ya, hey, welcome to the site! yup, u'll not be alone here...
and u're not crazy, i've not confided to my parents ever... and i dont want them to know anything much abt me (:
but they do care and if u're getting along fine, u can try talking to them. they won't understand but they sure do care.
hope u like it here!

Heya,
First off welcome to RYL, I hope you find it helpful here and it helps you feel less alone. You are not crazy at all and definetely not alone in thinking that, I often find myself thinking that i am crazy too. Self-Harming doesn't make you crazy tho, it is a coping mechanism. Not a healthy one but still a coping mechanism nonetheless. Take care of yourself and if you ever need someone to chat to i am only a PM away.

hi there! i was in the same position about a year ago. i was afraid of counselors too. i thought i was annoying them and i just faked my way out of sessions. try to stick with it. i eventually opened up to them. they're there to help!! i promise. but welcome to the site. it helped me a lot. good luck with every thing love!!

Hey ! Welcome to RYL :)
Course you're not crazy, lovely. & By all the replies I think you can see you're not alone :)
I agree with you about counsellors, but some people find them helpful so it's worth a shot . . .
I hope you find RYL helpful to you.
