Just a ramble and any advice welcome :)

:) Heya warning you now..i tend to ramble ;)
Well i have been self-harming for a few months i think i've almost managed to quit though so well..yay (I mainly do it on the back of my hand and up my arm) :wub:
And my ex-girlfriend self-harms so we both try to help each other so i've never needed anyones help to get through well i like to think so :D Anyway i've had troubles with my family almost finding out but have very narrowly managed to avoid them :) but now all my friends now know i've done/i'm doing it since we all started wearing out summer PE uniform and the excuses of my pets and gardening could only last so long :/
but my friends didn't really know how to deal with it so some of them make jokes and some of them just block it out which was absolutely fine with me, but recently my boyfriends mates found out since we've all been hanging together and there is this one guy who is friends with me and has easy contact with my brother and it's sweet really but he worries. A lot :whoops: .
And he doesn't really understand so he thinks i can just quit like that and it's something thats really easy to control when i'm sure you'll know it's not.
But he now says that if he sees absolutely any more cuts he'll tell my brother and my family will know and i just can't deal with that currently i have way to much on my plate :(
I am almost recovered i think and if any more people interfere i know it'll just make more things worse. PLUS I'm moving schools this Friday and it's not gonna be a very safe time for my self-harming because it's also how i'm used to dealing with a stress over-load :lol:
So i know it's not exactly easy to give advice on this 'cos there wasn't really a question...but i just needed somewhere to vent :D Thanks

Venting can help! Have you tried talking to him about this and why you don't want your family to know? Maybe also finding some factsheets online about self-harm that you can give him would help. Most people, as you said, just don't understand how it is an addiction and not something you just 'get over' but having something to read infront of them often helps to educate them.

I know it can be hard to talk about, but talking to people about your situation and how you feel can help to change things and help them to understand.

Maybe you should talk to this guy? Tell him that you're on your way to stopping and that it's getting better.

I guess at the end of the day all you can do is hope that he doesn't tell your family. If he does though it may not be as bad as you think and may actually help you.

Well done for nearly stopping :)
