At least you know they care about you. Have you tried talking to them, saying something like this.... I don't like you checking my body every day, It makes me feel like you don't trust me, I know that I have cut in the past but the constant checking makes me feel ______.
I can't complete the sentence, that's up to you, but it's a start the main thing is this. I don't like it when you...It makes me feel..... I know that I have do this in the past and it makes me feel..... I got that from a T session, and if it works, let us know... Life is hard when your parents are doing the wrong thing to try to help, but they are trying to do something, and the truth is they are scared at what could happen. I can tell they love you by what they are doing, but you talking to them could help them to see what they could do differently with the situation. Hope this helps.

If your parents DID stop checking you, would you be more tempted to cut? Would you actually cut? I understand that the checks are embarrassing, but if they help, then they need to continue.
Are you in denial and feeling like there is no problem with cutting? Your parents have no way of FORCING you to stop cutting. You have to come to a realization that what you are doing must stop. You have the will to do that on your own. I completely understand how you are feeling. I hadn't cut for 6 months, and then I relapsed. Then 3 months later I relapsed again, just last week. Every time it's terrible, so I get you. If you go a day without cutting and without your parents checking you, the next day, you will feel like you have achieved a lot. You and your parents need to learn how to forgive you and to move forward. I'm still working on that too, so you're not alone! I'm basically just quoting Sannah who posted on my own relapse thread. I still have a lot of things I need to sort out myself...... |

All the more reasons to have a therapist so that you can work beyond this. Not being able to talk to people can cause mental health problems.
