I don't understand life
I feel like I'm fooling everyone around me. I've managed to fool every single person and made them believe that I am someone I am not. Me myself don't know who...

Best friend
I ghosted one of mine. I wasnt in my right mind that time. Now it feels really awkward between both of us. We haven't been talking to each other for more than 4...
Yes tell someone you trust if you can, it will be easier to carry than alone
ReplyBut how?
ReplyWhenever your talking to them 1 on 1 you can just say "can I tell you about something?" Or, yk, some variation of that. That's what I'd do.
Replyyes.
Replyif you feel comfortable, yes.
ReplyYour choice. Imo its not a big deal.
ReplyBut should I wait for someone to find out or should I just tell someone, you know?
ReplyYeah, if you want to stop. Please stop though. You are loved beyond measure. There is a God that is in control that wants tangible relationship with you.
ReplyI am a Christian, the writer of this post. And I find that the only one I can talk to, is God. He's been helping me through this... but I know it's only a matter of time before someone finds out. I have a great relationship with God, even though it's been a couple weeks since I last talked to Him... but do you know any online churches, videos or anything to help with this issue with a Christian perspective? It's so hard
ReplyAllen Parr on youtube and from 3:00PM - 4:00PM on the KWAVE radio station, theres something called pastors perspective. You can call in and ask your question. Ben coursons book on Flirting with darkness.
Replyif it's someone you're close to and it bothers you to hide, and you trust them, yes you should. just show them your cuts. ask them if they've ever seen them before. if they're very close to you, chances are they know and haven't asked you for fear of triggering. really depends how close the two of you are. i wouldn't unless you're sure you'd get a positive, supportive response.
ReplyBut I'm seriously not close to anyone. There is a boy I'm friends with, but he and I barely talk about serious subjects. My parents barely know me, and my sisters would both have heartattacks, seriously.
ReplyYes, but your friend can't do anything more than help you feel less alone with the secret the next step is to see a therapist or some professional. Because you need and deserve actual help.
ReplyBut that costs money... and I'd have to talk to my parents.
I just can't do that.
ReplyYou should stop before you can't.
ReplyTbh the way one of my friend found out was they saw the marks on my arm. Later I explained to my closer friend that I do ir. I find its sm easier to tell someone something over text. I could never talk about my mental health in person
ReplyI have the same problem.
ReplyIt's nice not to be alone. Yet it's sad in our situation.
