Being forced to stop cutting…what can I do?
I’m sorry in advance, but thanks to all of you that read this.
This last month, more than ever, has been increasingly difficult. I’ve never gotten along with my parents… They truthfully don’t want me (I was a mistake)… I don’t want to spend a long amount of time explaining the situation, but if you have any questions, just ask. They have told me things like me killing myself would be the first improvement I’ve made in this family. I…don’t feel safe being with them…
About a month ago, they forced me into a hospital because of cutting. They don’t like that it makes them look bad. Fortunately, I couldn’t get stitches because they had been open for too long. I was at the point where every time I cut apparently "needed" stitches (well, I didn’t think they were that bad… I believe there are pictures in my previous questions if that would help you with answering this question…). I’ve had to get stitches 3 other times (on 1 cut the first time, 2 cuts the second time, and 7 cuts the third time), along with other times that I needed stitches but they weren’t available (I’ve had to get butterfly stitches and sterie strips a number of times as well). So, yes, it is bad, and is a problem…
But, now I’m forced to agree to countless stipulations. Basically, I’m stranded completely being with no one other than my parents. It’s an absolute worst case scenario… I feel extremely uncomfortable about it, but my mom has to examine my entire body (yes, my ENTIRE body…) every night, and if they were to ever find anything, they would send me to a long-term institution… I’m not allowed to drive, not allowed to be on the internet for more than a specific time during the day, not allowed to call anyone or talk to anyone or tell them anything about the situation… I don’t know, I feel so extremely controlled and unimportant…
Along with all of this, my family just recently moved to a town thousands of miles away… I don’t know anybody at all, and it’s horrible… I’m definitely a shy person, and before we moved, I had lived in that town all of my life… I hate having to leave my friends, having literally no one to talk to, and being confined to this madhouse with my parents 24-7… I can’t take it.
So, I can’t cut… I can’t talk to anyone about it… and I don’t know what else I can do. This is probably an extreme rant, but I’m really at the end of all options here. I just wish I had never been born, I wish they wouldn’t have made this mistake called "me"… But I don’t know what else to do other than killing myself…
Please, I want some sort of advice… what can I do?
Well, Auntie Dote… The cutting thing has actually been going on for almost 5 years (but has only been deep for the last 3 years)… we actually had to move because my dad lost his job (a pastor) because of my cutting. So, of course they’re making me stop… now that it’s interfering with THEIR lives…
As a random side note, I’m 16, and will be 17 in February if that’s a necessary fact…
Tell someone (school counselor, police, etc) that you have this cutting problem and your parents won’t let you talk to anyone about it (like a therapist). At that point if your parents don’t let you get into therapy they will be dragged in and charged with medical neglect by child protective services.

Call the cops, your parents are assholes.
If your home is the way you describe it, it’d be better for your life to get the hell outta there.
Cutting does not solve anything. It’s just very unhealthy and could possibly kill you.
You only get one life on Earth, use it well and logically.

You think that your parents don’t care about you? Why would they go though so much trouble if they didn’t care? As a former cutter myself, well, I wish someone had cared enough to try and stop me from hurting myself. I’m so sorry that you feel so depressed and isolated. Grab the phone book and look up Crisis Lines or Emergency Mental Health Help Lines. You can talk to them anytime, day or night. You also need to make an appointment to speak to your doctor or shrink without your parents present so that you can really speak your mind.

I’m sorry you’re going through this.
Please I insist, go buy yourself a little booklet, any that appears to be nice to you — and just write away your emotions, spill out your heart instead of cutting everytime you feel hurt, depressed etc.
