I guess I have to ask why you want to tell her so badly. Did you cut because it helped you in some way or did you do it to make a statement about something? I know that sounds cruel and heartless but really, it is important for you to understand why. Cutting can be a cry for help and if that is what you want from her then get eye to eye with her, tell her you have something important to discuss, ask her to please hear you out before she responds and come out with it. If she is typically a bad listener then let her know you need her to just listen. IF you are cutting to avoid some other kind of pain then maybe she is not the person you should be talking to first about it…
Either way I really hope you find what you need. Cutting can seem so easy sometimes but it’s a hard road to travel in the long run.
So at first, I was on insta, and I went under hashtags like #sue and stufff like that, and I saw a pic of a sharpener with a screw beside it so I went to the bathroom with a scratch thing for rainbow art and a sharpener then unscrewd it. Then when my sis was in shower(we share a room) btw not either of the ones I mentioned up there.. I cut my HAND like the tiniest bit. Idk why I did it but I wanted to try it because other people got relief from it… but I didnt. Then I was doing on my thigh but idek. I just want to tell her becaise she can tell when something is wrong. And then shell ask me if something is wrong. And I always say no. Then she asks again and I shake my head no. I just feel like I need to tell her! I need to tell someone. My parents know im depressed, and they r trying to get me a new therapist. But they always ask why I am so depressed. I told them that it was home but idk… im just sad.
You seem to be going in the right direction in that your parents have realised that something is making you depressed, confide in them as much as you can, as nozmoking says, cutting can become a long term problem, if you can, try to stop, seeing a therapist will help you further, I hope you get over this depression, it can be so soul destroying.
I stopped cutting but I have tried to do it more but then It wont work. But I am nit going to do it so I can tell someone without having fresh ones. How should I tell my stepsister… or should I tell my ss that had been self harming? When should I tell her?
