help...

[Mymistakewasgold]

I know i'm depressed.
I stopped cutting a while back but i just did it recently.
It wasn't bad, just a scratch, but it was something.
I know i need help but i am terrified to tell someone.
I've never been in therapy, and i don't know if i really need it, but its worth a try.
My mom already knows about the cutting but she thinks it stopped.
I really am afraid of getting worse.
I finally want help, but i don't know how to ask for it.

You just have to be truthfull with your family and tell them that you have still been cutting im sure they wont be angry with you as you have been truthfull with them. Therapy does really help for these kind of things and im sure it will help you if you want help.

he's right, the fact that they already know you have cut will make it easier, tell them you messed up and you want to get better, it will be scary but you will feel so much better with the support of your family.

Take a deep breath, and go up to your folks and tell them that you feel really badly and want to get some therapy. Explain that you're struggling to feel better and need some help.

If your mom alredy knows of your cutting, regardless of the time frame, she's aware that there's something already there, so it won't be a total shock to her, and she'll likely recognize that you need some help.

A lot of people are 'afraid' of therapy, I think it's more a vague fear of the unknown, of something new, but mostly, I think it's the fear of actually talking about the stuff that's bothering you, the fear of reliving it. But (and this is the biggie) you're not reliving it alone, you're with a trained, caring professional who can help fix it.

Go tell your mom.

Therapy, is not a problem. If you go, you can decided whether it's for you or if it's not. It helped me and i was so adamant to NOT talk to some1 and then i went to therapy and it helped me in many ways. You're mom loves you, YOU wanting to heal is the first step to stopping, and healing. You NEED tell her, that u think ur backsliding, before you sink ne further. That first cut is an opening for many others to follow. Tell her in ne way u can, when i talk to my mom, i write it down for her, it's easier that way. But tell her NOW, when it's YOU making the first step when YOU'RE in charge.
