You self injured once.
You do not have a complex yet.
You are also apparently intelligent enough to realize that this is not an answer to your problems.
Think about what caused you to want to do that. Think about the answers you got to your previous question.
If you choose to do it a second time, or want to and want to stop yourself, talk to a school counselor. Honestly, its easier sometimes to start with an adult who isnt your parents. They can help you find the words you want to say when you need to tell others and they can help you figure out what to do from there (and help your parents too).
The school counselors do have to tell your parents I believe, just so you know. So talk to them and tell them that you want to speak to them first, before they bring your parents into it. But your parents do need to know as well. ]
tell your school counselor!
that way, she will tell your parents and likely they won't be as mad because the counselor can explain it to them. (or you could tell her not to tell your parents)
She'll probably make you an appointment with a therapist, too...
Don't be afraid to be in therapy- i'm in therapy for depression/anxiety disorders and a social phobia, and it's not weird or anything. It's basically just talking to someone.
It'll make you feel better to talk to someone who will listen.
what were you doing? cutting? i've tried cutting before and it didn't help me at all :( ]
