What do I do? They found out!

Recently my parents found out that I SI and now my mum keeps "accidentally" leaving all these print outs from self help sites around the house so that I will see them.
I know that she is only trying to help, but its driving me crazy and making me feel really bad.
Its not even like I havn't tried to stop myself but nothing I try seems to work. I would like to stop and I really appreciate her caring but I just wish she would confront me instead of just leaving things for me to find.

Please tell me what I should do because it is driving me crazy!

Why not confront her about it?

I know how you feel. I went through this twice; four years ago and then about a month ago. It's really hard and I don't really know what to say that could help you. At least your mother cares.

If you have a good relationship with your mother, then I suggest just telling her to stop leaving the print outs around the house. Other than that, I guess you'll have to put up with it.

As for stopping, I don't really know what to say to that either. I'm trying to stop too and all I do is have self control. Also try to keep yourself busy. There is really nothing else you can do. Oh yeah, you could go to a therapist, but you probably don't want to.

Good luck.

Confront her about it....

You should walk up to your mom...tell her why you did it...your mom is wiser then you...and may have advice...

She's probably leaving the stuff around the house because she doesn't know what to say, she doesn't know how to help, and it's hard for her to think about. It's HER way of saying, I care, let me help you. The best thing you can do is confront her about them. It will be hard, but it's hard for you mom to think as well. Just take a couple of deep breaths, write her a letter, or sit down and just start up a conversation and then start talking about it.

That's also a way to help make you stop. If you talk about it, and tell someone like you mom, it will help.

Hang in there!

Just tell her your reasons, and then see what she says, trust me, the consequences seem worse in your head than what it will actually be like

Profesional help ruined my life.... I told ONE of my friends about my little issues, and she told ONE other girl who told the school shrink...who told my mom, who has been rocomended that i take anti-depressants and get more professional help... yeah.. ever since my mom is always giving me odd glances. My advise is to just act normal...

Well, SOMEONE told people about my poems on here, I hate them for it, They all pretend they care but they just like gossip, I cut the word pain into my hand I didnt really think about it but now people keep seeing it and telling me I'm not depressed, I just wish nobody knew, the school councellor called my parents and they saw the salt and ice on my hands so now they are pissed and upset AAAARGH....

hey guys.. what does SI mean? self.. what? but i suggest that you read some of the print outs, or if you're like me and simply CANNOT talk to your mother, type something on the computer saying that you are trying to quit and it's bothering you that she does that. leave it where she can find it. i hope i helped!

she cares about you and thats why she leaves those papers for you. i thin,k if its bothering you then you two should betalking about it (as hard it is).

talk to her!!!!
o.m.g. at least shes not yelling at you to stop or wanting to put u in a hospital trust me your mom is really doing it in the nicest way

shes just worried

Hey... it must be a horrible feeling knowing that your parents found out. You should talk to your mom one on one and explain to her how you feel... I mean you did explain it in your post. Maybe you can stop with her moral support.
