Okay, I was cutting myself and my parents found out so now I need to go for a mental assessment and blah but my main problem is that it's taking too long. My docter found out over a month ago and I just got a call from the hospital to set up a date for the assessment a couple weeks ago. The fact that there's a bunch of other stuff that makes me want to commit suicide, (which I will be posting in the other topics,) but I'm still cutting myself but just hiding it from my parents. My friends know and they have no arguements. Two of my friends cut themselves too. Bassically my problem is that I find the process taking way too long to get me a therapist and/or put me on meds, so what should I do I feel like if I don't get help soon I won't be around much longer.

since this is all taking so long, you should demand the appointment be soon.
or just have the school counselor talk to you about it. they always have time to talk, and 95% of the time, they can talk right away.

Yeah but I'm scared that the school counseller will call CAS and they will put me in foster care. My appointment is as soon as possible I can't ask for the appointment to be sooner.

Your main problem is that your friends are cutting themselves too and this doesn't help you at all. Friends should have told you that cutting doesn't help... Give up this kind of habits and try to find some normal friends or at least get some attitude and help them stop cutting themselves too. Remember: cutting doesn't help solving your problems. Suicide helps solving problems, but not in a very friendly way so don't try it. You will cause even more pain to your friends and parents. My advice is to talk with someone about your problems (someone who really understands - someone who has already been through that and solved his/her problems) via phone, instant messaging or e-mail (these servicies are totally anonymous so you don't have to worry nor be embarassed). Also, try to talk honestly with your parents about your problems. They will do their best to help you. If they don't, they don't deserve to be parents.

Well I'm kind of hiding over half of my life from my parents so I don't think that it's a good time to be honest. My problem is not that my friends cut themselves too, but the fact that they do probably brought us all alittle closer to each other. My parents are trying to get me help, well my mom is. If you know a way to contact someone that went through all of this stuff via e-mail then I will.

Just try to talk with them and you will see the results.

That's a good thing. Try to accept their help before it's too late.

There must be someone here on this forum...

I can't talk to my parents about anything anymore it's next to impossible.

I am accepting their help, that's why I'm going to get a mental assessment.

I hope so...

Looks like you're afraid to talk to your parents. You shouldn't. I'm sure they won't beat you to death for hiding stuff. Tell them that you're sorry for doing that and tell them that you don't want them to start arguing with you because you know what you've been doing and you know that it was a really bad thing. Explain them that you don't want to get into an asylum or something like that and tell them that you can get through this only if they help you. I'm absolutely sure they will listen to you and they will help you as much as they can. If they won't they don't deserve you, if you don't do this you don't deserve them.
Hopefully this will help you and hopefully I haven't been to aggressive (I'm really sorry if I did ).

Yes you need help. And your friends most definitely aren't the problem-we're there for you, and I think that's the important part.

If you want to quit, so be it, I'll stand by you. If you don't then I'll stand by you anyway, and anyone who says I should be TELLING you to quit can shove a razorblade down their throat or up their butt because honestly? Friends don't order other friends around.

Now if your parents ever found out you cut ever again you'd be locked in a white wall padded room but that is NOT happening on my orders kthx.

Cutting yourself is not going to help with any of your problems, many people think it does, but it doesn't.
The thing is once you are out of this depression, you will have the scars of your cutting for a long while, unless you use medicinal creams to help them heal properly.

All of us at TeenHut.net are here to help you and want you to get past this depression. We most definately do not want you to commit suicide beacuse you have a hell of a lot of live for. There is so much in life that we can do to enjoy ourselves and wanting to die, I think, is silly when there are children in Africa who are dying but wishing to live.

Why don't you tell us some of the reasons for why you are cutting and we can all help you out more.
Let us help you sweetie.

Okay, well some of the reasons are the stress caused by my parents arguing all the time because they can't stand eachother but they insist on living with eachother for my sake. My two best friends that can't stand eachother insist on dating eachother because they are happy for the first week or so and then all they do after that is argue and my boyfriend and I are always dragged in the middle. My good friend and I are suddenly starting to argue a lot and it bugs me because we have been really good friends for 8 years and now all we are doing is arguing over everything. The last thing that I can think of right now is that my boyfriend picks the worst time to disapear and go to his boyfriend's for a while.

i had to talk to a school counselour once and she said the ONLY things she would have to tell anyone about is if your life is in danger....she can help you mine helped me through alot!!

Make urself busy. Anything read,write, heavy work or be a social worker. If u found nothing then fall in love. It will help out.

First of all well done for admitting you need help.

Second, explain to your parents how down you are, they will hopefully try and sort something out asap.

Yeah but if I tell my counseller that I'm thinking about commiting suicide they consider that life threatning and she will tell or I'll end up in the hospital and I don't like hospitals.

Well last time I was down they put me on antidepresents. I hated it and I promised myself that I would never go on them ever again. I know that if I tell my parents they'll just try to get me diagnosed with depression or some mental illness that way I'll be put on nmeds but I refuse to go on medication for being me.
