text: i feel i am just depressing people, am i selfish? heres the thing, i feel reeli down alot and i ahve confided in friends that i cut myself...but i dnt want to put everyone down, they say it's ok and that they are ok, but i guess am just worried that my stuipidity is efecting my closest friends.  can anyone give me a bit of advice? your friends will look after their own way of handling it. it is good to be able to be honest with them. however if you're cutting yourself maybe it's time to talk to a professional who can help you. it may be too much for your friends to deal with alone. they can still support you while someone else qualified really helps you. it's worth it. good luck.
