I told my mum i stopped cutting and she believed me, but i still do it. the school is getting the nurse and a mentor to talk to me but i dont want to talk to them, i told my teacher i didn't want a mentor and she told me to just stick with it. I feel like its making me feel worse about myself but i cant talk to family cause they just smother me. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Welcome to The Site :wave:
Sounds like its been a difficult ride for you lately?
Have you checked out the section here regarding Self Harm? Its a fantastic resource full of useful info that might be of some help to you.
It includes everything from advice to confiding in someone, speaking to professionals dealing with urges and some great personal stories.
Ill not bombard you with too much info now, but please take a look and keep us posted on how things go for you. The link is below.

If I am honest getting help and support was the best thing I did with self harm it really is, I can always email or talk to my tutor when I want she is very supportive and helped me with getting further help - unfortunately that has stopped now and I am starting to show more symptoms of mental health illness so I have been advised to visit my GP again..
What I am trying to prove is that at the time it all feels too much and you don't feel like you want to get the help but in the long run when you look back at it all you will realise that it was all for the better. Have you ever tried distraction techniques?
Take care
One line of thinking about self-harm is that people do it because they are unable to put very difficult and possibly painful feelings into words.
So suggesting that they talk about why they self-harm can put them into something of a bind.
I wonder if you would find seeing a specialist counsellor who understands this easier to work with? Sometimes Art Therapy can help with expressing feelings that don't seem to fit into words. Or perhaps you would find it easier to talk to other people who have self harmed in a group situation?
Perhaps talking with a mentor or the nurse could be the first step in finding out the best method of treatment for you?
Take care.
