Should I tell my doctor about me cutting?

Question

So I have a doctors appointment tommorow and I’m debating on if I should tell him about that I have cut myself. The only thing that’s holding me back is that I don’t have any scars so does that mean it’s not serious?

Answer

I’ve cut for four ish years and I barely have any scars. Any harm is serious harm. Please be safe. Love yourself ❤️

Answer

Any cut is serious. It doesn’t matter if you have scars or not or how deep it is or how many. One cut is to many.

Answer

Answer

I've been cutting for 23 years. Do anything you can to stop, and telling your doctor is the first step.

Answer

Please say something now before it’s too late. You don’t need scars and trust me you don’t want them. I am covered in self harm scars and will be for the rest of my life... I only wish I got help earlier

Answer

I did self harm from 9-13. I’m 13 right now. On the road to some recovery. So my story goes, I had only told a few friends, then my whole class knew. How embarrassing. They thought I was mental and delusional. Then one of my friends told the social worker at school that I was cutting and being suicidal, I talked to her. I hated it. She told my parents. My mom picked me up. She was calm about, she wasn’t mad. She was quite understanding, but she wanted answers. She asked me if I thought it  was time for antidepressants, I said I don’t care. I went to the doctor, my mom told the doctor. I showed the doctor. And I’m still on antidepressants. So it’s up to you. I would because it actually really helped me. I hated it, and I still hate it to this day. But they needed to know

Answer

I’ve been cutting for four ish years now and I have lots of scars, but in the beginning I didn’t and my doctor brushed it off as if it was nothing Bc it wasn’t deep and now it’s hella deep

Answer

yes!  they have to keep everything confidential.  she will want to put you on an anti depressant. maybe counseling. I know counseling doesn't sound fun or anything but talking to someone you barely know is sometimes better than opening up to a friend or someone you know.  it sounds kinda dumb but I met one of my best friends online when we opened up about our depression to each other.

Answer

I use to cut myself when I was younger, I have well over 100 scars on my left arm... looks like my forearm went through a meat grinder. Scar or not cutting is serious, you should tell your Dr. Stay safe. ❤
