things have just gone from bad to worse at home ever since my mother found out about my SH, she constantly makes jokes about me and it calling me insane, a psychopath, that I should be put away....

I just cant deal with her or life anymore, i feel so....done, just done with it all. I just want everything to end just for it all to stop, i dont want to do anything anymore, even the things i used to love, i just feel like....whats the point.

and i havent stopped cutting even tho my mothers doing daily check of my arms, she never thought to check any other part of my body, so my cuttings gotten worse too, like everyday 15+ deep cuts

I just cant deal with it all anymore, i just want to give up forcing myself to act normal, like im okay, i just want for everything to stop, would the world really be such a terrible place if i was no longer in it?

Don't give up. Parents make everything harder because they don't understand. When my mom found out about my cutting she actually told me I was doing it wrong then laughed and changed the subject like it never happened. It gets easier.

Never give up. My mum recently found out about my cuts and wast supportive at all. They don't know how to deal with it, there own child, there own flesh and blood harming themselves, they are probably shocked by it and your mum probably can't understand it. Maybe she wants you to get help. I know how your mum reacted isn't the best reaction and you need support but don't give up because of the things she said. Deep down, your mum wouldn't want you to give up and if your friends knew then they would want you to keep trying. Never give up because when your older you will look back and think that giving up was the biggest regret of your life. Im always here if you wanna chat.

Self-harm is extremely difficult to understand if you don't have first hand experience, that is one thing i've learnt through my 2 years of cutting.

Parents always react badly. I guess it's just part of there way of blocking it out, and pretending it's not happening. Of course it's not the right way to react at all. They don't understand, and what they say shouldn't be taken in consideration.

However, you can use the fact she knows. Maybe try and talk to her at some point about getting yourself some professional help? Talking to a professional could potentially help a lot, and perhaps if the professional can talk to your parents they'll be able to make her understand more?

Keep strong. I know this is cliche but you have your whole future ahead of you. You only have a few years until you'll be moving out, and then everything changes. I know it's hard now but keep going with that thought. Everything will change. Giving up now only means that you'll never see all this suffering become worth it.
