Right now I’m at my friends house, and and one of them is looking over my shoulder as I type this out. GO AWAY LEAH!!!
Leah: NO!
whatever, I’ll share this anyway. I’m thinking about self harming again, but not right now, I don’t want my friends to get creeped out. I don’t know why, it just randomly happens sometimes. Something happens, and I get this sudden urge to self harm. I don’t know, is it a sign of clinical depression or something?
It is a sign that maybe you need some help and support to figure out what’s going on.

I know exactly what you are going through.. I was going through the same thing where my friends never understood why that was my way of coping. The only reason you keep wanting to injure is because it is addictive. I’m currently going to counseling for it and just to let you know just because you injure doesn’t mean you are clinically depressed. It could be a number of different reasons.. anxiety, ADD are some examples and that’s what my counselor helped me find out i have. I don’t know your situation or if your parents know or not but counseling is great and i encourage you to try it. Telling parents is difficult and to tell the truth doesn’t always make things better, but its worth the try. You don’t want to be 20 years from now and either have the scars or still have the addiction and find that you can’t stop. It’s not a good way to cope because eventually what your doing is not going to work so you will need to do things to a higher extreme. GOod luck!
