Scratching

[Guest]

Im 17. So recently I had sunk in a deep depression. It all leads to rage and feeling like no one actually understands me, which is true, my family always ridicule me.
so i started..."scratching" myself.
i have no suicide intention, and I already explained to my therapist that suiciee is against my religion. Suicide=hell. So what kinda choice is that to choose suicide?
so if I tell her about scratching myself, will she tell my parents?
