I think the best thing to do is sit down with her and tell her. She will cry, most likely, yes but she will know. You have told her this once before so maybe she might handle it differently this time. Who knows...

I think you would be doing both you and your mother an injustice by not telling her.

Just sit down and say "Mom, I have something I want to talk to you about..."

I told her. She took one of my blades away, but she didnt freak.

Good, she might, quit possibly become your biggest supporter in all of this...

I agree you should tell her. Even though it will hurt her and she probably won't understand it will get rid of the guilty feelings.
When I told my dad he didn't talk to me and did not understand why I was doing that to myself. But once my counselor and I explained it to him; he started to back off of me. Telling the ones we love that we are hurting ourselves as a coping mechanism is hard. And, it will never get easy. You can do it! Just stay calm and remember to breathe when you talk to her. Try to stay strong.
