Hey there,
First of all, your hard work is not gone, a month is something you should be really proud of. I know relapses are really discouraging, but all we can do is learn from them. It happens to most of the people recovering from Self Harm, me included. I know I felt like you do right now, when I relapsed recently, but I just picked myself back up again, and i'm doing my best. I recommend you do the same!
You should be incredibly proud of yourself for your achievement, and it shows that you can do this. You will get through this. You just have to keep going. I'm glad to know that you tried some alternatives and i'm sorry to say that not all of them work the same for everyone. There are a few that work for some people that have no affect with others! I personally run because I get away from everything, maybe that'd help you too. Here's a list of alternatives: http://www.teenhelp.org/forums/f12-s...ves-self-harm/
You should try to talk to someone you trust about the self harm, I know you don't want to, but having a support system really does help. It doesn't have to start out with your parents. Tell your friend, a teacher or a counselor. And then maybe they could set up a time for you to talk to your parents about. At least think about it okay?
Stay strong, you can do this! If you ever need anyone to talk to, feel free to message me!
