Ugh.
 
I introduced myself here a while back (July or something) because I was having a lot of problems with SI and depression but I haven't been on since. Lately, I've been feeling pretty well though and haven't SI'd since. The other day though, after thinking about cutting for a few days, I did but not badly. I already felt crappy because I didn't want to have to talk about this in therapy again, tell my parents, and feel like a failure all over again. I'd started to move past it and I was feeling better when, a friend jokingly pulled up the sleeves of my shirt and checked my arms. I told him about my cutting back in April, only because I had to explain why I was home from boarding school and he's been kind of a jerk about it ever since (the arm checks are a new addition.) He saw the mark on my forearm and refused to talk to me after. We were at play rehearsal and I don't know if he told anyone (I doubt it) but everyone was paying attention to me and I felt really out of it the rest of the time. I now feel really awkward around him and find myself feeling worse than I have in a while. Sorry this was kind of long. I just don't feel like I can tell anyone around me about my cutting again.

Sweetie well done for being so strong...i used to get arm checks too *sigh* so i started cutting other bits of my body...
You were probably just paranoid about people looking at you...i get that feeling too sometimes...
Maybe your mate doesn't understand the whole concept of SI and needs it explaining to him...he probably feels hurt that you turned to a knife/blade whatever rather than him first...
I think it would be a good idea to let someone know your not at your best right now...you dont have to tell them you have cut just that you need some more support.
Do you get any kind of support at school?

Take care.

Well, thankfully, I'm home for school now so I have my parents around which is really helpful. I do want to tell them I'm not in top form but it's hard to break out of how easy it is when I'm doing fine.
