Hey i went through that last year, but i still cut. Well it really depends on if you want anyone to find out or not. I know i didnt want anyone to know. and when the counslers constantly bugg you about it everyday its more of a living hell. Just say you did and quit tho if they are real suspicious...thats what i do, but if you want help, tell them, cuz they WILL help you but fer the first couple of months it will be a more living hell. If you are heavily addicted to cutting slow down some, b/c if you do tell them...all the sudden everything in your house and room will disapear that could do anything to you...even paper and earrings. So well i dont really know what else to say, but email me if you need so help or advice, cuz im glad too. acusack89@yahoo.com

Heh, me and my best friend used to write poems togeather...but she commited suicide on my birthday 3 years ago. I still havn't gotten over it thats wut got me cutting in the first place, not just cuz of him, but many reasons more....my advice would be most likely wut eveyone else would say, only tell her/or him the truth, if only you can trust him and or her, but me personally I think you shouldn't tell him or her, because it's like telling a stranger all your personal problems.

this happened to me too almost 4 years ago only I didn't have the choice of telling anyone about it, my friend told my vice principle, who told my parents and by the end of the day everyone knew. I still cut tho, so it didn't help me any. I think it is up to you if you want to tell the councilor the truth or not. I can't really give you advice on that. All I can tell you is that my friends and family finding out about it was the most sad, depressing, embarasing, hard thing that has ever happened to me. I still think about it and run that day through my mind almost everyday...
Good luck hun
love,
Tiff
