Can any one give me any advice?

I use to resort to self-harm about 2 years ago and then after hurting my boyfriend who is my best friend as well, i tried to stop because he was so hurt when he saw. But today, for the first time in over a year, things just got to much and i went back to it. But like back then I use to do it heaps but today was just one minor cut. I was just wondering does anyone have any advice bout whether I should tell my best friend or not?
I know alot of people make fun of people who resort to self-harming themselves but they, like myself, post threads on here to get other people's advice because they feel they can not talk to the people closest to them. It is good to get advice from other people. So please, for those that make fun or dis
people that self-harm themselves don't be so harsh.

i would tell your best friend because they may be able to help you through wat you are going through. Yes i agree with wat u are saying about people making fun of others who resort to self harm its not right. if you ever want to chat you can email me or add me on msn ash_17a@hotmail.com
luv ash

Ok, I'm not going to make fun of you but you really must stop. You already know how many people you have hurt. So please just give it away. I agree with Ash talk to a close friend they know you best and may be able to help you.

maybe you should talk to your parents about it...it might sound crazy and 'they'd never understand' but they love you too and they'd want to help. other than that maybe you should talk to someone you can trust fully. dont be blind. or you could try to help yourself instead, and gain confidence in yourself. if you believe you can stop cutting you can. you have a choice, it's all yours.

thanks guys....i did tell my best friend while i broke down and cried to him.....but the thing is this was the first time i had cut in over a year and it had just built up...but i have made a decision to stop the thoughts of it.....take care everyone and thanks again...luv nicole =)

hmm well eventho you already have..lol...i would've told him becoz the truth always gets out. yeh i just read your poem...its really sad...great work tho.
take care everyone x x x

Aw hun, I know it wont help coming from a stranger but you shouldnt hurt yourself, there are people who care for you, just try keep yourself occupied & when people are always around so you dont get the chance to hurt yourself, really, you should stop before it goes out of control

Yea i know i shouldn't do it, I was just so angry and hurt but I didn't let it get out of control...about 2 years ago it was out of control...the amount of gashes i had on my wrists were shocking but i got help...then my anger slowly came back and that's what made me give in the other day.....but i'm fighting the urge to do it...thanks everyone for your input..it means alot. Luv Nicole =)

i struggle with this as well. and sometimes no matter how hard u fight the thoughts just come back. mine started a few days ago again. the first thing i did was call my best friend. he stayed on the phone with me until i fell asleep. im very lucky to have him, he saved my life many times. my point is u have to fight it. its not helping, even though it may feel that way while u do it. its difficult yes, but u have to find another way to take this anger out.

2 years ago i used to cut like that too. when my best friend killed himself i had really had enough and wanted to die. i tried too but my parents caught me, they got me help and i was alot better and then last year it started up again, not as bad but i had just got so stressed. my other best friend found out about it and got mad so i promised him i'd never do it again. i haven't since. you really don't realize how bad you're hurting people by hurting yourself until you watch them break down and cry because of it... anyways, i would have told him but since you already did i guess it doesn't matter...
best of luck to you

Haha...

I also stick by what Ryan said....

Ha...ha....ha......HA!

personally i say do whats right, i know how it feels to hurt the one you love, i did it earlier this year, many times in fact, i just figure i cant stop so why try, ill just end up not being abe to

If you stop again then theres really no need to tell him. You've stopped before so stop again now before you get carried away. If you ever need to talk to anyone you can always email me :) Addy is on my profile.

true friends are a shoulder to cry on. always cry on theirs. you have to sort your priorities.

i just want you to know that my best friend helped me thru my depression and im sure ur best friend can do the same. just try. they're there for you.
