What should I say?


Question Posted Sunday March 11 2007, 2:54 pm

I tried to cut myself but I didn't go through with it. I called my best friend that night crying my eyes out. & he kept asking me why i was gunna do it. But I couldn't give him an answer because I did because of him. (I like him) But I can't tell him that he was the cause cuz he would get wicked depressedand probably hurt himself. But he keeps asking why I did it. And I don't know what to say to him. help?

Honey, unless he did something horrible to you, it's doubtful that it's just him that made you almost cut yourself. You like him, yes, and this is giving you angst, but this would not get you to consider self harm on it's own.

First of all, you have to examine your own feelings... have you felt this way before? You could just be depressed in general, in one of those moods where anything can set you off. I suggest you tell someone who knows more about this sort of thing, get help from a guidance councillor, psychiatrist, ect to make sure that in the future when this happens it won't be the real thing.

On what to tell your friend: tell him the truth, but don't make him feel like he is the sole cause of this because he likely isn't and in that case doesn't deserve the blame.

If you're in this much turmoil, there are probably other hidden issues as well as the main one on top that you can see. Its important to talk to him and sort out how you feel about that but remember the other issues aren't going away on their own, either!

i think you should tell him how you feel.
i know sometimes that is really hard.
so if you don't think you can do it over the phone or to his face maybe you could write a note. then you can think everything out and plot it out perfectly. or you could get a friend to tell him for you.
i know how you feel and trust me you will feel way better if he knows the truth.

hope i helped :)
