Triggering (SI) - I'm not ready for this...

[Netsirkylime]

I think my mom might know about my SI. I'm not ready for that... I'm not ready for her reaction. It'll either be disappointment or apathy... and I can't deal with either of those, I just can't. The worst part about this is I am so afraid of this that it's making it really hard not to cut... and I just want to, so much... but that's kind of counterproductive, isn't it? It's so frustrating.

If my mom does ask about it, how do I respond? What do I do?

Stay strong, you know you can do it. I think it would make the situation easier in the long run if you were more honest with her. If you bottled it up it could make it worse for you and for her. She may know and not bring it up or do anything about it until you confront her about it. Listen to your gut.

Hey Im sorry to hear that your mum might have found out. I think parents are bound to find out one day though. I thought mine would never find out but they did. Its alot better with them knowing, because you dont have to keep avoiding them or hiding things and have them being suspicious of you. I agree with the member above me, that you should be honest with your mum as keeping everything inside you will only make things worse and could lead to other problems. Maybe you could write her a letter that way your still being honest but your not saying it face to face which i think is more difficult. Maybe that is something you could think about.

Take care best wishes Ian xxxxxxxx

Hey
Im sorry to hear your mum may have found out about your Si.
As her emotions may be the complete opposite to what you want
How about writing her a letter, and making it clear you dont her to act like that , while also explaining why you Si , if you want to.
Im afraid if she's found out then theres not really a brilliant way to deny it, as the evidence of it is pretty hard to hide, you never know, it could turn out to be a good thing, she may be able to give you help you want/need

Hope this helps
Pm me if you need me

Hey sweetie.
I dont know what your mum is like but it may be a good thing because if she knows she can support you.
When she asks you try and be honest if you can.
If your worried about waiting to see if she asks you maybe you could tell her first or write her a letter telling her, this would make her feel as though she wasnt always going to be kept in the dark about it.
Hope your okay.
