Hi, I have a really stupid question to ask, that I know I should know the answer to - I just can't work it out. I have mental health issues (I self harm) that nobody knows about, but the other day a friend noticed I was down about something and said something along the lines of "You can trust me if you ever want to tell me anything." I'm not sure how I feel about this, I think I would like to tell her, but can't really articulate why, and don't feel like I could stop self-harming any time soon (and don't want to try) so am not really sure what the point would be to tell her. Isn't it just selfish to make her part of my problem when I don't feel ready to do anything about it? And is there a point to confiding in someone about something I know they can't do anything about?
Thanks for reading, I know this all sounds really silly but my brain just seems to have stopped working.
