For, going on a few years now I SI myself. I hate summer because I can’t hide it. I’ve only told one person, my closest friend. She kinda freaked when I first told her, but ever since then she just blows it off as a typical stupid emo thing. That really pissed me off. It’s weird, whenever I SI I don’t want to but I force myself to do it. The last time I SI was in March. Hopefully that will be the last time.
Four months ago…that’s awesome. If you can do that, you’re strong enough to stop, because it’s clear that you want to. You’re doing so well, don’t give up. I’m happy to know that you don’t want this for yourself anymore. As for your friend, you have to let her know that. Tell her that this is something serious, and that it can’t just be passed off like it’s being passed off right now. She needs to support you in trying to heal, and you’d like her to be there for you in the recovering stage. You need her, and she needs to be there for you. It all begins with communicating that to her though…sit her down and really talk to her about this, because it’s really, really important that you get better.
<3, rescue
i tried telling my best friend too. she thought it was like.. a one time thing, so when i told her a second time she freaked out too. i know she loves me, and your friend probably loves you too… i think it’s just hard for them as well… because they don’t know how to help..
