but cutting usually leads to suicide. and the more you keep doing it, the more likely you're going to kill yourself. can you not stop cutting yourself? that's really bad. just think, do you really want your life to be over? your family, friends, everyone would be so sad. you'd lose everything you've ever had. well i don't know if you're suicidal or not-you may say you're not but cutting usually ALWAYS leads to suicide (especially when you can't stop) unless you stop now!
when you aren't depressed or anything, just get like hide all sharp objects from your house. and idk maybe tell your mom to put a lock on the drawer full of kitchen knives..? lol that'll be pretty weird but just try to get away from them. but seriously wouldn't your mom like notice all of your cuts? wouldn't she have noticed by now? she is your mom after all. but sooner or later, she's going to notice, unless she never even looks at you. and if it gets more serious, you have to talk to someone about it, it doesn't have to be your mom or a counselor, it can just be like your friend or someone. but you have to stop cutting yourself, because cutting doesn't make your life any better, it makes it worse. good luck!!
