I am a cutter, but am afraid to go to a councelor or my parents.
Hi. My name is destiny. i am 14 and i started cutting a few months ago. i know its not right to hurt myself but i cant help it. I am homeschooled. My mom teaches me. My brother has a traumatic brain injury. i am adopted so that is how he has the brain injury. He gets on my nerves, he critisizes me and if i do something wrong, most of the time its something so simple like forgetting to do something, my mom yells and i feel stupid and worthless. My mom has avery stressful life and i try to help all i can but i feel like i always screw things up. i feel soooo stressed out and to top it off there was this boy in school was about to ask me out, i reallly like him, and now o cant even talk to him. im hurting inside and out. i feel hopeless. my mom almost caught me last night and know i need help but i am shy and have a hard time showing my emotions. i can usually talk to my mom but with this i cant.

You shouldn't be afraid to go to a counselor or your parents. I thought the same thing when I was cutting. I refused to go to the counselor, and then I had no choice. Someone I trusted told the counselor about me, and I had to start seeing one. It was only at school, and I only saw her about twice a month, but it did sort of work for me.
I did show my mom once, but she never really got me help. I don't even think she knew how to. It was something she had never dealt with before, but she did care.
I really think you should tell your parents about this so that they can get you help. Just tell them you've been cutting and that you would really like some help for it. Let me tell you now - if you continue to cut, and do not get any help for it, it'll get worse, and it will eventually kill you.
If you really need someone to talk to, you can e-mail me. I've been through this exact same thing (cutting, issues at home) and I can probably help to some extent, but you really need to get help from a therapist, sweetie. It's for your own good. My e-mail is: 123abchristina@gmail.com
E-mail me for more help if you need it. Make sure you tell your parents before this gets out of hand. You can really hurt yourself (even if you don't intend to) and cutting has lots of consequences.

If you don't talk to your mom, talk to someone...talk to me :) lol...I know life is hard and everyone has their problems that they are faced with. I think either counseling would help, or a really good friend. You don't HAVE to explain the whole cutting thing at first, but let problems get off your chest; Let someone else feel the emotion you are feeling. Build up your self esteem and forget about what everyone, even your brother, is saying. Live life- happily :)
