What To Do?

[JustAmay]

I'm new to this, like twenty minutes ago I joined?, so I don't really know what to say. But i saw that you could talk about self-harming and other things..

Two years ago I started cutting, I couldn't stop, but then I got caught by my mum, she tried to sit down and talk about it but I refused to say anything, in the end I stopped though because I saw it effected my mum and my boyfriend, a lot.
Ever since then I can't really talk to my mum about anything personal, I find it weird.
I've been seeing a counselor for other reasons for the last few months, but things have made me start cutting again - I want to be able to tell somebody but the last time I did my friend didn't help and I'm scared of what my counselor will do or if he'll tell my mum.
Do you think I should tell my counselor, a different person or try something else?
And saying I should talk to my mum isn't a suggestion - I just can't do that.
Thanks if you can help.. :)

Well unfortunately, you'll have to talk to her. They'll find out sooner or later, they always do.

Talk to your counsellor, if you aren't causing serious damage it is unlikely he would have to tell your mother. And he won't be able to help you to his full capability if he doesn't know the entire truth.

I understand why you wouldn't want to talk to your mum, but Matt is right she will end up finding out, I thought I could hide it I got caught out, twice.
Think about telling her, but explaining you'd rather not talk about it you'll do that with your counsellor.

I agree with the other posts. Tell your counsellor and that will allow you to get the best help. If telling your mum in person is too hard, trying writing it all down in a letter and giving that to her?

Thanks for the replies.
I'm going to try and talk to the counselor about it - if he doesn't tell my mum, I'll try to tell her but I know she'll get angry and not talk to me for awhile 'cos this has happened before..
