I feel like there is constantly this weight hanging over my head( my head actually hurts sometimes). I feel so tired all the time. Physically and emotionally. Even simple tasks can feel daunting. I get so upset that even though I don't cut, I think about it like crazy. I have started trying to claw at my arm but never enough to actually do something. I was doing it during school today like secretly so know one can see. I have told my father about how I feel, thoughi am terrified to tell him about si. He said its just normal teen stuff, is it?

No it isn't just a "Teen" thing. That's what I started to do before I started actually cutting and it is a gateway basically. I will not pressure u into telling your dad because it's not something u come out with unless you are completely ready and comfortable. You may be getting migraines from stress? I used to get those A LOT but very rare now but...yeah :3

I think that it is more then normal teen stuff. I think that you need help. Can you ask your dad for a therapist?

Part of me wants a therapist, but I think I can handle it. I am just so scared of how my parents will react.

What would be the worst reaction from your parents for you?

I think they would get so upset. It would be so much easier for me if I knew they wouldn't panic.

Yeah. They also have a hard time letting things go.

Their response needs to be worked through. If you could learn to tolerate their response and move forward anyway you would be liberated from this. It really would be a huge liberation for you.

I don't know if I am exactly ready to tell them yet. I have been resisting the urges to cut pretty well and I don't think I am going to do anything really drastic. Thank you so much for your help and I guess I can trytalking to them

I'm a teen too, and I dealt with it on my own because I was too scared to tell anyone. I got through it, but I still mess up sometimes. You feel a lot stronger and prouder afterwards, but it's lonely. I ended up becoming more and more defensive until I felt like I couldn't talk to anyone, and bottled it all up (I still do). Having a support system is so much better, having actual people to talk to is so much better.
Talk to your parents. You may not want to now, but it's what's best in the long run. Tell me how it goes from there. |

Yes, talking to your parents is really important.

This was me in spades during middle and high school. And having the adults in my life in on the big secret was a weight and a load of guilt off my chest. You don't have to go through this alone, in fact you shouldn't have to. It's terribly lonely, and I know from years of expierence. Get help now while you are young and not horribly set in your ways.
