@quickwittedEyes3016 hi, i'm brand new to this website too haha. i'm also 16 and i've been clean for almost 170 days and every day i get a bit worried that i'm gonna relapse. clearly i haven't though [: my parents found out about my self harm at about the exact same time as i was outed (i'm lgbtq+). they kept trying to tell me that it was good that i was 'finally being honest' or whatever, but i felt physically paralysed to my chair, couldn't see through tears and every word felt like trying to push a bowling ball up my throat. i don't feel grateful that i was outed, even if i'm glad to be out. i don't feel grateful for my parents forcing me into therapy because now i've just gone back to pretending i'm fine so that i could stop therapy because i got paranoid that my therapist was reporting on my sessions to my parents. so our situations aren't exactly the same, but i think i know what it's like to have a damaged relationship with parents over self harms etc [:. cool, just saw your post and thought i'd respond. have a nice day/night (depends where you are *** haha)
