how do i make my mom notice?

0

I’ve been a cutter for nearly two years now… Depressed, all i do is sleep.. She’s too busy with her boyfriend and my brothers to even notice im upset.. I don’t want her to know about how I’ve cut, and how stressed, and depressed I am…But it’d be nice to just know that she cares..

I just read this and realized how you are going through the exact same thing I went through a few months ago. My mother realized a change in the way I ate and I would always keep myself locked up in my room while my mom, her boyfriend and my little sister would always be together. I finally stopped talking to everybody a and it would write all my feelings and thoughts down. My mother found the papers and she sent me to a hospital to get me help. I wanted my mom to know what I was going through too but I was scared to tell her because I thought she would be mad at me. Mom mom was not mad at me she was scared. I'm sure if you tell your mother about your cutting she won't be mad at you. If you want to stop cutting try the butterfly project. You draw a butterfly on your arm in pen and that butterfly is someone who cares about you or who you care about. If you cut while the butterfly is on your skin then the butterfly dies. You can't wash the butterfly off. I hoped you get through this and I hope if gets better :)

You should approach your mother as honestly as possible. If you feel the need to leave out some details like the cutting for now, then do that. But if you ask her to talk and let her know how depressed you have been...she will step up. She's most likely trying to let you have your space. It may not be she's too busy, she just doesn't want to overstep her bounds. Talk to her and let her know you still need her. Then go from there to get the proper help you need.
