Do what is right. Right for your health (mental and physical) right for your mother and right for your family.

Accept the help being offered now before you go too far.

I agree.

I think its good she found out, because now you can deal with things, as long as thats what you actually do. Explain to her why you are bad tempered and why you're acting that way. She is most likely being a bit short tempered because she is just worried about you! She probably feels pretty helpless...Parents seem to take it upon themselves that they are a 'bad' mother/father, when they find out their child has depression etc. She might feel responsible.

The best way to help her, is to help yourself. If you feel so bad that you don't want to get better for you, get better for her :-)

I have the same problem with my mom sep that she gets mad at me all the time calls my soilt bitch,heartless,little shit, ect. She blames everything and all my problems on me. Alot of them is her fault but not all. I'm really scared to see her anymore. I'm starting to believe everything she says about me is true. I still cut and my parents found out that and that I have been thinking about suiside. Yeah it sucks bad. She won't let me call my dad... she grounded me from everything .. I mean everything. I just hate her so much right now. I cna't talk to her about anything because she is the type of person that ALWAYS has to be right and ALWAYS has to have her way and ALWAYS argues and debate about everything.... errr it just makes me so mad.What should I do?

Therapy only sucks because you're not ready for it. If you want to get better, not only for yourself but for your family and friends too then you know what you have to do.

Why don't you cut somewhere she can't see, like on your leg,or something.

instead of reinforcing the trend, perhaps you should try and help her out.

thanx everyone xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

thanx hun xxxxxxxxxxx

The same thing happened to me when I stopped. Here I am 2 years later, and I still get really really short tempered when I get upset and I can't do anything about it.

When I went to therapy, it really helped. It was nice having someone that knew nothing about me, so that way I could tell her EVERYTHING and she just listened and gave me other ideas of what to do. It will work if YOU want it to.

I have clinical depression so my emotions are crazy. When I get down, and someone tries to talk to me, I bite their head off and get really really mad at them. I hate it because I know that I hurt my friends and family. My parents understand, none of my friends do, except my boyfriend. He understands that I can't control it, and takes nothing to heart. I get violent sometimes as well though. That's what's so scary about it. I never know till the harm is done. I don't do anything really bad when I get violent. I guess it's just the fact that if I punch my wall, my hand hurts, so it's another way to self-harm I guess you could say....

But I think that it's some what normal....I hope it is because if not, well, then back to the doctor I go!!!

If you think you can't stop, then you won't be able to. It's all about positive thinking folks! (Sheesh,that sounds so pig headed! I'm not like that really. honest!)

ok well, first thing, if you feel better when you cut and you still argue, and than when you feel angry when you dont cutand you argue aswel, wouldnt that make the solutiong, just cut...NO (lol) it wouldnt, just believe it and you will do it k!!!

huh? sorry I'm feeling dumb today
