For the last month, I've been lying to my friends, and everyone else, about my cutting problem. I've been telling people that I quit, and I haven't. I feel awful, and I've actually been getting worse... I'm sorry :tears:
There's a lot of pressure to "get better" from self harm. Which certainly doesn't help, if stress or disappointment is one of your triggers. You don't have to apologize to anyone, ever. You'll take it at your own pace you know?
I know its how its so hard to be asked about something you wanna hide. especially something so painfull.dont worry about lying about it. its understandable. its been 8 months since i stopped cutting. i know its hard and sometimes i get to point where i almost cut. Have ever tried postponing it. like you have a test on friday at school. so you set a goal to cut not untill friday and when its friday you set another goal date. That really helped a lot on the first 6 months then i started controlling my impulses better. hope you better.
