My parents have no idea, nor do I ever plan on telling them. None of my friends know. The only person that knows is my ex-boyfriend who convinced me to get therapy a few weeks before we broke up. We don't talk anymore, so now nobody knows.

So don't worry, you are not alone - actually, you are farther along than I am since at least some of your friends know!

Nobody knows I cut. My mom only knows it as a past issue from like, 2 years ago. I'm way to scared to tell anyone. I've never been to therapy for my cutting either. You're definitely not alone!

My parents don't know. SI has been a problem for me for 6 years now. I'm afraid to tell 'em because I don't want to disappoint them. I don't want them to worry and stuff. I've never been to therapy and don't plan on it. Music is my therapy.

What if you ask if you can go to therapy for depression, and just not disclose you're also having trouble with SI? that's what my parents think. definitely make sure but i think unless the therapist thinks you're suicidal, everything is confidential by law between the two of you.

My parents don't know, but that is because we are basically estranged. Im in college now, but I spent the last year of high school with a family from my church. That family knows, but not my real family, and I hope they never find out. I do go to therapy though. They offered free sessions at my college. I am really glad I told my "adopted" family though. I could not do this alone. I Hope the best for you!

So my parents know. They found out about 2 months ago. It honestly....hasn't helped much. But I suppose it is for the best. And therapy does make me feel like I might have a chance at recovery.

i self diagnosed myself with depression between the ages of 11-13......i was actually diagnosed by age 18 so i lived with it for years before i got medication....if depression goes untreated it can turn into major depressive disroder and can really put a hold on your life....and my parents didn't know about m self injuring and when they DID find it they said it was for attention.......i still think you should tel your parents for your own safety.....but before i entered college my parents had no idea what was going on....

My parents found out a few years after I started cutting. Their reaction is where did our parenting go wrong. They did not care about me or my feelings. Years passed and they forgot and every once in a while my mother asks if I want to see a psych for anxiety and I tell her I would and then she says when you tell me then I will help. I hate repeating myself and this is the second time she has done this where I say yes and she says just let me know...
If or when your parents find out, I hope they are better than mine.
