so i really like this guy and we have been talking alot and we have kissed and stuff but i just found out that he is moving half way across the united state on the 23 of this month!!!!!!! 🙁 i really want to SI right now, and is taking everything for me not to and i dont know how long it will last
How will self-harming right now help you? Will it make him not move? Will it change anything for the good?
I know losing a friend or when a friend moves, it is hard. It is very hard when someone we love moves away or when we are the one moving away. I just moved from where I had been living for nearly 4 years, to go back with my family, so I could pursue additional and intense therapy for self-injury/ eating disorder. The move was painful, but I’m trying to remember how the move had a purpose.
Your guy friend will be with his family, which is a good thing for him right now. You can still keep in close touch and maybe you can even go out and visit him sometime. I have to remember, too, that I can still keep in touch with my friends from where I used to live and that I had to move for a purpose too — I had to move so I could get “treatment”. I still call and email almost everyday to someone back home.
Enjoy every moment you have together right now. Make every day count and do something special together. Maybe you can exchange gifts or something before he leaves, maybe rings or necklaces. Give him something of yours and he will give you something of his. Email, phone calls, and text messaging are wonderful inventions you know!!!
