Hi guys I was just wondering if this is the normal reaction or not. I have been harming myself for lots of reasons for quite a while now. A few weeks ago I plucked up the courage to tell someone who I had been confiding in about the whole stuff in general and told him that I harm myself. He totally reacted in a way I wasn't expecting him to and demanded to see my arms to see if I was telling the truth??????????? Of course I did show him because I didn't want him to think I was a liar but I really wasn't expecting him to react like this to me and I was really shocked. I got so upset by his reaction that I feel I have started to lose my trust in him now and don't turn to him like I used to but then that leaves me with not many places to turn... am I over reacting? How should I deal with it when I see him next?

I'm so glad to find a place like this just through browsing the net...
