Hiya,
I know I don't know you, but I just wanted to say, I feel so proud of you!
What you did today does take immense courage, and getting that reaction from someone who was a friend, must have really hurt.
I know how hard it can be with friends/former friends, I've just spent a week in Vienna, the girl I was sharing a room and bed with, (the hotel mucked up the 'double' rooms =/),wouldn't even look at me. Someone had told her previously that I had badly scarred arms and legs, and she just avoided the situation totally. Even when it really felt like she was about to say something she just didn't.
I must admit that it does sound like this person actually cares enough to kick up a fuss though, as crazy as it sounds. She probably doesn't know how to react, whether or not it is the fact you had your scars on show, or just the knowledge that you have been harming yourself.
I guess we kinda have to think, if we had never started self harming, and we were in that persons position, we would probably be equally shocked, even if we didn't react in the same way. Try and see it from where she is standing, and if you get the chance, maybe try and explain to her why you did what you did, and maybe she might understand a little more.
Sorry this post is so long, and that i can't be of any decent help!
But just know, if you ever want to talk, you can PM me anytime hun =]
Love Abi xx
