Today, I wrote 'Save me from Myself' on my arm.
My mum saw it, and asked if I was okay. I told
her that I was fine. And for the first time ever, she
said 'Lizzy, do not lie to me. Are you, or are you not
okay?' I wanted to tell her everything, but some little
part of me knew I shouldn't. So I said, smiling
'I'm
happy. I have a great life, great friends, great school
great family and a great mum, why shouldn't I be
happy?" She then said ' Well it's good to know
that
you are happy Lizzy. If at anytime you aren't, please
tell me.' And so I nodded and smile and we carried
on like normal. I know that was my chance to tell
her, but I can't tell her. I don't know how she will
react.
Will she feel sad? Will she call me selfish? Will she
blame herself? I do not know. So therefore, I cannot
tell her. I will never tell her. You may think that I
should be able to tell my mum anything, and that
it is easier than I think, but really, in my case, I
cannot tell my mother everything. So please do not
comment with stuff like "Tell your mum, she'll
understand."
or "Your mum will support you through everything"
or
even "Your mum knows what you are feeling,
she will help you" because none of that is true. My mum
would not understand, and therefore she will not
be able to help, even if she is trying to.
