How to tell someone about my cutting?

Hi. I used to cut myself when I was a miner, under 16yrs old.. This was kept soly to myself, I used cutting myself as a form of relief, I somehow got it into my head that this was to help the pain go away when in fact all it did was leave me with scars and painfull cuts that had to be treated later on. I was unable to cominicate with other as I didnt know how to, I was put into care for my own safty, as time went on the cuts got worse, until I started to see a counciler, I saw many as not all are suited to you, but the one I saw in the end clicked, the cutting is not the answer, think about how you feel when you have cut yourself and why you are cutting yourself, only when you recongnise your feeling will you be able to control them, you will learn with your counciler that you have to comunicate, even if you just say, I AM FEELING ANGRY, she/he will take you through the basic steps in helping you to explain your feelings, it really is a slow process but believe me you will get there in the end, one little step at a time.. I wish you all the very best… your first big step is to tell your counciler or someone you feel you can talk to. take that very brave first step…

Cutting eventually becomes the solution to everything… even stupid little things… Like violetstar said, there’s something deeper that’s wrong… you need to fix that before the cutting will stop. Try this website, its pretty good with the alternatives and stuff… but honestly, you really need to deal with the bigger issue or else you’ll probably symptom substitute… http://www.palace.net/~llama/psych/injury.html As for your councelor, there’s something called client privelege… unless you are a threat to yourself they really are supposed to keep your information private, but im not sure how that relates to minors… you could ask him/her whether they have to keep your information private and under what circumstances… cutting does not automatically break this confidentiality agreement as you are not under immediate threat of harm… Try getting more information from 1800 DONT CUT

well yah its because im depressed but sometimes I cut just because it helps me feel alive what do I do I don’t know if I trust the councler

it sucks not being able to let anyone know, you feel like exploding! I want to cry but I cant, so I cut. I have this huge fear of letting anyone know, affraid they will disaprove, affraid to see the expression on their faces if they found out, it makes me sick thinking about it. them staring at me with disaproving eyes. I feel; guilty like I’ve done some thing wrong, I know I have. but how can I stop this act of cruelty to myself? the question wonders through my brain like a virus, but the trueth is im affraid, affraid of myself.

if you ever need anyone to talk to im here xx aryn

I will talk to anyone about it but my parents they CAN NOT no

My best friend that I have known for 9 years is not a cutter because depression runs in his family, Please tell someone as soon as possible my friend is on the verge of death and Please don’t turn out like him. Sit down with your parents and tell them gently even though I no this could be hard, your parents love you more than any other perosn in the world and they will understand eventually, Your health is the most important thing so please do me and yourself a favor and let your parents in on the secret. If you have someone else that you feel more comfortable with an adult because they can help you better then tell them and they can tell your parents. I have dealt with cutting myself and I realized how stupid it was and I am frightened by pain now, and could never think about cutting myself ever again or any type of self injury.

man, i no this is old, but i just read all this lol. but if she calls that number and her parents have caller id, then they will see that she called that #.

man, this is an old question. lol. i would’ve responded earlier, but i just saw it. i hope your not still cutting. are you?
