Is my friend copying me or what?

well I got this mate and I love her to bits but I think shes coping me or something!!what it is , is that I self harm and am going through deppression, when I first told her about myself harm she was there for me but kept saying things like that she cud never do that, and a week later she had started!! when I told her what I done it with she used to same thing, also when I told her that my eating habits have changed and im not seeping all of a sudden hers have changed as well!! also ealrier this year I took an overdose and now she says that she wants to , I no she wont but thats not the point!! and also I tried to stop harming a few weeks ago and all of a sudden so has she, its jut that I thought I could speak to her about it all but now as soon as I got something wrong she has a well , and it dosent bother if someone copies me but something like this is different its deppression not something like coping ones style ,and I was just wondering if anyone knows why she is doing this!! I want to no for her sake I dont want her to act depressed!! please any advice will be more than grateful!! X

Answer #1

this is happening to me too. I have a bit of an eating disorder and im getting help from my guidance teacher, I told my friend and suddenly she was off for a few days and made out she now has an eating disorder and said ‘Oh im well worse than you now, I havnt eaten’ It anoyying me. She copys me with everything and this was just the last straw so I feel out with her for ages and now were friends again but she has started it up again making out she has an eating problem GRRR. Also…another friend of mine found out I have started self harming so I admitted to her and she was nice about it to begin wth too and said (as your friend did) that she would never do that and that I should stop and stuff…a week later and she says ‘Omg I’ve started harming, im not copying you’ and showed me her arm. She had a tiny mark and its like Oh grow up GRRR…why do people have to copy you, especially with something serious like this. Live your own life not others :(

Maybe she feels like she’s not getting enough attention or she does feel secretly depressed. I think you should talk to her about it! Just explain why you self-harmed and then like ask her why she did it and stuff and just go from there. Hope this helped x
