To Sister Kate (my counsellor at school):
have you never heard of confidentiality?! When I told you that I had cut myself last night, why did you phone up my mum and tell her? I told you that she already knew that I have been doing it, but just because she didn't know that I did it
last night why did you have to tell her? Alright, I may have not completely stopped you by not giving you the number or something like that, but you could clearly
clearly tell that I did
not want you to tell her! When you asked me what I thought about you telling her, I said that I really didn't want you to because she already knows that I do it, but you still got someone else into the room and made me show her the cut I did last night too. Mrs Jennings told me that story about the girl who she used to see her that slowly started cutting herself more and more, so that it was everyday, well as I told you - I hardly do it, ever couple of weeks or so. I was like that girl once, doing it everyday, but I have managed to get myself to only do it now and then. Even when I do do it now and then, it's not as if I'm proud of it - I don't go around boasting about it! I just
really don't understand why you had to tell my mum! The very first time I met with you I told you something and you immediately phoned in my mum and told her! I do kind of understand why you did that, it was serious, but this isn't! Well, I'm not saying that it isn't serious, because it is, but it isn't as serious as taking an overdose and almost killing myself! Like I said before, my mum knows that I do it, and yes she doesn't find it easy to know that, but she knows that even if she takes away my knife then I will just find a different way of doing it. That's one reason why I didn't want you to tell her - she is going in for surgery tomorrow and I don't want her to be worrying about me, she was before but now she is even more that she knows I did it last night (I also don't understand why mum is freaking out so much just because she found out when I did it!). I feel I have let her down so so much!
And now, because I am so angry about everything which you have done today, I have such a need to cut myself again! You knew that I would feel that way when you were telling mum, but you
still proceeded in telling her! So far you have been of no help to me at all - you just seem determined to make me feel worse!
But I'm not going to do it again tonight, I'm not! Well, that's what I said to myself last night, and I still did it!
I think I'm about done now... phew...
