Help i live with my parents still, and they found out i was cutting, how do i continue without them finding out

[r1ots]

so basically ive been cutting for years now without anyone finding out. i went to go take blood, but for some reason my mom wanted to come along and found out. I still need to cut there is no way i cant. so what are good ways to get blades/hide things without them noticing? is there a way to keep cutting without them knowing?

Maybe you could cut yourself in discreet or not so easy to see places and in the part of the blades or whatever you need, maybe you can use the blade of a pencil sharpener to be more discreet.

I hide my blade under my phone case (it's not transparent), and I always have my phone with me .I hide the other blades in my wallet, in the case of my laptop.I hide the knives in the computer case, under the back cover of the printer.

Why do you cut yourself? Do you want to ctb or hurting yourself gives you pleasure or peace? Sorry if I sound rude, but I'm both curious and worried about you.

How come your mum insisted on coming to the appointment? How old are you?

To answer your question, I usually cut myself on upper part of thighs and shoulders, so it's easy to cover up with shorts and a tshirt. I do not suggest you to do that, but it's up to you. I understand that it's hard to find a healthy coping mechanism

I'm sorry. But I'm fucked off and yes I'm going to get shit for this attitude but ok just bring it on.
To the OP. Are you for real? As I get more than a whiff of FAKE from this.
You have come on here, picked a provocative profile pic of an anime girl with big tits and bunches (yes I know she's a character)
Then you start talking about 'mom' going to medical appointments, when I can't help but feel most adults would be able to fend off a parent accompanying them to the Dr.
I MIGHT BE WRONG!!!!
Yes you've said you self harm so if I am wrong then I apologise absolutely and profusely..
BUT
This site is riddled with fake accounts from pro-lifers scouring every post for evidence to aid their agenda to get SS shut down.
I can't help but feel you have laid it on pretty thick as an underage girl with enticing avatar and are in fact Kelli or another snake hoping no one will challenge you and you can therefore prove kids are welcome on here.

Cutting is not good, I still have lots of scars and my arms where I used to cut and burn them and that was 10 years ago.

I used elastic bands for quite some time that used to work well. They gave a sharp snap of pain and release.

You also sound very young, your skin will still be growing a lot if you are early teens, I suspect it will leave a lot of marks you may regret as an adult.

Why did your mother insist on coming to the appointment? Its just drawing blood, an adult can do that themselves unless they're socially awkward to an extent. How old are you?

You sound quite young, honestly. I apologize if I'm wrong but if you're a minor I do recommend that you try to get help…

Another 18 year old who's mother needs to accompany em to appointments here!

Here's my opinion. I believe that you should stop cutting, but in no way is forcing you going to help that. If you have no tips to safely cut, you'll likely do it dangerously (like I did)... so for the sake of harm reduction..

Try to use sharp blades. Dull ones can cause major damage. If you can get your hand on a sharp razor blade, keep it close (you can use the other people's tips on how to hide them, like in your phone case, etc), but PLEASE keep some alcohol wipes with you if you can. There are ones that come in little mini paper packets the size of a quarter, you can easily hide one or two with your blade. Open the packet and wipe down the blade before use.

As for hiding wounds, it depends where you cut.
