i've been cutting for over a year now, throwing up for about six months, and i'm considering going to a counselor. but i'm so scared of what will happen. and what my parents will do. and everything else that will result from it. i thought maybe if i knew what's happened to other ppl i/o basing it on movies and my paranoid schizo voices it'll help me worry a little less. be honest tho, even if your story doesn't have a happy ending. i want to know what to expect.

In my opinion, I dont think they do much. But for you, everyones different. I got over cutting like a phase, where I just didnt need it anymore. I didn't need to cope that way, maybe that will happen for you.

Ask yourself what's the worst that can happen then ask yourself what's the best. If the best out weighs the good then you need to do it. But remember that it can and will get worse if you don't take care of it now.

You shouldn't test the water with both feet but this is one of those things you should trust to help you.

I've been in therapy for a long time and I'm on meds for bi-polar disorder. Things don't magically cure themselves, but it's nice to know that I can talk to people to care about me and it gets a little easier every day.

I was forced to. They help you find other ways to deal with your pain and self image. It didn't help me but it's different for everyone.

Counselling helped me a little bit, but it got worse to begin with because they make you talk about it and you have to build up trust ( :S)

I gave up the counselling but im going to go back now because a) ive swallowed my pride, and b) i really do need help.

Its always worth a try, and if it doesnt work they can refer you on to other places.

dont wonder why im not smiling, wonder why you are.

im dealing with almost the same exact thing right now, but ive been cutting for over 4 years, but now its been 8 months since ive done it. ive been bulimic for about 6 months just like you have and i still havnt figured out a way to get help and not tell my parents, just hang in there and do your best to tell someone as soon as you can, i dont want to sound like a hypocrite but you need to tell your parents!, im trying but my parents just arnt the kind of people to go to for this stuff, if you can go to your parents, then do it as soon as you can. and if this has anything to do with your reason for doing this, i just wanted you to know that i saw your pics and you are really pretty, i know it might not mean much coming from a girl whos straight but its true.good luck with everything.

tell me again

First of all I want to say that even though it may be scary now, once it's in the open and you have support, it might be a great weight off your shoulders.


Having said that though, my experience sucked. I had my doubts but I was desperate enough to go to the school counsellor when I was in year 9. They raised concerns about child abuse and I insisted that I don't want to bring my parents in for a discussion (because I knew how unsupportive they'd be). The school issued a letter to my parents without my permission, which resulted in my Dad chasing me around the house, trying to beat me. And lots of tears from my mum, who just stood and watched.

I hadn't even told them about the extent of my depression or half the things that's happened to me. I lied about suicidality because they'd be obliged to tell my parents if I told them the truth. But even that didn't prevent them from contacting my parents and getting me into a load of deep shit.

Well short story about me:
I self-harmed and told my friend, who gradually helped me to talk to a teacher at school, who kept it confidential until she gradually perswaded me to tell my mum, I wrote her a letter explaining it. My mum did the routine checks every nigth for a few months, now school has started I have started cutting again and she doesn't know. I only got help because people practically forced me into it. Oh and I have been throwing up for about 8months now and I don't tend to stop until the inevitable will happen and someone will tell a person in authority. You can talk to me/ ask me Qs if you want?

Every time I was caught cutting or was suicidal, they put me in a crisis clinic for between 3 days and 2 weeks, had me re-evaluated by the dr, and played around with my medication.  After the crisis clinic turned into a second home, I was put in a long term facility, which was basically like some sort of hellish prison for "troubled" kids.  According to those who'd been to juvie as well, you get better treatment and more freedom in juvie.  When I got out, I learned how to keep my issues to myself until I outgrew them.
