Depression Understood Forums

i couldnt take it anymore.. i just had to self-harm, i had too.. im sorry for being a failure, i really am. i went back to self-harming and i hate myself even more. i dont want to tell my friends or my parents. im scared.. i dont know what to do. im sorry.

You aren't a failure. But you need to let someone know what you are doing so you can get the help you need so you wont have to feel like doing this. Please don't put yourself down, because that just gives you a reason to do it more. Set goals for yourself on going so long without it. Count the days, then if you do slip, dont beat yourself up about it, but say alright i slipped but i went so many days, this time I am going to do even longer. Its what has helped me with my self-harm.
