I don't know why, but lately I've been really scared to let people know I was a cutter. I can't figure out what is triggering this. Normally, I'm pretty open about it because if people know then they can ask me questions and I can either offer support to those who understand it, or make those who don't not so ignorant. Since a lot of therapy and going to a recovery group I've become a lot more open and have helped/influenced a lot of people. Recently though, I've been increasingly scared to let people know. I'm even more scared to let people know that I had a relapse (not with cutting, but with self-injury) and have been really struggling lately. Only two people know about the incident. It's been over a month since it happened and now I'm back in college and it is like I'm scared for people to find out. I'm planning on leading a recovery group again this year but it's almost like I'm avoiding making fliers. I feel like I'm going to be found out. I just can't figure out why I've had this sudden change of fear lately. I guess maybe it is due to the incident. I just don't know though.
