What do I do?
I'm a high schooler, and I cut. I have to change in the locker room with my friends, and it's been getting warmer in my area. I can't hide the cuts/scars as well anymore, and well, they've noticed.
They act really concerned, and then I make up some stupid excuse that's actually somehow plausible, and laugh it off. They just laugh with me, and then they make jokes out of it. I wanted to tell them, but the fact that they laughed and joked really hurt-even if I started it. What do I do?????
I think that I might be slightly depressed, but I don't want to go to the counselor! The last time I went to a school counselor for help, she was nice, but her questions were invasive and I felt uncomfortable, so I lied when she asked if I thought about suicide or cut. Then she told me that I was feeling depressed because I didn't sleep enough. Plus, I want help, and to do that, I have to answer questions honestly which means telling her that I cut which then means that my parents will automatically have to be notified.
Do I get help from the counselor or should I tell my friends? I'm scared that in the end, I might just be subconsciously making this all up for attention.
Help!!!!!
