My addiction isn’t to any drugs or alcohol in fact I’ve never done anything like that. My addiction is self harm, and with that comes suicidal thoughts. Right now the most important person in my goddamned life thinks they are a shitty person to me. When they’re not they helped me through so much stuff. And it’s hurting internally and I don’t know what to do. I’m trying everything I can not to just cut up my leg.

Your friends feelings aren’t facts.
Distract yourself. Don’t punish yourself based on something someone said.
Feelings change fast. That person may apologize tomorrow. Maybe not.
There are many people who frequents this forum who have successfully stopped cutting themselves.
I think the feelings your having are similar to feelings alcoholics and addicts have. I don’t want to feel this so I will drink, or use drugs. For me it took stupid amounts to make me not feel. That’s how I practiced self harm.
Why did I punish myself over things someone said? it doesn’t make sense. But I did it.
Today I recognize that just because someone hurts my feelings isn’t a good reason to harm myself.
I’m glad your here. It won’t fix anything. There are people here who you will probably relate to more than me.
I just wanted to let you know that your voice is heard. And you matter.
Try the daily check in thread. I think you will find people who understand what your feeling and give more relatable advise than I have.
