I tried to stop cutting a year ago and I can’t stop cutting and it’s something I can’t control anymore, I have no idea what to do and I’m way to nervous to say anything to my parents because they’ll probably get mad at me or be more disappointed in me. The next thing is a few days ago I tried to commit suicide but it didn’t work because i didn’t have enough pills or something like that but I feel like I should go to the mental hospital again but I’m very nervous to bring it up to my therapist. Any advice?

I don’t have any advice other than to suggest using the search function at the top (it’s the magnifying glass icon) and search out self harm threads as there are lots of them that will contain excellent advice.
Please do talk to your therapist/local mental health proffesionals about this so that they can offer you the help that is available, don’t let shame or fear dictate what you do moving forward.
Welcome to this fabulous community,there is someone here to talk to 24/7 so reach out if and when you need to.

Please talk to someone, even if it is to rant on here. Remember you are never alone, even if you think you are. I know I should practice what I preach, I feel alone at times and find it is easier talking to stangers. You have a community here. It is hard to talk about mental health, especially to those closest to us. I suppose we don’t want to let people down. Can you speak to your GP and arrange counselling. Try talking to your parents, they might be upset to see you hurt rather thinking you failed them. Take care and don’t be hard on yourself, you can beat this

Sometimes the only way through things is through them. You need to have that uncomfortable conversation with your parents or therapist. You can do it! I’m rooting for you from Southern California! 
P.S. Be sure and tell them how much you want to get better. That should be the key thing they hear from you, and a way you can take control of the conversation!

They knew that I self-harmed before and I’m not sure if they care that much, they just pressure me to answer the questions they ask and tell me not to do it which is fine but I’m not sure if how would they react because my mom is actually not the best and not the nicest to me. I’m proud of your daughter, I hope everything is well. Thank you

I struggled (and still do) with both self-harm and suicidal thoughts. It was so hard to let people know and in many cases, I lost friends, and later when I talked to my wife, it backfired, to say the least. Many people, friends, and family, can handle mental health issues. It is NOT their fault, they have no experience, no training, and it’s scary. I felt utterly alone.
Talk with your therapist, please talk with your therapist. They are trained and they are your advocate. Be honest with them and yourself! Don’t do this alone.
And please continue to reach out to people here. I do not “know” or your problems, but I care for you just the same as do so many other people.

You’re not alone, there is a help for You. I understand that You don’t want to talk to Your parents, you probably should do that, but - You just must tell everything to Your doctor.
Everything will be alright, just don’t neglect professional help.

No really, I’m going into highschool soon and I don’t trust any teacher except for this one teacher that was at my old school so I don’t have really a teacher I trust

I told everything to my therapist but I haven’t talked to my parents because I been hiding from them for hours and I’m not sure what they said about it to each other and the therapist did call them so they know which is making me nervous plus my grandma is not that happy…
Thank you.
Thank you I did talk to my therapist about it and I don’t really have anyone to talk to anymore because of what’s happening with my friends so this is the only way I can vent or something
