Hi so I want to tell my friends about my self harm but I don’t know how to can anybody share their experiences with this. I have wrote a paragraph and was gonna send that. Should I??
Friends: Hi so I want to tell my... - Mental Health Sup...
Friends
Maybe start with one friend, your closest best friend or one who is most likely to be understanding. I don’t have personal experience with self harm but I have told a few friends about my anxiety and I feel like I’m just annoying them, which kind of made me feel bad about myself.
I hope you can get to a positive place 🙏
Thanks I told one, she has anxiety similar to me and she was so supportive it was unreal. Not the reaction I was thinking I would get, she was amazing, and I feel like if I need to I can ask or talk to her when I’m feeling an urge or when I’m down overwhelmed or stressed. Don’t feel bad you probably won’t be annoying them xx
I wish I had a friend like that. I feel like I’m the only person in my very loose social circle that has depression. I bottle it up rather than talk to anyone about it and it gives me regular headaches.
It’s not the same talking to someone who you can’t relate to about it.
Yeah I get it I used to have judge friends before these and anything I said about stuff they’d make jokes about mental health that really pisses me off
I’m glad I have new friends though. If you need someone to talk to you can always message me xx
Thanks, keep well 😊
You too 😊
