Answers:
I read your profile. You lead a pretty miserable life, don't you? Well, I'm sure your counselor has told you this----but you are the only one who can change that. If you want to be miserable, then continue to live in the past and be a victim. If you really want help, then you you have to be honest and tell your parents---no more living a lie (they think you haven't started cutting again) and WANT to stop being a victim. Start being a SURVIVOR.
Anyone who you think will help understand and not make fun of you or judge you harshly. The right answer would be Yes
Absolutely! I was a cutter too - for about 7 years. My parents finally found out and got me some help. You don't have to feel that way - there are other ways to deal with the pain. Please tell your parents so they can get you some professional help. I know it's hard, but you'll feel so much better. Please email me if you want to talk about it -
Yes you should tell them. And they will probably take you to a shrink so that they can help you get to the root of what's making cut. I strongly recommend you tell them as soon as possible.
Get involved with something that satisfies your need for attention.
i think you should tell your mum and dad. I had a close friend that used to cut her self and she told her mum and theres some really great groups out there that help alot. and if your not comfortable going alone to the group most of them normally let you take a friend as support...check out your local hospitals or crisis groups i know they helped my friend alot :D
If you feel the need to tell your parents, you may first want to let them know that it isn't a suicide attempt, or wasn't. You should also check out some sites on cutting. Get information from your psychologist. A lot of people, especially women, cut themselves because it releases endorphins that can help relieve stress. There are probably better ways of stress relief, and are better ways to get a good flow of endorphins going, but that's honestly none of my business. You do what you feel comfortable with. Here's a link that may help...
Your parents have the right to know all that is causeing problems in your life, they care but may not show it in the way you would like. Try telling them your concerns and ask for their help in finding a lasting solution to this. Cutting is not the answer, someday you will cause massive damage to yourself and your parents emotional state will be very hurt.
Please talk to your parents and work out this problem, nothing is to much for love to work out and if you believe in God of any kind, allow that to be your leaning post in times of stress and problems. Self destruction is not the way.
definitely you tell your parents. you should also be seeing a psychologist or a psychiatrist to find out why you do this and how to stop this behaviour. it is a dangerous behaviour to have. you need help to stop it. you need to find a safer way to deal with issues in your life before they build up to where you get to this point to need to cut yourself.
Ok I do not want to come off to you as someone who is preaching by no means first and foremost, because I am not judging you. I want to share my own testimony with you and hope that will help you in this matter. I was raised in church, but I wasn't always a Christian, quite the opposite. I was molested as a child, and my father died at a very young age (21/2 yrs) ANyway, at about the age of 12 or 13 I became very rebellious. I look ack and now know I was just angry and I think looking back I was angry at God. But anyway I started getting into the drug lifestyle, and although I wasn't cutting I did have my own vice which was escapism. I had this F**K the world attitude to everyone, and had no time for God or people who told me about him. Well, I started selling drugs and in my small town at the age of 15 through the age of about 23 you didn't get drugs in my town without going trhough me and my little "thuggish wannabe" clique. I am telling you all this because inside I was hurting, as it sounds like to me for whatever reasons known only by you and those closest to you that you probably are too. Anyway, one day when skipping out of work (after already going) I had to get a ride back to the hotel where we were put up in with our jobs, and God showed up. I was really confused at thispoint in my life, and DGod had indeeed begun to deal with me. Well, the guy who gave me a ride was a Christian, and started telling me about God. Well, time and time again as we sat in the truck and spoke (well he spoke) about God a question would come up and before I could ask it, he would answer it even if he had to totally change the thread of conversation to do so. It was what I now know as a Christian as a "God moment". Well, I went into the hotel room flushed about an ounce of weed and gave my life to God. I then went back to my old stomping grounds and tried to live for God. It lasted for about a year before just being aroud the same old crowd drew me back. I felt like crap here I was speaking to me friends about how good God was while I was high as a kite. How hypocritical they must have thought I was. Well, my Mom knew I was backsliding and would always put the Christian channel on before going to bed so I would hear it when I would come in toasted. Well, one night I came in from the bar after some drunken redneck literally knocked my front teeth out for no good reason. I felt as though there was no God. I mean here I was going to church, (yet still living the wrong way) and he was letting this happen to me. So I went home that night doubting whether or not there was a God and wallowing in my own self pity. Well, praise God because he showed up for good that night and I have never been the same. As I walked in from the bar that night, there was a man named Benny Hinn on tv and as soon as the front door closed he said this "There is a young man coming in from the bar tonight and you have been in a bar fight. You are even doubting whether there is a God or not. Well, God is here tonight and he is using me to speak to you. He loves you more than you can imagine." Well, I knew that was God's way of showing that he does exist and I repented from my sin and trying to do it on my own and asked him to take complete control of my life, and I have never been the same. Ok I know that was a long testimony, but I fully believe that this is your God moment. I am at work right now, and for whatever reason decided to go check my email, while on a break, and Im actually running over it but I want you to know also that God does exist and just like me he does love you more thatn you know. He is the only one who can heal those deep seeded hurts that only you truly know about. The ones that cause you to cut. Give him a chance it sounds like you have tried many other things, but I can guarantee from my own experience that once you do you will never be disappointed. Yes life is hard due to the curse placed on Adam and all humanity when Adame chose to sin against God, but he will never eave you nor forsake you, and although this life can sometimes be so difficult you want to end it (trust me I have been there) the eternal life we have waiting for us up in heaven will never even be close to the crappy life we have to endure here. God Bless and hope this gives you what you need.
