I really want help for my cutting but i dont know how to get help. besides my friends should i tell someone? i CANT let my parents know and most people would go and tell my parents. and without my parents knowing i cant join a support group or see a counselor. what should i do!?!?!?! Thank you SO much!!!!!
I would only tell people that you trust. I understand why you don't want to tell your parents, and if you are able to get over it without them knowing, then there isn't a reason to tell them now unless you want to. But you be the judge about that.
Do you have a school psychologist? I don't know if they would tell... I know that they are obligated to tell if someone's life is in danger, but you check out what your school says about that.
There are many support websites for cutting in which you can contact other people who self-injure. Here are a few that might help you:
dailystrength.org (Did you check this out? It has message boards, private messages, online journals, hugs from other members, and other features. Cutting is one of the groups.)
