• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Hey, I need some advice....


Well....I wanna tell a friend of mine about my cutting and SI. But I'm not so sure how to tell her.
I don't wanna lose her as a friend, but I also feel like I need to get this off my chest.

But theres a little twist...

Her mom works in the nurses office at school. and its kinda hard to explain, but the nurses office is connected to the counselors part of the school, so I'm worried that if I tell her that she'll freak, and tell her mom, and that would be a big mess. I'm just not ready to go see someone for help. And if that ever happened, the counselor would call home, and man...I've been through that before when the abuse came out, and I don't wanna go through it again.

So.....any ideas??

I've been thinking that maybe I should just not tell her, so that I don't jeprodize the situation...

help! :help:

Hey Hun :hug:.
I think it's awesome that you want to tell your friend. Wow! I really think you should talk to her too - you can do it. Don't let the fears of 'if' and 'but' stop you talking to your friend - this is far more important than that. You can do it Beautiful! I'm here praying for you the whole time too - I have faith in you Sweetie. :hug:
