Replies AndWhenHeFalleth Posted at 3:04 pm on Nov. 10, 2008 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.   merryberrycherry Posted at 2:14 pm on Nov. 10, 2008 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? tell me again Posted at 2:08 pm on Nov. 10, 2008 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. error Posted at 2:08 pm on Nov. 10, 2008 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. nikki123 Posted at 2:05 pm on Nov. 10, 2008 im on meds for depression sadnessness Posted at 2:04 pm on Nov. 10, 2008 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. XxAnNeXx237 Posted at 1:57 pm on Nov. 10, 2008 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.

DopeSickGirl Posted at 1:55 pm on Nov. 10, 2008 i told my mom im a heroin addict last night. just seriously tell ur mom that u need help, and shell help you^^ and if she doesnt, pawn all her stuff and move out. SorryxSight Posted at 1:54 pm on Nov. 10, 2008 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. All 10 previous replies displayed.
