Sweetie, tell your parents, show em your scars. Sure, they may freak out, cry, yell, wonder where they went wrong, whether your mental.....You shouldn't be trying to win this battle alone. It's not for attention, but a silent cry for help. The cutting gives you some sense of control and order in your life. The inner pain can be overwhelming, while the cutting releases endorphens. I wasn't a self harmer, well I was, but in a different way. Years ago I became anorexic and an alcoholic. The starvation gave me a sense of control at a time I felt I had none. I was going thru divorce at 25 with three tiny children. And the booze gave me a sense of false endorphens that eventually spiralled out of control. And what's so bad about seeing a psychologist? Their not going to send big Bertha in to fit you for a straight jacket, believe me! I finally went to the doc, saw a "shrink" too, got on some antidepressents . I have a mere chemical imbalance that needed more than just a counselor. Please go tell your parents. You will be soooo glad not to have to face this difficult time in your life. ok? Hugs to you honey!!!!!!!

It's absolutely necessary that you get professional help about this cutting stuff. You know yourself that it's not healthy. You should also talk with your family about this destructive habit. What are you trying to say to yourself? to your family? It's time to grow up about this and do something so that you really can stop.

I needed help his year for major depression.
Prayer didn't help me because I "knew" that God hated me.
Trying to bring myself out of it didn't help either.
I had to go to my physician and find a counselor and psychiatrist.
I was able to stop the meds almost one month ago and I'm still doing OK.
Counseling was what helped me the most, the meds just kept me alive so the counseling would work.
