I cut myself.
I'm currently in therapy and getting help.
My parents don't know about it.
They don't need to know about my cutting. I'm getting help. And I'd really rather they never found out.
If anyone has ideas on how to hide the cuts, please tell me.
solidadvice4teens answered Wednesday July 11 2007, 12:02 am: You may be able to hide the cuts but you cannot hide your problem from them forever. They are responsible for your well-being and need to know that you were cutting, the reasons why and that you are working on it with your therapist.
If they notice the scars from the cuts which will happen eventually or if another adult or your friend brings it to their attention before you tell the truth they'll be angrier still. You need to admit to them what has been going on and that you told your therapist and are getting help.
You really need their support as this is a meantl health issue that just cannot be hidden. I wouldn't try to hid the cuts from mom and dad or the real problem as there's secrets we should keep and this sin't one of them.
They may be upset at first but they'll support you and help you even further when it comes to therapy and seeing a psychiatrist. Hide the cuts from the view of others but not thew problem from people like your family who can help.
I know you don't want them to find out but they need to. It's the only way to get well as this type of mental issue is always telling you to hide the truth from those who want to help and can. You need them and their support here. It's a hell of a burden for you to tackle with a therapist on your own. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

a little piece of advice: dont cut yourself its not worth it. youre jsut hurting yourself and it will only seem like its helping you for a while, while your really hurting yourself more.

or even .. wrist bands. tell your parents you style is changing and what not if you don't normally do this.
at least you're smart and are getting help.

Shortcake22 answered Sunday July 8 2007, 10:59 pm: You didn't specify where the cuts are, so I'm going to assume they are on your wrists. Wear long sleves. Or wear something on your wrists, such as bracelets, hair ties, wristbands, or a watch.
I really urge you to tell your parents. If you really want to get better, their support will be very helpful. Please, at least consider it. Good luck, and Congrats on getting help. [ Shortcake22's advice column | Ask Shortcake22 A Question ]
