help??

ok... i know these cutting posts are pretty damn annoying, but i really need help... a couple weeks ago i got really depressed and i cut up my whole leg. my mom doesn't know, but she's still really worried about me ever since i got out of the psychiatric hospital. there is no way i would be able to tell her... my dad just came in for a visit from NY, and i told him about it, and he is trying to help me, because there are still times when i want to cut more, but he's going back home soon and i'm afraid i'm going to do it again, or that my mom will find out... i dont know how to hide the scars through the summer without her finding out, or how to keep myself from cutting again... please help?!?!

The scars will always remind you of how stupid that decision was, and I bet your a good person with problems you dont know how to deal with, well I still think someone should kick your ass as I did to my best friend, I think it's ultimatley your decision, but it seems like you care about your mom, and you love her and don't want to hurt her. It's not like that blade is made on nicotine or anything. Please stop. e-mail me if you want to talk more

Kati....just take a minute and stop and think about what cutting up your leg has done to improve your situation. You now have scars all over them that are probably not attractive in the least. Plus you now have to worry about your mom finding out which is stressing you out. So are you thinking? Now think some more about how your mom would have felt had you cut yourself and bled to death. You obviously love her enough to care about her feelings. Thinking? Okay, now think about how selfish you were for doing something so damn ridiculous. All for what exactly? Thinking?

Good now NEVER do that crap again. Don't be ignorant. Really.
