Urgent help needed

[beebs]

So late last night i cut in my room, and i couldnt go put my bloddy tissue in the bin so i put it under my mattrice, and in the morning it had fallen out and my mum saw, she woke me up and asked what it was, i said i has a nose bleed last night, i think she brought it, but im petriffied what will happen and what she'll say to me when she gets home from work...

Help me

Um... cutting is really bad for you. If I was your mum I would probably freak out. I would go and tell you that you shouldn't do it and ask you why you were cutting. I would also have an appointment set up with you to visit a counsellor.

Also, you probably oughtn't to lie to her about it. Just don't bring the issue up and if she brings it up... you might as well tell her that you had a nose bleed. But serioiusly... you shouldn't lie to her, ever, she's your mum and she's there to support you. But if she would overreact... idk its really your choice.

I doubt she'll say anything if you think she bought it.
Was this a relapse?

[jbraud]

if she says anything, you can either tell her you had a nose bleed again, or you can tell her the truth-recommended. i've been in a similar situation, but i kept lying to my mom, and the result was 3 and a half bad years that i could've prevented. tellin her the truth may seem bad short-term, but in the long run it can be very helpful.

i think the ultimate solution would be to try to quit. then you wouldnt have to worry about hiding bloody tissues from your mom, and it will save you from having many unwanted scars now and later in life. not to mention it's very a very unhealthy thing to do.


if you want to try to quit, me and many many others are here to help.

It isn't that easy for someone to just quit. Of course, that is already most people's goal soon after they start self harming, and they know the repercussions later in life, and I don't think spelling that out was really necessary.
With that aside...

Would you ever consider seeing someone, or do you at least have anyone you can talk to about this?

[Smeagol]

Probably isolating the problem first would help. Do you know why you cut yourself?

If you see a school counselor, they don't necessary have to know, I believe.

And it is always good to have someone just to talk it over with, that usually helps the most.

I've had a similar situation happen to me...

I think the best thing to do is wait it out.

If she asks you, tell her the truth. Don't lie... Because then what if she finds out? That would make everything ten times worse.

I'm so sorry this happened to you!

Do your really trust the friends you talk to about this?

OK, then here is a suggestion.

Write everything you are feeling (everything everything), and keep a journal. It could be online so nobody could have any chance of finding it, or whatever you'd like. Whenever you see them, read the entries to them, and just talk to them about it. This always seems to help if you just want someone there to know exactly how you are feeling.
