My parents found out i still cut.

[survivor]

My parents thought I stopped cutting almost two years ago. I haven't obviously, but i have douchy friends that when they see I've been cutting again they pull me aside tellme there story and go get a guidance counselor:confused:. Now my parents know that I haven't stopped cutting and I know that I have to find a better way to hide my cuts so even my " best friends" can't see them. I'm really scared that my parents are going to treat me differently or that my sorry excuse for a sister is going to find out. What do I do? I'm just really stresse right now.

Hun, I know you didn't want your parents to find out, but they're only concerned for your own safety. They love you and they don't want to see you hurting yourself. Who knows, they may even think that they're the reason you self harm, and may blame themselves for it. I would talk to them to see how they feel about it, because it can be a hard thing for parents to accept. And, personally, I would suggest taking your friends' advice and going to go see a counselor or someone who can help you stop, and help you through this rough time in life, and this addiction. Regardless of what you do, everyone here will be here to care about you and support you though.

I'm scared to talk to them about them. A few years back they found out I was cutting, but at that time I was also suicidal and they got really scared. I'm not suicidal anymore, but I'm scared of what my parents think.

I know it's a hard thing to do, but I would still recommend talking to them about it. They love you and care about you hun, and in all honesty they're probably still scared. They may even think it's their fault that you cut--and can you imagine, if they did, how horrible and torn up they would feel on the inside? They only want what's best for you.

I know I need to talk to them, but I'm still scared and upset. I was just scared of there reaction, I don't want to be in the hospital again. And now my parents are being really nosey and my dad is getting mad easily. My arents are going behind my back to find stuff out about my life. They asked my guidance counselor if I had complained about anyone, and they asked my sister if me and my ex were back together. They're taking it too far and I'm scared to tell them that its just how I handle really bad stress. Also, I don't know if they can stand hearing that; I feel like they want to blame someone for my sh, but can't find someone to blame.
