I made a commitment to stop cutting but I broke it today. One single, deep cut across my thigh. Felt so good.....but then of course came the shame and guilt. Part of me wants to tell my friend but the other part of me doesnt want to.

You relapsed. This isn't a failure, but a small step towards success.
These things happen, and you should not feel overly guilty about it.
It is very hard to just stop self harming, and never go back, especially when you are still in your teens.

If you feel that your friend really can help you, I would talk to her about it.
I could see why you'd feel guilty and not want to tell her, but it's better to just let everything out to a person you trust.

She will (hopefully) understand what you've been going through, and how hard you tried, and she will help you through it.
