I did the same thing for ten years. If don't want to quit, nobody can make you. If you want to stop, tell the doctor. It sounds like you realize that this is not the best course of action. I will tell you from experience that the longer you do it the harder it is to stop. And, if you keep it for ten years, it damned near impossible to hide the scars. If you want to bs about it, feel free to write to email address.

I used to cut myself as well. And most people thought I had a "perfect life" and did not understand the pressures. When i did it, it felt good. I don't do it anymore because I told a person that I could trust and they pretty much saved my life. If I wouldn't have said something, I would not be alive today. Because I almost killed myself! DEAR KAYLA.... YOU NEED TO TELL SOMEONE THAT YOU TRUST! YOU WON'T REGRET IT! I DIDN'T! NOW I have made something of myself overcame it and am a successful business woman. I make around $50 an hour now and i kicked the depression in the ***! :-D AND YOU CAN TOO! If you need to, you can add me on yahoo messenger I want to help you get through this! I won't judge we have something in common! Add me sugar_baby616@yahoo.com and leave a message so i know its you! Please add me so we can talk I will be your friend!

Try telling him and your mother the truth. I'm may hurt your mom at first because she will think that its somthing she did but its most likely not. Tell her why you did it and let her get you help. If you lie about it and then just continue doing it, it will only hurt you worse and when your mom finds out she will be even more hurt at how long you have been keeping it from her. I know you think its easy for me to just write this and your going to think "ya right if you were in my positon you wouldn't do that" but I have been in your position. I cut myself to deep one time and was afraid to tell my mom because ... well i'm not sure why but I was also scared i was going to bleed to death. Anyways you can take my advice or not but you and me have something in common, we both need help.

You have got to get help. You need to talk with a psychaitrist. Don't worry about your mom. It's her job to deal with your problems. She'll deal with it ok. You can't keep this hidden. Sooner or later someone will find out. It is much better if you bring it up. Good luck.

I cut too, so i can see where your coming from. Just tell the doctor what they are from, they are not allowed to tell you mother by law unless they think you are suicidal or your going to hurt someone else.
They wil try and help you though if you tell them about it!
If you want someone to talk to that understands what your going through feel free to email me through my profile!
Good Luck

I say be honest. Your mom needs to know about this because you need help with what's going on.

You need to get mental help. Your mother won't understand, but I'm sure she will get you the mental help you need.
