Last friday i relapsed, Ive reallly been trying to stop SH. There was alot of blood and i just felt horrible, So i went up to my mom and told her and showed her my arm... it was a really hard thing to do. She was really accepting and just want to make sure i take care of it so it heals well.. but she also wants me to see a therapist for my anxiety (a reason why i self harm).

The thing is that everytime she leaves me home alone before she leaves she says a RUDE remark that really hurts me like
oh don't make your arm any worse than it already is.
you gonna prick yourself with needles while im gone?
or i will say something like "what time is your party?" and she will say why are you planning to look for the razor blades i hid from you?

idk what to do!! what shes saying is really bothering me.
to be honest telling my mom made me not want to cut anymore, it made me realize alot. She thinks im still doing it!

Advice??

Tell her it bothers you and/or ask her to stop. That's what I would do.

That's really insensitive of her, If she's trying to help she shouldn't be saying stuff like that. Like said above tell her to stop, I know it's hard but just say that you don't like them and it's not helping you. Show her that you have stopped, I mean if she's going to bother you that much about it then why not?

It sounds like she wants to help you, so she probably doesn't realise that what she's saying is hurtful. It's insensitive of her, but I don't think she realises it. I think the best thing to do would be to tell her that it bothers you. Maybe say it's a very sensitive issue for you, and that the way she talks about it bothers you? I think she'll stop once you tell her, because she obviously wants to help you recover, and if you say that her not saying things like this will help, then that's probably what she'll do.
