I am having problems with my best friend

My best friend and I are fighting.I am having a lot of issues.I self harm and am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.I need space right now because I feel as if I am going to continue to self harm.I told my friend that I need to be alone to find myself again.This other girl that is in my year was talking with me and I spoke with her today for the whole school day.My friend said that I was lying in saying that I am not okay.I need help in making her realise that I am not okay and that I am not lying.I really need her as a friend so do you have any advice on how I can save our friendship

Parents speak to her?
Maybe show her the self harm charities you are speaking to?
Maybe she doesnt understand why you can speak to a stranger but not her?
Tell her you want to keep your friendship but if she has decided she doesnt believe you, then maybe its better for neither of you to discuss it and you cna get help/ support from elsewhere as its not worth falling out about. In return she can stop calling you a liar?

Please speak to someone.

i know this may seem hard but if she was a good friend, she would respect you, listen to you and trust you. Think abut your friendship, if i were you i would stay with the other girl, she seems nice x
