Stopped cutting leading to other problems?

I stopped cutting for a friend, well for someone I love very deeply and instead I'd take some painkillers to numb that pain I would release with cutting. I'm sixteen and afraid that I'm addicted to painkillers because I stopped cutting.

I don't know what to do...I'm still a minor, and don't want my parents knowing that i think I am addicted to these pills...I need them to get through the day...more so when I want to hurt myself. I'm afraid I'll end up overdosing and die...maybe going back to cutting wouldn't be such a bad idea if that means I stop taking those pills.

" what is dts?

All I know is when I don't take them I have the compulsory need to take them. I get jittery, and can put it off for awhile but that itch has to be scratched..I don't wait around to see what will happen. I tried and then i couldn't sleep and got anxious and then I took them and after some time I was able to calm down, my body to relax and then I slept. "
