Some people just don't know how to deal with it, Obviously it shocked your friend and she reacted badly. It's true when we self harm we know we shouldnt do it but there are many of us in steady relationships and we are all aware of how it hurts our loved ones. Have you tried explaining why you do it? She may not understand why you do it alot of people in my life do not understand that when you cut you often feel no pain and its a way of coping. She should stick by you just give her a little time, It most probably hurt her aswell to see that you harm yourself. Self harm is a mental health problem and a coping mechanism. Its good that you are trying to stop also remember relapsing is a part of recovery and we all slip up, I think you need to assess the reasons you cut etc find an insentive to stop, like your girlfriend, does your girlfriend know about this? if so how does she feel?
