My friend (basically my only friend where I live right now) got a severe cut the other day. It was a complete accident and she went to the ER. She's never SI'd or anything so this is obviously a frustrating inconvenience for her. But now, everytime I think of her I get upset. Why couldn't this happen to me. Someone who would actually enjoy and appreciate it. It's like she just got a gift that is the most important thing in the world to me, and she doesn't even care. I haven't cut in almost seven years and I just want it so bad. I don't know what to do. I feel like I can't talk to anyone about this. I have a T but my next appt isn't for another week. I'm worried when we see each other at a picnic Saturday she'll ask why I've been so distant or be mad for me not having talked to her recently. I'm just not sure I should tell her. She knows I crave blood, but I don't see any good coming from expressing these thoughts and feelings to her.

So you are avoiding her a bit because your feelings about cutting are really big right now when you see her?

Not really. It's more like this jealousy thing that makes me feel like she wronged me in some way, by getting what I really wanted.

Job metaphor: I've been working really hard to get a certain promotion/position and then my friend, who hasn't been trying at all and doesn't even want it, is the one who gets it.

I know she didn't do anything to me, but I just feel like crying when I think about her getting what I want.

Hope the flu-bug is gone! I guess in a way, it worked out about the whole bbq thing, just wish you didn't have to have gotten sick...!
