advise on getting help or coping things

hi sorry this feels awkward and random i found this through a diffrent sh thing but this one seems like it encourages it less which is good anyway i have struggled with sh since i was 12 or 13 im now 20 and i still struggle with it and i have been trying to stop for years but i just cant seem to actaully stop the longest i have ever gone is 3 months without and like i had been doing it less and it still is less but like i havent had help since being a minor and that was help i was forced to go to so i didnt actaully talk to them and well i have my first appointment that i have chosen to go to this week and well i dont want to go even though i know i should cause in the past i have had bad experiances with getting help like being told im wasting their time and not struggling cause i dont look like i am but like other then the intake this will be the first appointment since i was like 15 and i just dont know how i feel cause like i felt worse after the intake appointment cause they where asking all the like risk questions around sh and asked if i could keep myself safe until the appointment which i said yes to cause like who is going to answer that honestly especially when it sounded like they where asking if i could not sh at all but the truth is that i actaully got worse after the appointment like relapsing more so i guess im worried the appointment this week will end up the same with me just feeling worse and like shuting down i can get somewhat non verbal when trying to get help or like overwhelmed or stressed i guess my point of this is does anyone have advise or like there experiance to maybe help me feel less bad about the appointment and stuff

I'm a bit scared

We have a pool and my mom wants to go swimming soon. I do too, but I have some >!fresh cuts!<on my legs and she doesn't know about them, only the scabbed healing ones she knows about. What do I doooo she will get suspicious if she sees bandaids or if I tell her I don't wanna do it
