I want to get help,
but I dont know where to go, because I don’t want my family nor my friends to know,
and everything involves telling them,
which isn’t an option.
Hey there 🙂
One thing that really drew me to your post was the title
“I want to, but I can’t”
I use to say this also
but CAN’T should NOT be in your vocabulary…
haha
but I do understand where you are coming from
I felt the same way only months ago
but when i went to S.A.F.E
i learned
I will not truly get better without my family and friends knowing
and at first it was really hard
but I learned and I’m still learning that with my family knowing… for me anyway it helped. they are there for me no matter what
because when one person in the family is “sick” it is just a “symptom” that the whole family is “sick”
does that make sense?
I hope I helped. And I’ll always be here if you just want to vent.
I think I understand, and yes you have given me a different perspective.
It’s just not an option to tell them, because they know it used to happen,
but they dont know that it still does.
I just don’t think I could deal with everything all at once, telling people, the attention would be overwhelming, and I would probably be treated differently.
Thats just not something I think I could handle?
The last thing I want is change.
I totally understand where you are coming from
I use to self harm
and then I stopped for a while
and I didn’t tell
but my parents found it
and i promise
it made things A LOT worse when I didn’t tell them
so I encourage you to tell them or have someone talk to them
and it may get WORSE before it gets BETTER
it probably WILL get WORSE before it gets BETTER
thats what happened with me
but there is HOPE
Sometimes we can’t help ourselves by ourselves. We don’t know all the answers and we make mistakes – we are human.
I understand you don’t want to tell anyone, but also want help — this isn’t realistic because if you could help yourself without letting ANYONE KNOW, then you probably wouldn’t have started hurting yourself to begin with. Unfortunately, no one has all the answers themselves to get solve problems.
Why are you scared to tell someone? What do you think will happen? Just curious… because when your desire to heal over comes your fear to stay silent, healing will be truly possible.
i know this is wayyyy later than the other responses, but i only just joined, and i know exactly what you mean, i’ve only told one person the truth, and know i know i should tell my parents, but they treat my sister different now shes diabetic, and i couldnt stand gettin treated differently
more sense than you know.
