I haven

My mental health is bad...I know that. But these last couple weeks have been tearing me down. My triggers are getting worse and the mental pain to hold back my urge is breaking me.

I began digging my nails into my arm yesterday. It hurt, but didn't draw any blood. It left marks for a couple hours, but went away. Today, I tried hurting my self with scissors. Once again, it left a small mark, but had no blood. I'm worried.

I know I should tell my therapist, but I don't have the courage. I guess I'm afraid what she and my parents will say. I know she will tell my parents. I remember the first day we started therapy (Almost less than a year ago), she told me that everything we talk about will be confidential, but that she will tell my parents if I'm at risk of hurting others or myself.

Any advice?
