I cut the first time in spring and told one person (Jonathan) after a month or two of not cutting i thought that was over then a week ago i cut several times, they were deep and they scarred. i told 4 other friends since then they've all cared, my trick was not telling super close friends, just friends, (matt, johnny, Bella, Rachel) they helped me understand what i was doing to myself. last night i was going insane and even though it was the middle of the night, i sent one a message on facebook and another one a txt..they woke up and talked to me at 3am...and that ment so much to me...instead of crying and feeling so ashamed, i feel hopeful and happy, actually happy...my new info box on fb is MBJR <3 <3<3<3<3 is the new continual chant in my head, and so happy for it. every day at 8:47 i post a secret status that tells my friends that i've gone another day w/o cutting...they really care for me :D
**The reason i posted this was i wanted to help others who are looking for a way to stop..here are my steps i took:
1) tell at least one person that u know will b there for u and will care, and not freak
2) answer their questions that they have, cuz they're asking them bcuz they care
3) let them know u appreciate their help..tell them thank u every time they say something encouraging about ur SH
4) keep them updated on wat u want to SH about or wen u want to, and go ahead and give them the details on y u do SH if u feel comfortable
5) on ur SH free aniversary send them a txt or an email or an IM keep them updated cuz if u find the right person to talk about this with they will care, and they will want to feel involved in helping u
** i do know what it feels like to have a friend cut so i wanted to help her and b there for her no matter wat and i didn't care if she txted me during school if she was home sick and wanted to cut, i went to the bathroom and helped her through it....but that's another story..i really hope this helps people i am eternally greatful for MBJR if u find that person or people u wanna tell and r completely positive they'll b with u then tell them**o and if u for some reason cant find anyone, just log on to VT and I'll almost always b here
