at my last counseling session my mom came with and we talked about alot i guess (it's in my journal, but just the basics) and at the end of the session my counselor made me show my mom my cuz. i didn't want to and sat there n' looked at her for a while but then finally did. but my counselor told me that my mom has all right to check me whenever she wants!! and that next time i do cuz mom has to call her and they are putting me in the hospital! ugh! mom has no right looking at my cuts! it's a very personal thing! but idk i kind of want to just cut again to see if they would actually put me in the hospital or not. i mean i don't think i can stay there very long. because my cuts arn't very deep. i don't do it that much so idk. but idk i kind of want to go to the hospital i would feel safer but idk. i don't think mom even has the guts to ask and look. my counselor will prolly ask next time we meet. ugh.

I dn't knw about the whole hospital thing. I just wanted to say that I understand about not wanting to show ur mom ur cuts. I'm 22 and sadly live with my parentals. An unfortunate event happened and they found out about my cutting (I was soooo stupid for letting them in that part of me), anywho...they just started asking me to see my arm, and whether there were new cuts. I dn't feel that they have the right to look and see, unless we want them too. It's our phyiscal body and what we do with it, is our concern. My mother, snached up my sleeve and checked. They dn't knw about my cuts on my upper legs and thighs... dnt plan on telling them...I agree with u on the, they shouldn't be able to see them, unless we want them too. lots of hugs. stay strong. blessed be.

i want to cut to see if she'll actually do it. if she'll do what's best for me. i've been wanting to cuz before all this happen n' i never did cuz i was scared she'd actually do it but i don't think she will. but idk. i don't feel the need to but when i do i'm not sure i'll think twice about it.

hun if ur mom loves u she will do it :) trust me when moms n dads love there kids n dont want them 2 get hurt or anything thay will do anything 2 stop it :)

i understand why they do it, but i dont agree. thats an invasion of privacy and it just makes u feel more uncomfortable, like someone else said its ur body, although im not saying its good to cut. good luck!

personally i think its stupid to hospitalize someone who cuts cuz its not like your trying to die...you are trying to live!! cutting is coping and coping is living....sorry i hate hospitals...being put in there 14 times in a 3 year period just has a way of turning you off for life!!! but yeah when my parents first found out about the cutting they checked like once a week but i always played all the new ones off as accidents so eventually they gave up checking..

no my mom don't care that much bout me..my dad does tho but idk if they can actually put me in there.idc if i go to the hospital or not.personally i'd rather go. better than living here. and mom likes to think her life is perfect and does things to make if seem that way so me being there would be something to make her life not perfect. if mom asks to see my cuts (and i dought she will) i'm not going to show her. i refuse to!

keep in mind you are stil a minner and your mom can do what ever she wants with you not to mention when you go back to your next consoling sesion iam sure she will ask your ma if she checked and if not iam sure they will do the same thing agian right in front of you and ask to see your arms

im a cutter myself, been cut free for a yr now, but i had a day out with my 18 yr old daughter this past week and she told me she cut when she was 15, i was shocked! i never knew, it made me so sad i didnt know she was in that much pain! be greatful you have a mom who loves you and cares for your health! i wish i would have known back then cause now she is more depressed than ever and just started on meds and seeing a therapist, i could have interviened a long time ago if i would have only known her pain! my advice is to be straight up with you mom cause she loves you and you dont want to get to the point of disaster cause you want to hide you pain! (((hugs))) im here for you anytime, just message me!

i cut on my hip so i guess it's hard for my mom to just look. but it doesn't matter cuz she wont check anyway's. i have a meeting friday with my cousnelor and so i think mom might check just cuz i think my counselor might ask but i know if my mom doesn't check before my meeting my cousenlor will ask to see. and i kind of wounder if they will actually put me in the hospital or not cuz i think it might just be a scare to get me to stop ya know? but idk...if mom asks i wont show her.
kayrl
well i cut today so i guess we'll see if they put me in the hospital or not

Look I do not know how bad u cut or how deep u make your cuts but the one thing i do know if ur cutting to see if they will put u in a hospital then maybe it is a good idea that u do go and there is a stigma of why people cut because they are emo,for attion and things like i personal belive that people who cut and keep it to themselves do it to dael with there problems or are realy depressed and tring to reach out for help and people who do it and then just to kinda see what the outcome is going to be are doing it for attion and test the limits or they realy need help most people do not tell there consoler what u have told yours due to your age and the fact you r still a minner my point is i do not all of your problms and your back ground and so forth but the one thing i do know i was in your shows one time and i thought they would never take me away and then when they did i was only 10 and did not go back home until i turned 18 and if your worker askes to see them she will send u away and have your ma sighn the pappers and if she does not then the worker can and will get social services involved for endagering the welfare of a child so just take my word for it and iam here if u need to chat

i don't cut for attention. i cut on my hip where i can eaisly hid them, even my swimming suit hids them. both my brothers abused..more one then the other. mom takes his side more than mine. she doesn't do anythign that would make her look bad. it took her a year or two to get me counseling. i just want to know if she'll do what's best for me and not what's best for her. i just want to know she loves me enought to get me the help i need and want. my brother is still around me alot and i don't like it. she know's it but doesn't do anything about it. idc if they take me away i'll be 18 in like 4 months. i don't cut for attentino i actually hate cutting i just can't stop doing it. i like how i feel i like the pain. and it helps me deal with my past.
