Friends won't leave me alone?!


Question: I self harm but I'm working on stopping. It's been 1day since I have not cut. That's good because I used to cut everyday. They always say are you okay? Do you need to talk? I know they love me and just trying to help but I'm tired of it. Amanda is always wanting to see my thighs to check for new cuts. How do I get them to stop?

I have a friend who is just like you and always use to cut, your friends worry about you a lot and they just don't want anything to happen to you. It's really a good thing that your trying to stop and it's really important that you do becuase what your doing is really dangerous. I made my friend promise me that she would tell me when she cut and why, you should really tell at least one person about it and make sure that they trust that you don't cut at the moment. One day is good for now but you really need to keep going for awhile. Give your friends a chance.
Hope everything gets better.

Do you have an adult you can go to for help? School nurse or counselor, clergyperson, family friend or relative? this is too much for you to do on your own. You need professional help. Please get it.

its your fault there doing this bc you cut youself. they are not going to stop until you have made alot more progress.

stop cutting yourself so they will stop worrying about you..talk to them instead of cutting it really does help

Just explain to them u love them but back off. Maybe if they are scared u are still cutting tell them they can check Ur arms one a month or something like that.

Stop cutting yourself. I mean come on, how many times do do believe a lia? or trust a thief? or a cheat? Listen, you got problems and your friends care about you. We should all be so lucky. SO just drop trau and show there are no cuts and everyone will eventually trust you.

Sounds like one of more of you have a Borderline personality. Get professional help? Why do you cut? Does it release stress, make you feel better or is it peer pressure. Please seek professional help and get on medication and therapy For more information and resources see source

Good for you for stopping. I've been there and through almost exactly the same situation. What I did was I talked to each of them individually and told them that I really appreciated their attention and concern, but that I was finally ready to move on and just wanted to get on with life, that I was finally mature enough to go to them if I needed help. They kinda got the hint.

Depending on your friends' maturity, your history, etc. you may need to change the approach, but hopefully something like that will get the point across.
