Re: I need help my parents found out about my self harm?! - August 2nd 2013, 07:12 AM

Hello (:
This is my first advice thread since I've been out of the hospital so I'm sorry if it is a little rusty. (:
When my parents found out about my cutting addiction, I was screamed at, they cried, they blamed themselves. I was almost grounded. It sucks. I guess it's a traumatic experience for them to? But your parents cannot just expect you to get over this. That's the thing. They don't understand how addictive or how hard it is to stop. I don't understand why anyone would be punished for that. I'm so sorry. My advice to you is to try explaining to them, it's not as easy as they think. Seeing a therapist could actually help. They could discuss alternates for you. Like rubber band snapping, writing, reading, drawing, medication.
You should fight this addiction. You're stronger than that. You will get through this. You're perfection, no matter how many scars you have ❤
If you'd like to talk, feel free to message me (:
