i think i self harm and my friend wants me to tell someone?!


Question: I think i self harm and my friend wants me to tell someone?
i keep scratching myself until i bleed and i do it everytime i feel depressed as it eases the pain and makes me feel better-less guilty about myself.
But the other day my friend found out and she told me i have until wednesday to tell someone or she will ! i dont think what i am doing is that bad or even self harm-she disagrees. is it self harm and if it is do i have to tell someone? if i do tell how should i say it?

Answers:

It is self-harm, and it will only spiral out of control, so your friend's right, you should tell someone.

How to tell, just sit down with your Mom, or Mom, and Dad, and tell 'em, explain why you do it(because you're having a hard time dealing with feeling depressed, and feel guilty), and ask 'em for help. The discussion should pretty much move from there.

Why don't you talk to someone as your friend suggests? The person you talk to can either help you get help or reassure your friend that it's okay. The fact that you do it every time you're depressed and that it makes you feel better when you do it makes me think your friend might be right, but a real-life adult, preferably with some mental health training, will be more able to give you an accurate answer.



it is self harm i know because i am trying to stop self harming and it is best if you tell someone you don`t have to but it is the best idea you need someone to talk to it will help you if you want you can ask your friend how knows to keep it a secret and talk to her about that helped me i just told my friend about it and know i talk to him when i feel really ad it really helps i hope this helps you



It is self-harm. You are harming yourself (duh). You're not using a weapon or anything but you're causing yourself to bleed! And it has the same effect; you do it when you're depressed. You do need to tell someone. Just say it how you said it now. Good luck with your endeavor, you can do it!



Your friend is correct. I mainly state this because I have done the same thing and you stated it makes you feel better. You need to see a professional and tell them exactly how you FEEL and why you are hurting yourself. If you do not get help this could progress to cutting. I hope you get help soon.



i asked the same question yesterday, but i cut myself. I think you should get a therepist, it helps, i wouldn;t know how to tell someone because i didn't yet, but if your strong enought, please do. Good luck!

What someone needs to do is knock some sense into you. Yes, you need to tell someone about it. Harming yourself doesn't solve anything, it only makes it worse. It's only up to you on how you should approach this issue. I wish you the best.



are you scratching yourself because you are itchy or because you want to hurt yourself? if it because it makes you feel better to cause pain to yourself then yes i agree with her.



You should talk to someone about this as it could be self harming, help is always best x
