Started again

[Ethan1369]

I am really mad at myself... I cut myself again last night after 3 months without any form of self harm. I also feel worse then I ever have. I have started talking to my friends less and everyone is always asking what is wrong so I will put on my fake smile and make up a lame excuse. One thing that made my best friend worried about was she talking to me and her hand accidentally touched my arm (We were sitting by each other) and I immediately tensed up and grabbed my arm with my cut (which she knew about) and held my hand over it for a few minutes before I finally calmed down and it scared her. My best friend also told me that she cut her thighs really bad a few days ago because her and her mom got into another huge argument which ruined her night because she had just got home from homecoming at her boyfriends school and her mom just freaks out at nothing and took away her phone, blocked her Facebook, and won't let her hang out for a while. I'm not really good at being there for others when they are in need and I don't know how to handle my friend.

Sorry for my ranting but I really need to talk to someone but I don't know who... :/

You made it to 3 months? that is amazing. and because you have done it once, that means you can do it again. Though i cannot really help your friend, i can help you. Take a look at this thread (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=190748)first. But now.

You made it 3 months. that is amazing. That means you can do it again. If you ever want to talk, just PM me. I will listen

Check the thread that Niilo linked. 3 months is really really good! Unfortunately replacing is normal, but you did it for 3 months you can do it again.
Just be there for your friend, when she needs to vent be the there to listen, you can show her that thread also to stop cutting. Because in the end, it just makes things worst.

try for another 3 months, and 6 months, and if you relapse just keep trying, I hope you feel better about yourself and things start looking up

Thanks for your advice! I do the butterfly project with my friends and it does usually help... and sometimes I draw a cut on myself instead of actually doing it.

Hey, I'm in the same boat as you right now. Here we're all trying to get over stuff together. PM me if you want to talk, I'd be glad to.
