What can I do?!

TW:MENTIONS OF SELF HARM/ OVERDOSE Ok so I really just want help at this point and let everything out. Am I an terrible person for being cruel to my friend for cutting? Because I'm trying to get better myself and forget about cutting all together but he just blurts everything out about cutting to everyone and I kind of see it as attention seeking and I stood theire feeling like shit because while he moans about cutting I landed in the hospital once because of an attempted overdose. Because why whould u tell everyone about it as if wanting an REWARD? As if it's something to be proud of? And on top of it he refused to get help and self diagnosed his anxiety and depression. (I have nothing agenst self diagnose people but it does not mean that u actually have it) And he keeps on breaking my boundaries constantly. Whene I finally disided to speak out about it to him I'm suddenly the shitty pearson and now it feels like the rest of my friends hate me because of It. Suddenly ignoring me and excluding me... ALL BECAUSE I DISIDED I HAD ENOUGHT or finally putting myself before him because I really don't want to get influenced by enyone agian whether friends media or enything else because my mom threatened to send me to an kind of an rehabilitation school if I don't stop cutting myself. (Like I chould not care less if u harm ur self but why put it up my nose? I have nothing agenst people that self harm as it's not my dang business in the first place but don't tell/show it to me as it triggers me badly) And he also breaks my personal boundaries like don't touch me without eny indications as
I HATE psychal touch in the first place. Should I give him another chance and legit let my other friends stop being piss baby's about the whole thing and littrally empathizes with him (not even trying to stop him) while he constantly breaks my boundaries or should I straight up leave and make new friends? So to sum up am I an shitty pearson just because I don't want enyone who cuts telling me or showing me because it's triggering for me and to have personal boundaries or not?

So this is kind of all over the place & I had a hard time understanding, so please forgive me, I'm not in the greatest frame of mind, as I had a self-harm moment this morning & I am I still dealing with all of that.

From my understanding, you struggle with self-harm, as does your friend correct? If this is the case, then I am sorry you both are struggling with this, because I totally understand that it is not easy to deal with at all.

Each person, who self-harms has their own way of dealing with it, some write about it (me) some talk about it (your friend, I'm guessing) and some people pretend it doesn't happen.

I am not sure what category you are in, however, I would speak to your friend, openly, and explain to them, that hearing about it, or it being thrown in your face can be triggering to you, and ask them not to do it again, and then of course, if it happens again, I'd explain that maybe until you are both in a better place mentally, you are better off not being friends.

Again, I am sorry if I misunderstood what you were trying to say.

Hugs.

I hope things get better for both of you. If you need a friend, I am here.
Time to find new friends. These aren't true friends.
