Triggering (SI) - Don't know how to react, could do with some advice

My friend and I are on a trip on the other side of the country. We live in Canada, so it is pretty far. Anyways, we are both pretty out of out element and kind of sleepy as we are in another time zone (even if it is only 3 hours, it's messing with us a little). The friend I am with does not know anything about the SI/ED or OD problems I have had since at the moment I'm able to eat relatively normally and am not actively cutting since I'm trying to recover.

The last couple days though I've started to feel really sad and getting more urges than I have in the last few months. I don't miss my parents, so I'm not homesick (though I could do with having my blankie here!) I've been trying to work through it on my own since I don't want to bother anyone back home. Two of my friends back home know, and so I was trying not to get them involved. I've had to talk to them a couple times about benign things because I've needed to "hear their voice", even it was through text.

the thing I need help with is that today on facebook I received an honesty box reply about the scars in one of the pictures I posted. Honesty box lets people send you messages anonymously about anything. The message wasn't bad or anything, they just said that seeing the scars made them sad and they hoped I was feeling and doing better, but I hate that I don't know who it is! I wrote back asking who they were, but how should I handle this? Does it just depend on who it is? how do I politely say "I'm fine, back off" and what if they are someone who I really can't have knowing!? I know it's a girl, which is good, but I'm scared they are going to tell!

I've been doing okay the last little while but I can feel it slipping away again. I'm so scared as to who this person is and what their intentions are.

I don't have much advice, but posting photos with scars visible in might not have been the best idea if you don't want people to know?

Edit, I may well have misread and not understood so if I have got it wrong just tell me to ssshhh.



Heaven makes me free of it,

I think maybe this person cares about you if they said this:

Stay safe and keep smiling. Let this person in they want to help you.

It's tragic; you tried to cut yourself in half,
But this isn't magic; in fact it's something much more dark, or more dramatic
Self harm, that’s what they call it.
'Cause it just affects you.
It's your life, your body, so you can choose what you do,
And if one day you can't rein it in,
and of your last breath you are the only witness,
Then so be it, cause it’s your last breath,
and it's nobody else’s business.

I know it was not the best move. I didn't know that any scars were visible in any picture. I was mass uploading them all onto facebook because my camara was getting full.
My friend took the picture of us, and I didn't see it until I got the message.
I deleted it right when I realized, but it was too late.
Sorry, I just reread it and it didn't really get the point across very clearly.
the photo she saw was one of about 300 I uploaded from the trip, so it wasn't me uploading specific SI pics.
