[quote=Anonymous]BTDT. My teen has scars over their entire body and was hospitalized three times and to the ER another time that didn’t result in inpatient admission. What was explained to me is this. They do it to feel something because they feel dead inside and/or to channel the pain to something physical. There is a therapist in the area that specializes in this but my insurance didnt cover it. I found her through google but no longer have the information.

As to hiding sharps, if a kid is going to cut it’s pretty much impossible to stop them. Mine even cut during inpatient hospitalization which is supposed to be safe. Some examples of tools:  the razor blade in a pencil sharpener, the top of a pencil, a drinking glass that they break or really any glass in your house. We had a cracked window due to a storm that resulted in a tool. Your neighbors recycling bin that has glass. I could go on and on.

Sorry you’re going through this. For us the only thing that worked was residential treatment. But lots of kids don’t go that far. [/quote]
