Just Admit it
you loved seeing me crumble to pieces

“Please don’t be angry…”, a daughter says to her mother after telling her she cuts.
“Try to understand, don’t get mad.” a boy says to his friend after confiding in him.
“I’m so sorry...” a girl says to her father after he sees the marks on her body.
Something is seriously wrong with this. If someone confides in you their most guarded secret, that they self harm, do not get angry. The trauma that self harmers go through, not only when they actually harm themselves but when they tell people about it, is trauma you can’t even think to imagine. The feeling of opening up such private things is the scariest feeling in the world, please try to understand.
When you get mad at a friend, sibling or even child, you’re doing nothing but worsening their problems. At such times literally all we want is for you to hug us and to tell us you will support and always love us. By throwing a fit and getting angry, you make things so much worse. Don’t make someone feel ashamed of their mental illness, it isn’t something they can necessarily control.
The courage it takes to say “I need your help” is something many people do not have, and so many people underestimate it. I honestly applaud you if you have the mental strength to ask someone for help. If you self harm, please tell someone. It’s the hardest thing in the whole wide world and I was stupid not to do it before my parents found out. Don’t be ashamed of yourself, what you’re doing isn’t disgusting or shameful, it’s sad and you don’t need a smack, you need someone to talk to and you need a hug. Never apologise for self harm, it’s not your fault.
