catgirl82 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 do NOT be afraid of what your surgeon will think! doctors are required to keep 100% patient confidentiality, and they only have your best interest in mind. and you are not alone in your cutting behavior, there are many other people who do the same- with that said, your doctor is an educated person who will not make judgements and who has probably seen this sort of thing before. i would suggest reading posts on this website- there are plenty of people online with similar issues and you could probably get some inspiration from what they have to say. and do not be afraid to see a counselor. again, counselors keep things 100% confidential. is there someone at your school you can go see? i think that would help you alot Link to comment
xXxHeLpLeSsxXx Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 I have a councilor but she tells my parents everything, she scarys me. My parents already know that i did it once i dont want them finding out again theyd be heart broken Link to comment
catgirl82 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 it is not appropriate that your counseler is telling your parents everything. i think ive heard that the only time a counseler is allowed to break the confidentiality rule is when you are talking about suicide or hurting other people, i am not sure though. is there possibly another counselor at your school or is this person the only one Link to comment
xXxHeLpLeSsxXx Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 oooooh yea thats true, i thought about committing suicide but i didnt thats when she told. ok i get it now, but my school councilor is weird, but ill try talking to her. ill try facing her Link to comment

xXxHeLpLeSsxXx Posted November 23, 2004 Author Share Posted November 23, 2004 I want to get help because people blame what happens to me on my parents, Its not my parents fault. so i wanna stop, but its like an addiction,im really trying to stop, i seriously am soo hard Link to comment
catgirl82 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 well, i am no psychologist, so i dont really know what to say other than that you should definetly continue on your road to getting help. good luck, sincerely Link to comment
unexpectedvictim57 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 doctors are required to keep 100% patient confidentiality, is this true? so if i have a physical and the doctor see's, she can't say anyhting to my mum? cause thats what im really worried about! Link to comment
gunblade Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 i thought the doctor confidentiality depended on age, if your underage ( but about seeking help, you should ask your councelor (or whoever you approach), to keep it confidential, and tell them that they must, if they disagree and say that they might report what you say to your parents, or cant promise confidentiality, then be careful what you tell them Link to comment
