Parents about to find out - November 14th 2014, 04:43 AM

Depressed. Self-harming. Last week came close to killing myself (not from the self-harm). I’ve managed to stop cutting twice, but when they fade the urge just gets much stronger and I give in. They’re getting deeper. I reluctantly agreed to letting my parents know about the self-harm, by now the psychologist I’ve been seeing has probably called my dad. I’m scared. Not about what they’ll say or do, but how they’ll see me from now on. I feel like they’ll never look at me the same, treat me like a child etc. I’ve never felt more vulnerable or exposed in my life. I’m wondering what others’ experiences were like, how their parents reacted and treated them. I feel so ashamed and pathetic it hurts.
