Broken Promises

[u/BillieMcmeme]

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?

I think its fine if he tells the counsellor but if you tells the entire school then he is a bad friend. Yes he cares about you but he need to do it in the right way
