This website is literally the only sanity I have! I feel terrible all day and come on here and read this and feel welcome again. I’ve always been sure that I would never tell anybody about my SI but I did kind of tell my boyfriend and he reacted badly but that already made me feel a ton better. He doesn’t ever ask me about it or my depression or bi polar and they’re huge deals to me and when I bring it up, he says the same thing and really doesn’t care so I can’t talk to him anymore about it. But me telling him has made me realize that I want to tell someone and talk to people about it. I need to. A school counceler is off the list. Does anybody just have advice to a good approach to the situation? Please and thank you. FXP
It’s a really good thing that you want to talk to someone about this. It isn’t easy, at least for me it wasn’t, but I can say that it’s worth it. I know school counselor is off the list, but I told mine before I told my parents and he really helps me a lot. My friend who injures went to a teacher who she’s really close with for help. I dunno, I think it just depends on who you feel that you can trust. Sometimes you can tell with your friends who a good person is to talk to, based on their personalities. For me, I kinda built up to telling my friend that I SI, cause I needed to know if I could trust her. I hope that you find someone to talk to, and for the meantime, we’re always here to listen 🙂 Stay strong.
How would you approach it though? Thank you! You’re right and I have a person in mind. Thank you again for reading 🙂
