Today, i was going through a really tough time, i cut myself6 times because of everything that was going on. I didnt want to but i thought it would help me through it. I told my best friend about it because she is my best friend and I can tell her everything. My best friend does not believe in self harm and is very much opposed to believing that cutting youself is the way out of problems. She is quite logical and is horrified at the idea of hurting yourself for something someone else made you feel and leaving permanant marks of your skin because of it. When i told my best friend, over text, she said she had to go for the night. I saw her the next morning on the bus and i asked her why she had to go. She lifted her sleeve and showed me the 6 cuts she made in her skin last night. Her words were "Heres the deal, if you cut yourself ever again, i will too. You hurt yourself, and your hurting your best friend twice as much"
My best friend saved me from myself.
