The other day my friend admitted to me that she injures. I wanted to cry, because I thought she could help me. I thought she could lift me out of my own sorrows. I thought she’d be the one to take the numbness of my body away…but how can she help me? How can she help me, when we’re in the same pit? And I smile to her and tell that it will be better, the way I tell everyone in the world that it will be better, until the world falls asleep and I injure myself. But the world sleeps through it all. The world doesn’t care.
sometimes thats the best thing, having a friend who injures too. if u admit the same truth to her u can help each other and feed off of each others progress and drive. if ur totally against the idea of telling her tho, just know that the world DOES care that u use si. if no one cared, there wouldnt be helplines or websites like this. not to mention, i think i speak for a lot of people on this site when i say, WE care!
my best friend used to s.i before me. she told me she did it, then i told her a few days after. but i found it hard to tell her when i knew she was hurting too. but when she did it, i got mad sometimes, like how can you do this to yourself? then i was like.. oh wait i do it to. i dunno i dont want people close to me to do it, not because i dont want the connection cuz i do, but i dont want them hurting themselves. AND the post above mine is right… we do care.
