I've Started Cutting Again

[LostAndBroken]

So, a few years ago I was actually put in a mental hospital for a week because of self harming and depression. I feel like I'm going back down that road again. I've cut here and there still over the years, but now I've started significantly again. My parents are going through a divorce and I broke up with my boyfriend of over 4 1/2 years. I'm very hurt, he has nothing to do with me anymore. I hide my hurt from my parents because I don't want them to feel like it's their fault. I flat out don't know what to do anymore...

You should talk to your parents. Maybe they can get you help to stop again. I know you said you don't want them to feel like it's their fault, but they need to know you need help again. I'm sure they didn't think the addiction was just going to go away. I'm sorry I can't be of more help :/

I'm sure this must be quite a scary time for you, try and slow down a little, take 5 minutes out and just breathe. I know parents splitting up is horrible, as are breakups but these things level out, they get easier to deal with. It's up to you if you want to maybe talk to your parents and get some help before you are back in the hospital or try and calm down and let things even out on your own, getting the help would be the better option but I know it's horrible to feel like you're staring down the same road again :hug3:
