Completely freaking out?

Question

im a 17 yr old cutter. my mom knows that i used to cut on my arms but after she found out i started cutting on my thigh and i have really bad scaring. my mom decided that we need to take a family camping trip and shes got a real problem with my wearing shorts when i go swimming so im terrified of her finding out and i dont know what to do. because if she finds out shes gonna make a huge deal and make me go see a therapist or whatever and ive tried that and it just makes me want to cut more. i need some sort of advice on how to make sure this doesnt happen.

stressing out about this is making my want to cut but ive been trying to stop for months.

Answer 1

why do people cut themselves? nvm yall have your own reasons. put make up on it? and then tape it so it won't fall off?

Answer 2

It's not what you want to hear but you have to confess to your mum, but tell her that you have stopped so she doesn't need to worry, at first she will be really worried but atleast it won't be a public scene. Most likely if you can get her to believe that you have stopped she will listen to you and not send you to a therapist, whatever you do DON'T cut again because then she def. will send you to one.

Sorry I know its not what you wanted to hear.
