(I know this forum is for parents about children, but here I go)I am 17, I have been depressed for almost three years, I started cutting last summer, and from there it has gotten pretty serious. It helps (and I know that for those of you who haven't done it you won't understand that, but it does help). I know, logically, that I need to stop, but honestly I don't have the motivation to. The thing is, my parents have no clue, only two people know, they both think I have stopped, but one hasn't spoken to me in 4 months so I don't think he really cares at all anyway. My dad and mom are divorced and they fight about the big things like going to the doctor for a sinus infection (waste of money vs. necessity). Tomorrow id SI awareness day so I was talking to my mom about it because we are supposed to wear orange to school. She just made fun of people who SI. And she said things that infer that she thinks SI is stupid and that people that SI are oblivious and crazy. She doesn't believe in medical treatment (therapy/drugs), but rather thinks that God will fix it. I don't agree. Depression is a medical thing and I don't believe that God alone can help me. My dad would freak out and my step mother too. They would make a huge deal about it and tell the whole family (regardless to if I ask them not to). And my mom and dad would have a massive fight over the best method to help me. That fight would just make my mental status worse (the fights always do), so what can/should I do? Thank you!
