I can’t take this anymore. I have no control over my SI’ing. My friend made me promise that i would stop, and if she didn’t see an improvement in two weeks she would tell someone. I resisted for a week and a half. In that time I lost one of my closest friends, found out my parents are getting a divorce, and have been made a mockery of in school. I managed to resist and found out a lot about this condition. I never accepted what i was doing or the fact that it was an addiction, but i learned and promised myself i would never SI again. then today my mom and i got into a pretty bad fight. she told me how selfish i am and that i’ll never amount to everything. i’m a straight-a ap student, so i know the latter isn’t true, but it still hurts. i went to my room and SI’d. i just can’t control it, but i’m afraid to get help, and i can’t tell my friend what happened, because she’ll tell someone. i don’t know what to do…
Why don’t you tell an adult yourself? Find an adult you trust and tell them how you’ve been feeling sad/anxious/scared/overwhelmed, and whatever else you’re feeling. If you’re able to trust them and be open about some feelings, tell them about the self injury. We ALL need help once in a while. Reach out for it – it sounds like you could use the support.
Best wishes,

Its important to have someone to talk to about how you are feeling. Perhaps telling an adult that you trust might just be the perfect idea right now- its a good idea to reach out and get the help that you need.
Its not good to have people that are negitive in your life, you need some positive people- reach out and find those people. I am glad that you know that you will succeed in life, don’t let her get you down. Once you are out of the house you will be able to get away from the harsh talk- but in the meantime, reach out for help.

if you cantrust this friend explain to them what’s happening they’re bound to understand. if she undrstands why chances are she wont tell anyone. peopl are afraid of what they don’t know. so ofcourse her first reaction is to tell someone. help her understand she sounds like she could be a great support
