So, I started self injuring about 5 months ago. I was feeling really down because I had fallen for a friend of mine, but I knew when I started liking her that she was straight and not interested. So it was never gonna happen. I have liked her for 2 years at this point. It just seems like whatever I do I can’t get her attention and I can’t stop feeling sad. One day I just felt so lost and alone and I let it get the better of me. I told a friend of mine, who is also the girl I like, what I was doing and after a lot of non cooperativeness from me, she recommended this site. Now every time we talk it turns into an argument about me getting help, which only makes me feel worse and self injure more. I know that getting help is the right thing to do, but at this point, I feel like telling someone else won’t help the situation. But by not getting help, I feel like im letting her down and damaging our friendship. And I dont want my mother to know, because she will just blame herself and it isnt her fault at all. I just dont know what to do at this point or how to stop. Help? Please?
I wish i could offer you some amazing advice that would work and make everything alright, but the problem is im right where you are. I know that seeing a therapist would probably help, but that would invlove me telling my parents which would kill them, especially my mom. She, just like yours, would blame herself and it really isn’t her fault. I realized that the problem isn’t the difficulties in our world, it’s the way we respond to the difficulties. I don’t know if this helped, but i do know sometimes it helps just knowing someones there with you, and I am=) Stay Strong
