How can I tell them the truth?

[Dipka]

Ok ok, sorry but I'm going to have to explain some things first.
I'v self harmed since August last year, I used a MASSIVE ammount of courrage and told someone about it end of November/start of December..ish
I trusted them whith what had been my single biggest secret, I was able to tell them 'there is something I think you need to know but I cant tell you' for about 3/4 weeks.
I trusted them to do what I asked, wich was to tell both me dad and my mum, ask them not to mention it, and then help me stop. They dident, they told LOADS of peole.
They left just before we broke up for maternaty leave (good ridence!) however since they have been gone it's been even harder for me. Everyone who firstly knows I SH thinks I do it 2/3 times a month, I really do it every day.
I cant tell anywone now thow, not after how people reacted last time I voluentry spoke to anyone about it, and now that person I used to trust has gone I dont even have anyone I could try and trust.
What should I do?

itll be ok juss remember it takes a lil bit of time and if people ask you about it politely say i dont do that anymore and that was the old me. I mean patience and trust are the hardest thing to get and or earn so just be patient with it and hey be happy! if everybody sees you as a happy person then they wont think that you are self harming yourself n just smile and all that good stuff ya know :)

I think it really sucks when someone doesn't respect your trust, but there were not a proper friend if they told people. I think you need to regain trust in people before you go about tackling your SH. You need to be able to trust people, so they can help you and you can learn from them.
I dont know how old you are and forgive me if im wrong, but you could go and speak to a school counsellor? There are people out there that want to help. You just have to find them. All of us on VT are here to help. So vm/pm me anytime :)

It's not the old me, it's the current me
