I'm in therapy (not directly for SI), and my therapist told me last session that if I was still cutting by out next session we would have to tell my parents. I am 18 years old but I live with them - legally, don't I have a right to privacy? I wouldn't normally care if they found out, except that my parents have been dealing with a lot of stress lately and I don't want to put more onto them. They thought I'd stopped completely because it's been over a year since my last bad relapse.

I know it's selfish because I'm hurting my loved ones by doing this, but I really don't want to stop. I don't cut often...really it's a situational thing rather than a daily habit. I feel stuck. Stuck in a hole I can't get out of...I just feel so down for dumb reasons and I don't know what to do. No motivation, having a hard time even wanting to stay in school or go to college next year. All I want to do is sleep...just sleep all the time.
