life from physical and sexual abuse to placing my daughter for adoption. I have made it this far in life and so can you. It is a hard journey but with help we can all make it. I did not have a family to really care if anything happened to me but it sounds like you do. Your mom is concerned and she has the right to be. If you don't want to be institutionalized you may need to see a counsilor. The first counsilor is not alwys right so you may need to go to a couple, which can be frustrating, but hang in there and you can make it through. there is poem that my social worker gave me that I often think of when I am slipping.
If I can endure for this minute
whatever is happening to me
no matter how dark the moment
or how heavy my heart might be
If I can but keep on believing what I know in my heart is true
that darkness will fade with the morning
and that this will pass away to
then nothing can ever disturb me
or fill me with uncertain fear
for as sure as night brings the dawning
my morning is bound to appear.
I hope this helps.

My best friend in the entire world has issues with cutting. She is 30 now and still does this on a regualr basis, it has morphed from cutting into picking. She picks her face, scalp, arms and legs. Anything at all. While you do not want to go to the hospital you do need to talk to someone somewhere and find out why you even need this type of release, and try to find something that is not harmful to you to help you deal with stress and depression. Take it seriously and get some help, you do not want to end up 30 with the problem progressing like that.

You will grow out of it. Just remember if you cut too deep you will end up in the hospital and maybe die. Stop doing it. You will learn eventually and have scars to look back on that you are not proud of. And it makes you look crazy.

I don't think a hospital will do you much good, anyway.
A therapist? Much better.
