Triggering (SI) - kinda freaking out, just looking for some guidance

[darkstar]

hey,
ok see here is the thing, i use't to cut myself, but i stopped, thing is a few nights ago one of my friends saw the scars on my arms and realised what they were from. he knew my two other friends quite well so noww they all know.
they each texted me and sounded really supportive, but quickly stopped texting, i cant help shake the feeling that they are avoiding me for what ever reason, betrayal, fear, or just not understanding.
i have had that running around and around my mind ever since. these people are the few important to me in the world. and i fear my past has driven them from me.
what i really want to know is has anyone been in a similar situation?
what are the odds its a phase?

I know how you feel. My friend avoided me after she saw my scars...I didn't know what to do. Then one day I asked her if she was really my friend and if she cared about me. She said it scared her. I told her that all I wanted was a friend right now. She still didn't understand, but she was very supportive after that. I'm sorry and I hope everything works out. Take care.

Hmmm, I'm sure they aren't advoiding you, sweetie.
I'm sure they're just worried or something, try not to get yourself too worked up over it. *HUGS* xo.
