Cutting
Okay....so i cut. it's really starting to upset me and the more upset i get...the more i cut. I think i'm depressed but i can't tell for sure. the two people i told are threatening to tell my mom, and i don't know if i should tell her or not. She wouldn't really listen..she'd just try to get me help and that's the last thing i want. what should i do??

I have been a cutter since I was 5 years old. I'm now 35.
Cutting is an addiction. And with any addiction, like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, a person cannot beat it on their own. You have to get help. I know it's scary to talk to someone about it, but it's necessary. If you don't you could end up so stressed and freaked out one day that you end up cutting too deep or in the wrong place and kill yourself.
Your mom would want to get you help because it's the right thing to do. But don't not get help because you're afraid they will lock you away or whatever. That's not the way it works at all. A therapist is a good person than can help you talk through and work through your stresses and find other ways to deal with them other than cutting.
And like with all addicitons, you may fall off the wagon and cut again every once in a while, but that's normal.
But can't do it by yourself, hun. Trust me, I know.
Hope this helps.
