My parents want to put me in a metal hospital...

*mental hospital. I can't spell sorry

Anyway I've been a cutter for years now, and about 6 months ago my parents found out. They made me try and stop so I tried, but after a month I relapsed and couldn't cope, so I overdosed and got put in hospital. I was only there for a few days and I'm in therapy but I'm still getting worse. My parents just found out that I feel the same and their freaking out.
For some reason there blaming one of my friends. He's really nice and has had similar problems but they think he's weird and a bad influence . A lot of my Mates have had past issues and now I can't see them anymore even though spending time with then makes me happy. I explained this but they don't care.
They say they dont know what to do with me and want me to go bck to hospital where I won't be able to see anyone, Becuase they think it'll make me better. This was kinda a rant do thanks to anyone that read this.
What the hell doin do?
I do want to stop but I can't cope without it right now.

It seems as though it might be good for you. If you can't stop on your own, you do need help. I don't really know what to say about your parents. You really need to communicate better with each other. Family therapy can help with that. I know that for some people therapy sounds like it's for weak people but it's really not. I have no idea where I'd be today without it b

Maybe it's better for you if you do go get help. But the fact that they wont let you see your friends and that makes you happy is pretty messed up. You guys should be able to compromise.

Let your parents know how you feel. I'm sorry if you don't communicate well, your parents are just being average parents. Do your best until you can find a compromise. I feel really bad for you. My time in the mental hospital was hell but some people I know didn't mind it, ot depends on your personality.

Your parents are worried for your future, to them, your their life and they want to keep you forever. Going to this hospital might help you, you might even be put on anti depressants, which will be the best thing for you. You will feel better about yourself and your life, you will even have a better outlook on yourself and your life. Their only doing this cause they love you and want the best for you.

Your parents are worried about you. It's not that they don't care it's that they care too much. Parents have alot of questions to ask when their child self-harms and overdoses. They have a tendency to try and blame other things.

When I first overdosed and ended up in hospital my mum tried to blame all sorts of things. The music I listen too, the internet, taking drugs (i'd never even taken drugs at that point). They look for answers whereever they can. It's a normal reaction from a parent.

Maybe you could talk to your therapist about the mental hospital? See if she thinks it'd be beneficial for you, and if she doesn't, get her to talk to your parents, and also to explain to them that cutting is not easy to just stop, and is something you need too do over time.

I'm always here to PM if you want. I've been through hospitalisations from overdoses, cutting and my parents silly reactions to both :p So I understand. :)
