I totally get what you mean! I stopped for a year then I ton of things happened all at once and I did it again. My friends always get mad at me for injuring. I use to promise that I’d stop but I was NEVER able to keep them so I recommend NOT making promise that you think you wont be able to keep. If you need anyone to talk to email me at emo_chick44608@yahoo.com. 🙂
you should explain to your friends that sometimes they really can’t help and you feel its the only way to make you feel better. i’m not saying its the best solution, because i am trying to stop too, but my friends understand that getting mad at me isn’t going to do anything except add more stress and make me want to do it more. but i agree with the girl above me, don’t make a promise you can’t keep. just tell them you’re trying your best to stop and that’s all you can promise. i hope things work out!
