How do I get him to care again?

I’m good friends with this guy right… Becuase I have been depressed earlier I used to cut myself…he said that if I ever do it again he will never talk to me again. But recently my friend told me something that made me really really upset and I forgot the promise I made to him. And I cut my arm…he saw it. And said goodbye im not your friend anymore. I argued to him and he said he will be my friend still but he wont give a crap about what I do or say because he sick of caring about me when I hurt him “all the time.” aren’t friends suposed to care? If not is I even a friendship at all? I need help. How do I get him to care again? :( please help.

You need to explian to him, why it is you cut and maybe then he would be able to help you and he would understand better. I use to cut and my boyfriend told me that if I did it agian then he was going to break up with me. Like you, I promised I wouldn’t do it agian, then did anyway. We fought for hours then I finally told him why I did it and he understood. After we both calmed down we made a deal. I told him that anytime I ever felt like cutting agian I would call and talk through my problems with him instead and if I did slip he would try to understand. Maybe you can talk to your friend and you can call him to talk through your problem when you feel like cutting. It really help me and our relationship, plus I havent cut in almost two years now…

It’s simple… you stop hurting him…

you are right , friends are supposed to care, but it isn’t him who isn’t caring, it’s you. Each cut you make is making him more sick with owrries that you one day will decide to commit suicide by cutting all the way through. Is that fair on him? Having a depression is not an excuse to cut yourself, cause it won’t help. It only makes things worse, look at the situation already, you’re loosing a friend because instead of seeking professinal help you’re damaging your skin.

I am sorry to go on so harsh about it, but I want you to understand what you’re doing to your friend and yourself… you are an important person, and he gets sad when you show destructive manners instead of a constructive manners. He don’t wanna lose you.

What if he started to show the signs you got… would you want him to feel like you feel? So depressed that he’d feel he needed to cut himself? Or would you want him to get some help so he can be a little brighter? If you’d say you’d want him to feel what you feel, then I got no more to say. If you want him to be brighter and stop cutting himself, then what’s keeping you from putting down the blade?

I might not know why you are depressed or understand why you feel you have to cut yourself and I will probably never understand… but I understand my own scars on my arm that reflects my old depressions… now there are only that amount of scars, but I still get help from professionals from time to time to maintain that there will be no more scars.
