I feel so bad because i s.i. and No one knows about and ever time some body asks me if i am ok i say yes thinking to my self NOOO i just want to give up so can you help?
i know how it feels to lie like that. and it isn’t easy to seek help. just a few weeks ago i revealed to one of my teachers that i was injuring myself. i didn’t mean for her to relize that i was talking about myself but afterwords i was thankful. it was hard for me when my mother was notified. and my twin sister still doesn’t know but i now know i am on my way to getting help. its good that you are trying to seek help and really you just need to dive into to finding it. trust me it is scary in many ways and you won’t forget the feelings that you go through at first but afterwords the beginning relief is immense. oh, and you will slip, i haven’t gotten to seeing a counselor yet and during the christmas break that i had i ended up slipping. but, u will slip, just like how you probably fell while learning to ride a bike, u just have to force yourself to get back up, dust yourself off, and get back on the bike. goodluck.

i know exactly how you feel, it’s really hard to tell anyone what you’re going through. try to find some way to summarize your feelings when you’re experiencing them, like writing them down. then when you find someone you trust, show them what you wrote so they know what’s happening when you s.i. remember that not everyone has to know, but if it’s driving you crazy, telling one person might be a good idea.
