I haven’t been on the SP for a while since January and somethings have changed since then but to me the major change was my friend found out I was self harming and my family found out and they said “talk about it you have to it’s gonna make you feel better you have to talk about it” but not talking it makes it better feel better I just have to keep moving and not think about it. But before my friend found out a couple of people at school saw, 1 person saw and said “omg” but didn’t know what to say but I didn’t expect them to because what do you say to that, and another person saw it they told me I should stop they self harmed before and things got better for them when they stopped and gave me hug. I try not to think about it sometimes it works, I haven’t thought about it as much as I did when I was self harming but I still think about it about once in while.

I remember when I was left looking after my younger brother awhile back now and he saw my cuts, I tried to convince him not to say anything but he was young and naive,
Got confronted by my mother as soon as she came through the door more or less, was pretty devastating but it did start a path in the right direction of getting the right kind of help and support I needed at the time.
Self harm isn’t something you should ignore or try to hide, it only worsens and worsens, in many cases people become addicted to that kind of behaviour and find it impossible to stop.
You want to at least try and get some kind of support there and make an attempt to get better, putting it off isn’t helping you in the long run, just a temporary solution that’ll build up until it’s too much.
Ur right when u tell people it does help but for how long how much can u tell someone ? What do and don’t u tell them
