I've been cutting myself, but without any bleeding because my mind is pulling tricks on me, like crackling noises in my head, I don't know how to tell my parents about this and have nobody to talk too.
Glad you reached out to us. Cutting is not a healthy coping skill. Have you ever talked to anyone about your self-harm or your feelings? It would be good to let someone know, like an adult you can trust...maybe a family member (mom, dad, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin, grandma, grandpa), school counselor, or a friend. A counselor especially can help you develop better coping skills that will not harm you. When you get the urge to cut, try some of these coping tools; listen to music, exercise, go for a walk, call a friend, and watch a comedy, deep breathing exercises, snap a rubber band on your wrist or rub an ice cube on it, you can take a cold or hot shower, etc. You can also check out this link at https://www.crisistextline.org/selfharm/ which can give you support. You can also call or text us anytime, we are here 24/7 at 888-222-2228.
This is a safe space to share what's on your mind and to get support from real people.
