boyfriend help: alright so last night I got drunk with my best friend, her boyfriend and 2 of our other guy friends. - Help.com

alright so last night I got drunk with my best friend, her boyfriend and 2 of our other guy friends.

whenever I get drunk I talk a loooot and I usually end up telling things that I shouldn’t. well if any of you all have happened to read any of my past posts then you’ll know that I have had a rough past. and i had kept all of that from my best friend because it wasn’t her burden to bear. i ended up telling her and her boyfriend (who i’ve become pretty close friends with as well) that i had been raped and had been self harming since then (which has been a while) and at first she was really upset with me that I hadn’t told her sooner. they were both really understanding about it though. the reason i told them was because i’m trying to stop self harming. I had gone a while with out doing it but then i started up again pretty heavily. at the moment i haven’t hurt myself since the first week of february. i told them because i need someone to hold me accountable for my actions. i feel like if i have someone that’s gonna be looking for cuts or any kind of injury i’ll be less likely to do it. her boyfriend told me that if he suspected i was harming again or saw any fresh cuts that he was going to take me to the hospital. that scares me. was he wrong to say that or is that just him looking out for me? after i sobered up this morning i kinda wish i would have kept all that to myself…

It’s a shock to know that one of your close friends have been self-harming. Believe you me, some people are confused as to how to help you deal with it. They haven’t seen the pain you have seen nor felt it so it’s only natural that bringing you to the hospital would be his immediate response. It’s actually a good thing that you’ve told someone though, because as long as you trust this person, they’ll hold you accountable and you don’t have to feel the need to be so secretive. If you’re really pained and anxious about his reaction to the situation, my clearest advice would be communication. Tell him how you feel and listen to how your friends feel too. Chances are they care for you and are scared for your health. It’s a delicate decision for either of you guys to address. Other than that, what’s done is done. Although you were drunk, I’m sure telling your friends will benefit you more than it will harm you.

Well atuf like that is realy hard to keep it in because it will burn you from the inside out so it was a good thing you told them and they worry about you because they, u don’t have to be scare to go to the hospital it’s just a mother way to get help because cutting ur self is not the answer or the best way to diel with problems like that because iwhat if some day your realy go over board and realy hurt your self in a bad way then what ? But if you need to talk to some one I’m here to talk :)

He was just looking out for you. This will give you greater incentive to stop. You should be glad that your friends were so good about it. Don’t regret it :)

i’ve been wanting to tell her for a long time but i was too scared. i’m glad she knows though. i’m glad he knows as well. i have a really hard time trusting guys ever since i was raped. but i trust him. a lot. i’m so glad that they are here for me. i was starting to feel alone again and for me that’s never really a good thing.

his response about taking me to the hospital just kinda scared me. cause i knew he was dead serious about it. that and hospitals freak me out..

and thank you kevin i’ll remember that lol

I can’t understand what you’ve been through, but I know that your friend’s boyfriend really means well by intending to keep his word about taking you to the hospital. Hurting yourself is a serious matter, if you can’t stop yourself, I think he is doing just the right thing by making sure to take you to people who can give you extra help.

I’m trying to not regret it. :) they told me i could call them any time i needed that. that makes me feel better. ha her boyfriend lives pretty close to my house and he said he’d even come over to talk me down from my urges if i needed him too even if it ws in the middle of the night. i thought that was pretty nice of him.

i guess i’m glad that he cares that much. and she does too. i probably would have said the same thing if i had been in his position.

Don’t regret having close friends that love u& care if you’ll hurting, happy or scared. It is a good thing to be able to be that open with anyone.
