Family...

[PoisonedRazorBlades]

My family life has been shit lately. My mum is fighting with me almostn every day and today I got a letter about my next counselling appointment. But due to where it is and the time I'd be in school, and my mum at work. She's wanting the letter to phone and change it but I can't give her it cause she don't know about my self harming and it's mentioned in the letter. She got annoyed at me and yelled. Saying that I can make my own way there. I don't know what to do. I don't need her adding to stress atm. Her nagging me and making me more stressed is a main reason I keep relapsing.

I think you need to talk to her, and tell her. She might be more understanding if she knows what its about. She may alos stop shouting and argueing, cos she'll understand what the problem is better. communication is key in situations like this. It may seem daunting talking to her about it, but once its done its done, and you'll feel a million times better for it.

Well I have talked to her now. More beyond my control. Cause she came in shouting at me non-stop until I was sobbing. So she now knows. >.<

well I'd still talk to her about it, cos her finding out like that wasn't the best way for her to find out, obviously. talk to her, try to explain her everything, then say you want to get help and get better and thats why your seeing a counsellor. I think she'll appreciate it if you at least try to talk to her, and explain, even if you dont give all your reasons. I think anyway, I don't know your family, so she might react completely differently to how I'm saying. Use your own judgement to decide whether or not you should talk.

It's okay. Once finding out she calmed down and seemed to be understanding.

i think you'v got to the point where you really need to tel her about the self-harming, or maybe leave the letter someone where you know she will find it. so you dont actually have to tell her face to face?

shes going to find out sooner or later about your cutting.. you'v not relli got anuva option x
