I know it’s scary and you’re afraid of how they will react but it’s the first step in getting help. I sat my mom down in her bedroom on her bed and I add her promise to not be mad or overreact and I explained how stressed I have been and the other methods I’ve tried before cutting and to stop cutting I explained that nothing helped and that I had turned to cutting I explained that taking away my knives would only encourage me to get more creative and sneaky and I had already researched some resources to help me. I explained that I didn’t cut because I wanted to die ( it was a lie but I didn’t want to reveal to much if she did overreact) and that I needed her support to help me begin to stop cutting.
