Triggering (SI) - help! parents...

[destructogirl]

just had a huge argument with them about everything (school, me working too hard, etcetc)
and mum said 'I am terrified you are going to start self harming again'
i just know that i'm not going to get through this summer without her seeing my legs
i DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO
she's going to be so disappointed in me, this wasnt supposed to happen again

somebody help?
what should i do???
all i want right now is for it to just END

My legs are covered atm, and my parents think I've stopped, so I'm in the same boat as you hun. I'm wearing cargo trousers or (long enough) three quarter length trousers. try it. it'll work. *big hugs*

It's highly unlikely that even if she does get a glance, she'd pick up on it. I obviously lack first hand experience, but I assume where you've cut is high enough to be covered normally, and intermingled with other scars? If she sees that, she most likely would assume that its simply an old wound.

Hopefully, once the exams are over you can try recovery again... You did REALLY well before but I can't blame you for giving in with exam pressures. We have almost half a year until our next stressy exam period so thats plenty of time to set things right... Try not to blame yourself: Its in the past/present but you can still control your future. If you feel you have to cut, make sure it blends in.... Don't do anything drastic which is obvious enough to regret.

*Hugs*

You know i'm here for you hun, right?

Talk sometime soon?

sweetie, she wont be disappointed in you! youve done nothing wrong. she may be worried about you and poss hurt that you didnt speak to her about it but not disappointment.
last week i got myself in such a panic cos was going home and got bad scars on arm that couldnt hide or wear long sleeved tops cos then mum would know... but in the end nothing really came of it so all the worry and stress was for nothing. so dont panic. cuddles xx
