Hey there,

I am really glad that you are getting the help that you need. It can be really hard to get help because of all the stigma that is attached but you are doing the right thing. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help especially with self injury. I have not been able to get help for si yet, but I am in counseling for depression. Recovery is tough and you can get through it. I know from personal experience that getting help from parents and doctors will not be an easy task. My parents still do not understand my struggles and it is really encouraging to see that your mom is on board with your recovery! Make sure that you look for the right doctor who listens and don't waste your time with doctors who don't listen carefully and get your full story. Best of luck in your recovery!
