My advice motto is LISTEN-CARE-RESPOND! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF - we are stronger than we give ourselves credit for!
advice
ok well i cut and stuff but i really want to tell my mom about it because i meen i want to get help but i just was wondering like how could i like talk to her about it? me and my mom are like really close and stuff but i think it would like kill her! should i tell her or no?
Your Mom is likely to be freaked and upset, but ultimately, she will be SO thankful that you were able to come to her. Asking for help is sometimes the hardest thing in the world to do and I say you should tell her for sure. Two suggestions: Timing is important. Don't wait for the "perfect" time because there will never be a "perfect" time, but try to find a time when your Mom is not preoccupied with other things and when you know that she has the time to listen. (For example, on her way out the door to work - not a great time). My second suggestion is not to feel totally deflated by her initial reaction if it's not what you were expecting. Remember, you've had time to think about this conversation and choose your words. Your Mom will be hearing this for the first time and could possibly react in an illogical way. Telling her that you love her and trust her and that you are coming to her because you need help should be a good way to start your discussion. Best of luck to you!
