Maybe telling her the truth is the best thing to do if you really want to keep it private because then you can tell her how you don't want anyone to know. Seems like she will find out soon so you may aswell tell her now, although I can understand why that is difficult.

Try not to worry too much, its good your mum knows because now she can help you. As kathy said if you tell your mum you dont want other people to know then I'm sure she will respect your wishes. Just think, isnt it better your mum finding out this way then when you've cut too deep and need to go to the hopsital?

Maybe all you need to do is tell your mum you will talk when your ready, and dont let her nag away at you to tell her whats going on.

I'm sure you will be on the road to recovery soon and things will start to look up :)

Try not to worry :hug:

Sometimes parents need to know. When they finally notice the scars is usually when it has finally come to a point where Yes. It's time for others to know. That's just how it is, in my opinion. Because for a parent to be able to miss the scars for so long there must be a true reason behind it. Such as it just wasn't time for you to get help yet (I sound really wrong about this but it's how i see it). You should let her find out.

A boy once walked in front of my house cutting his wrists and laid down in the middle of the road to "bleed to death". After the incident was over (the boy had barely cut himself---He was just seeking the attention, sadly) I had to listen to my mother go on and on about how the parents of children who cut are responsible for it and how those children deserve to be in mental hospitals. It detered my completely from ever wanting to tell her of my cutting or any of the problems I deal with. But heres the deal: It shouldn't. And I've realised that. If she knows she WILL NOT freak out on you. The motherly part kicks in when its a womans "Own baby" being hurt by something and all those other thoughts leave. If she is telling people what she saw then you might want to confront her about it now, before it escalates beyond and she realizes on her own that what she saw was not just a fluke.
