What if you just don't feel supported? Sure these forums help me, but they won't replace real ppl in my life...

Just...I have friends...but none of them can deal with my cutting. If I tell them, they either freak out and change the subject, tell me I should stop, or just say "I understand" but don't help me any further. Like really....how do you get a support system?? I can't rely on friends...obviously...and my family...well, they mean well, but I know they couldn't handle if I told them I was still cutting....so I lie and say I'm over it.

Ugg....what do I do. I've tried reaching out to a few friends but they just don't seem to get it or understand the kind of support I need. I'm almost done trying...and just accepting the fact I'll always be like this.

idk...advise? And yes...I know I need to see a therapist....I'm building the courage...it's just taking a little longer then I wish it would.
