i've been self harming since the end of seventh grade. I'm now a junior in high school. I was removed from school as a freshman, because my si had gotten so bad. I was given perfunctory help for it. I was in therapy for about six months, and had to stop due to a shifting school schedule. I stopped briefly out of guilt and because I wanted to stop and get better. Sometime near the end of freshman year I started again.
My mom has seen my scars again, and I had to lie and tell her it was something else. I don't think she believed me and am scared she will ask again. I don't think I can lie to her again, but I'm afraid of the consequences. Bad things happened last time, and i don't think that emotionally I can handle that right now. I'm lost for what to do.
