Answer 2

It's not going to be easy but if you were my child I would want you to come to me when I am not stressing about something else and when I can actually sit down and listen to you.
I would want my child to come to me and say. . . . "Mom,I think I need some help."
The conversation would go from there.
Don't be too shocked at her reaction when giving her the news. . . you have had time to digest this situation and at this time you would be literally dumping it on her and she is having to digest the situation in a matter of seconds.
Maybe if you sat down and wrote a detailed letter about the situation and left if for her to read while you are at school/work,things might go alittle smoother as it would give her time to get over the shock factor and do some thinking of what the solutions for this may be.( Leave it where you know that only your Mom will find it and find it NOW. Leave it on her mirror in her bathroom,on her bed,in her purse or in her car.)
At the end of the letter you might write. . . Mom,I don't know whatelse to do but I need your help and I want to talk to you when I get home.

My friend went through a similar problem, i know this is tough but you need to tell her as she can help you stop these things. I think the easiest way to tell her would be to write a letter then hand it to her, and you could leave the house or go in a different room while she reads it, but come back as soon as she's had time to read it because you dont want to leave her stressing out on her own.

Or you could get someone else to tell her, just find a way that you are comfortable with. Good luck :)

First of all that is terrible hon you need help right away!!!! I had to tell my dad when I was feeling very depressed and cutting as well and it was very tough. My advice is get it over with as early as you can. I put it off way too long. It is such a relief to get it out! Once you tell your mom you feel loads better and she will be able to help you get through. What you need to do is get her at a time when she isn't too busy and tell her it is very important and you need to talk to her. Maybe go over in your head beforehand what you are going to say. Tell her what you are doing and how you are feeling. It will be hard but just do it. There is no right or wrong way to do this, just take a deep breath and do it. You want to get it out and stop as soon as you can. Trust me. And put aloe on the cuts, once you realize what you have been doing, you will feel foolish and never want anyone to see them.

Answer 5

There's no easy way to tell any mom something like this but now that I am a mom I know I would rather my child talked to me and told me things. I have always been very open with both of my children and because of that they come to me with pretty much everything, I know your mom loves you and will want to help you. There will most likely be tears but I think you just need to ask her to come into your room, close the door and say mom I have to talk to you, I love you and I need some help....and just don't stop talking until its all out. Every life is precious but none is more precious to a mother than that of her child.... I hope you will be ok, don't be scared, just talk to her, remember she loves you. I hope you will get the help you need before something bad happens to you, this is very serious and dangerous. My prayers are with you.

Answer 6

Well , pretty soon the med staff at the hospital will be calling her because you are nearly off the edge.
I guess it is your choice -
Tell her you have some problems and reallyyyy need to talk alone and soon OR . . .
Wait until you've collapsed (maybe she'll find you after you've passed away) or someone else will and she'll hear it from the hospital staff or morgue staff.

You might suffer a lot less if you tell her you need a long talk for problems as soon as possible.

Say, "Mom that I've been popping pills, cutting, and throwiing up". Trust me, she wants to know.
