Parents found out!!!!

[lyriclover]

My mom hacked my facebook and read all my messages, some of whih included me telling a friend I cut. I live with my dad but she told him. He hasn't mentioned it and I haven't seen her. I'm sure the next time I see her she's going to interrogate me. If she checks my arms and legs she'll see that there's still a cut healing, so I can't say I quit. They're gonna try making me go to a shrink. I don't like medical people of any kind. If I go to a shrink they will have to drag me there. What do I do?????

Lovely, talking to a professional is going to help you. It's scary, but it will help. Your parents have the absolute best for you in mind. They aren't doing this as punishment. It may be what you need to break free of this addiction, and create healthy ways to deal with emotional pain, and also help you get rid of some of that pain as well. I say give it a go, not just one or two sessions, but a few. The first few will just be the counselor getting to know you and your situation. You don't even have to talk about your cutting, you can just vent about situations giving you difficulty in your life. They all want to help you, it's their job, your parents and the therapists.

My parents are the biggest reason I cut. They're verbally abusive. Im getting help but not from a professional. I don't won't and never will trust shrinks. I can lie my way out of any situation and I fully plan on doing so.

Then tell that to the therapist. While this therapist may not be a psychologist, they are trained and equip enough to handle and help you through your situation. "Shrinks" aren't bad, they have gone into higher education to learn how to help, and now dedicate their entire careers to help other people, like you, you just have to let them in. I don't think that's bad in anyway.

If you lie your way out of this, you will go home and nothing will change, you'll keep cutting and keep getting worse, your parents will still treat you the same, and you'll still get sader and sader. Just give it a try.

I have 3 1/2 years til I can leave. The person I'm talking to told me the best would probably be just to wait it out. The person I'm talking to is a teacher. She's risking a lot helping me. My parents are really cheap. The'll find the cheapest ghetto shrink they can. My regular doctor tells me I'm gonna die every time I see her and there's nothing wrong with me. My parents have the money but they won't spend it on me cuz to them I'm not worth it.

Okay lets put it like this... I have a huge fear of medical people of any kind. I don't trust people unless I've known them for a long time. It's inpossible to put me in a room with someone I don't know and me actually tell them something.

I see you're from New York. New York has amazing educational systems, including the teachers and counselors. Take advantage of someone who you recognize more, like a teacher that inspires you or guideance counselors. Maybe the school therapist. That way you can tell the adult what's happening and tell them not to call your parents if you don't want to. Usually they have to but they might be able to break the rules. Maybe telling someone in a place where the surroundings are familiar will help you. Otherwise, a professional couldn't hurt...

One of my teachers know and she's helping a lot, but everything was centered on my parents never finding out.

Gaining unauthorized access to a computer system is illegal in the United States and violates federal law. Being a minor doesn't automatically allow your parents to gain access to an online service you hold an account with, in the future I'd suggest that you use a stronger password, and ensure your parents cannot access your email account (password reset emails etc...). The only exception to this rule is if your parents appeal to a state level authority (police dept) and ask them to request a warrant from a judge to gain access to your account, which no judge is going to do without a good reason. If I were in your situation, I'd warn my parents never to do such a thing again, and inform them that their actions were illegal.

:yawn:My mom found out because my best friend told my sister and then my sister told my mom and she saw the scares and started to take me to a shrink i did not like the thought of it but after the 5th time i finally opened up so if your mom sees the scares it is not that bad she will be mad and lecher you but deep down inside she i really happy that wat you did didnot kill you and she caught it in time the next time you see your mom you need to talk to her before she starts and if that means she takes you to a shrink so be it that is her way of saying she loves you and you need help and she wants to help in anyway.
