at my last counseling session my mom came with and we talked about alot i guess (it's in my journal, but just the basics) and at the end of the session my counselor made me show my mom my cuz. i didn't want to and sat there n' looked at her for a while but then finally did. but my counselor told me that my mom has all right to check me whenever she wants!! and that next time i do cuz mom has to call her and they are putting me in the hospital! ugh! mom has no right looking at my cuts! it's a very personal thing! but idk i kind of want to just cut again to see if they would actually put me in the hospital or not. i mean i don't think i can stay there very long. because my cuts arn't very deep. i don't do it that much so idk. but idk i kind of want to go to the hospital i would feel safer but idk. i don't think mom even has the guts to ask and look. my counselor will prolly ask next time we meet. ugh.

" I dn't knw about the whole hospital thing. I just wanted to say that I understand about not wanting to show ur mom ur cuts. I'm 22 and sadly live with my parentals. An unfortunate event happened and they found out about my cutting (I was soooo stupid for letting them in that part of me), anywho...they just started asking me to see my arm, and whether there were new cuts. I dn't feel that they have the right to look and see, unless we want them too. It's our phyiscal body and what we do with it, is our concern. My mother, snached up my sleeve and checked. They dn't knw about my cuts on my upper legs and thighs... dnt plan on telling them...I agree with u on the, they shouldn't be able to see them, unless we want them too. lots of hugs. stay strong. blessed be.

" i understand why they do it, but i dont agree. thats an invasion of privacy and it just makes u feel more uncomfortable, like someone else said its ur body, although im not saying its good to cut. good luck! "

" personally i think its stupid to hospitalize someone who cuts cuz its not like your trying to die...you are trying to live!! cutting is coping and coping is living....sorry i hate hospitals...being put in there 14 times in a 3 year period just has a way of turning you off for life!!! but yeah when my parents first found out about the cutting they checked like once a week but i always played all the new ones off as accidents so eventually they gave up checking..

" no my mom don't care that much bout me..my dad does tho but idk if they can actually put me in there.idc if i go to the hospital or not.personally i'd rather go. better than living here. and mom likes to think her life is perfect and does things to make if seem that way so me being there would be something to make her life not perfect. if mom asks to see my cuts (and i dought she will) i'm not going to show her. i refuse to!

" im a cutter myself, been cut free for a yr now, but i had a day out with my 18 yr old daughter this past week and she told me she cut when she was 15, i was shocked! i never knew, it made me so sad i didnt know she was in that much pain! be greatful you have a mom who loves you and cares for your health! i wish i would have known back then cause now she is more depressed than ever and just started on meds and seeing a therapist, i could have interviened a long time ago if i would have only known her pain! my advice is to be straight up with you mom cause she loves you and you dont want to get to the point of disaster cause you want to hide you pain! (((hugs))) im here for you anytime, just message me! "
