Sorry to hear about your fight with your sister, my sister and I always fight and it sucks.

I'm happy to hear that you told your parents about your self harm and suicide attempts. It might not have been in the way you intended, especially since you say you never wanted to tell, but I think this is a huge step in moving on towards the future.

Don't feel bad about not telling them about it before. They might be sad that you didn't let them help you, but the important thing is that they know now, and maybe now you will be able to ask them for help if you need it.

It might not seem like a good thing at the moment, but it's not stupid at all; hopefully you will soon see this as a big step in recovery.

I'm glad your last suicide attempt and final cut were in 2005, keep it up.
PM me if you need to talk.

Hi :)
Im sorry you've had an argument with your sister, arguments suck big time and can be so stressful, I hope you two sort it ouut soon. After self harming for 14 years, 22 months and 2 weeks is one hell of an achievement, congratulations, that really is amazing. Leeds festival is very much deserved and I hope you have a really fantastic time.

Telling your parents, all be it scary is another huge achievment, it must be good to be able to tell them that you are almost 2 years free. Your parents are probably shocked, its hard for a parent to know their child was hurting and kept it hidden, its hard for them to know their child was harming themselves. I think you need to talk to them, tell them why you never told them, why you did it and how you stopped.
It will be hard for them at first but im sure they'll understand, it might make more sympathetic and understanding when you are struggling as well. It will also give you an outlet for when you need to talk.

I hope you're ok, take care

Don't feel bad that you told them! It wasn't stupid at all; in fact it was probably one of the best things you could have done for yourself. At least now its out there and you don't have to carry it around all by yourself.

And congratulations about leaving a lot of that back in '05. That's amazing.
