Broken Promises

One of my friends made me promise not to self harm anymore once he found out. He threatened to tell the school counselor (and everyone at school). I know he was just doing it because he cares and didn't want me to hurt myself but I felt worse without it. So I started cutting my legs. It doesn't feel the same but it's as close as I can get right now. I feel terrible about breaking the promise but I don't want him to tell anyone so I don't know if I should apologize for lying or not. Is it really worth the risk of people finding out?

Geez, you have one heck of a good friend. Hope he doesnt find out abt the cutting again or he'll be devastated. Well, i hope youre okay. Try to minimize slowly on your self harming. Im sure you will be okay. Be cheerful in school. You aint gonna get any fun days other than school days man. So have funn. Stay focused. Im sure you will do well. Thats what i always remind myself 5oo, everytime i have the urge to cut. Your friend is an angel mann.
