I'm going to run away

[xXoblivionXx]

Well since I have relapsed my counselor is going to ask if I have cut since the last time we met and I am going to say yes. I can't lie that will ruin the whole trust thing but he is going to tell my parents... I'm scared to death. If he calls my parents I'm going to run, run until my feet bleed, run where no one will find me, run away from all of this shit. I can't do it anymore. No one wants me here. I need to get out of here before I slit my veins open and bleed out...

I WANT you here. You will be ok. Things will work out. Maybe if your parents find out you will get more help then just a school counselor? You really need to see a real therapist. Hun things will be ok. I promise. Just take a deep breath and try to relax. If you lie....just make sure he never finds out

[xXoblivionXx]

He asks me to roll up my sleeves so he can check...

You know you don't want to do that. How is that going to help you stop? It would end up with you being kidnapped, starving in the streets, or even worse.

Be truthful with him, he is there to help you.

Oh.... Maybe you should switch to your legs if you do continue to cut....they cant check your thighs :) but good luck let me know how it goes!!!

Therapists dont have the right to make you show them. so just dont i told my old therapist i didnt want to show her and she was fine with it. also she never asked me to tell her when i did it or ever spoke to my parents.
if you dont like your therapist then change him!

[Unbroken]

I don't think its a good idea to lie to your therapist or refuse to show him. He's trying to help you and I'm sure your parents are too, try talking to your parents before you go to see your therapist to warn them in advance if they love you then they should support you.

Fuck I feel like this is my fault. I'm sorry I never should have made that post

A school counselor is a bit different then a therapist. I think you need to see a therapist.... it could help

Here (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=95110) is a thread that deals with running away.

I know things may seem like nothing is going right but the thing is, people want to help you. Legally, many professionals need to tell your parents if you are harming yourself. But they also want what's best for you. Your parents finding out can be stressful but ultimately, you have to hope your parents will be there to support you.

If you run away, there will be no one to support you. You can't survive on your own just because one incident has made things overwhelming. Running away is not the answer to things. Sometimes, in order to make things better, you need to face the hard parts head on as they come. You'll be stronger by the end and you'll have gotten help.

PM me if you ever need to talk. :)

Running away won't solve your shit it will make it worse. Plus, you haven't organised and you aren't well prepared for you runaway. Don't do stupid things and don't act impulsive. Think and it will lead you to an answer.

Yes it may not be the greatest idea, but it is what she feels like doing. She came here to vent and get some help. Not judgment. Its hard place she is in. Its not fun dealing with the feelings that she is dealing with. I am in the same place as her. Please show some compassion, not judgement

Please show some compassion, not judgement I'm sorry, but it's of utmost importance that she understands the dangers.

I literally have seen this happen in my town in the news; and do you know what happened to those girls?

Me neither, they've been missing for over 3 years now. :(

She can't ever consider running away, it is the worst thing you can do to yourself...

[xXoblivionXx]

Thanks everyone for replying. I didn't have an appointment today so I didn't have to lie or run. But I am going to have an appointment sometime this week :( I just don't know what to do... I'm scared, really scared.

Destructive Impulse, this is not your fault you had ever right to make that post. I have been feeling like this since before your post. Don't feel responsible for this.

We're here to provide insight on what consequences these actions may lead to and offer advice on safer alternatives. No one here is judging. Regardless of how hard a place someone is in, running away (especially impulsively) is never the answer and often just leads to more trouble later on.
