Yeah, I get not wanting to worry your parents. This may be one time that you need to though. If the wound is open it is more susceptible to infection. It may be time to get it looked at. I know that's hard and it's intrusive but an infection could be dangerous. If you see any red lines coming from your wound then it's definitely time to go to the doctor as that could be blood poisoning and that could kill you!


Yeah, my therapists haven't helped me that much with the SH either. They give advice like snap a rubber band on your wrist. Really? Is that all you have to offer? But they have helped me explore what is behind the need for me to SH. The one I see now in particular has challenged some thoughts I have about myself that is forcing me to see myself in a different light. Would your parents be willing to help you pay for a therapist? It might be worth another shot?
