I am seeing my school psycologist but its not helping. my mom seems to think its just a phase or pms. my psycologist says its stress and depression. i want to stop and i think going into a rehab would help but we cant afford it and my mom wont let me. i need help.

Answer:

Sometimes people cut themselves as a releases of emotional pain or as a sign for the hurt inside. Next time u feel like cutting yourself, squeeze some ice cubes really tightly instead. This still has the same painful effect but without permanent damage.

your mom is being absolutly ridiculous. obviously there is something wrong and shes choosing to look past it and ignore it. you need to sit down with her and have a long, serious talk about it. bring her to your psycologist to talk if you need to. also, talk to your psycologist about options to pay for treatment. there is def some way to get help.

you really just do it to attention seek and you know its wrong....go on, you can tell us!!

Try looking online to find support groups for cutters/self - mutilaters in your area. Otherwise, you may be able to find an online talkboard to help you out. They can help you find alternative self-therapies to cutting, or at least help you resist the urge to cut. Good luck.

psyc. dotors are like bars, go to the next one until you find one you like. Let someone know that "this aint working". You can get what you need if you say somthing. I glad your willing to talk and get help at such a young age, Good Luck!

The cutting is driven by a need for attention driven by the depression and stress. It sounds like generalized anxiety, but only a doctor can diagnose that.
