Can I stop them from worrying?


Question Posted Wednesday October 20 2004, 5:01 pm

Ok, I'm a 10th grader who really has a life I like.There are a couple of things I don't like, and one of them is how much my friends worry about me. Last year, midyear, they started to freak out about me, and almost every day they'd ask what I did the night before. They were scared I was cutting, I wasn't. Now, this year, they are still after me about it, and some of them think I"m suicidal (no, I'm not depressed, though I sometimes act like it), and not only are my school friends thinking this way, so are my friends who dont' attend my school, and a bunch of my dance friends think this too! Is there any way I can convince them that I'm fine? It's making me crazy, and I've got enough to stress about right now.
thanks!

you know..they really care...about you. You should be glad to have such friends. They will child out..In the long run..your actions will show them that you are not cutting..see..see am CUT free. So put up wiht it for a bit longer..they will ease up.

Just let them know that your fine. And like act happier when you're around them so they wont worry. Cuz if you know that your not suicidal then you have nothing to worry about.

*Hey*
Okay! even though i dont know you i do believe you about how you dont cut urslef! well like everyone else prolly said , you should talk to them ! they need to know how you feel about this and how much stress they are causing you and stuff! okay i have a little story for ya i know some people that cut them selves and you can tell that they do becz they have cuts on they waist and that r really deep! so it might be weird but show them taht you dont have any cuts and tell them that you are glad taht they worry about you but them are pushin this one a little bit to much! i hope i helped!

thats a tuffy... but they should understand that everyone has bad days sometimes. Tell them that its annoying and tell them to trust you like a true friend would tell them that your getting ticked off with them. Sometimes thoug, a friend just wants to care alot. give them a taste of their own medicine. get on to their cases and show them how annoying it is. trust me i'll work. Once they see how fustrating it is they'll stop. hopefully. is there like proof that your cutting or something why do they say that ur cutting? cuz it could be all rumors. For your friends other schools.. i dunno what to tell you..m/b hang out with them some more and when you do be perky and happy and tell them good stff that has happened... they cant possibly think that you are going through depression then can they?

I don't know if this is the best advice, but if my friends did that to me I would like flipp out on them and tell them that I'm not sucidial and blah blah. I mean I guess you can tell them and tell them but I'm assuming you've already done that and it didn't work. So maybe take my approach?lol

Good luck...

well for one if somtimes you seem depressed...then maybe thats where they get it from...maybe you dont talk to them enough..or maybe you say things like you did in your question about having enough stress and going crazy..watch what you do and say..or just tell them youre fine but them constantly bugging you about it is going to make you go crazy..then if they dont get the picture it shows they dont care what you have to say and dont trust the fact that you might actually be ok..hope i helped.
