My friend says I'm in denial about my SI. How do I stop denying that I have a problem and start accepting the harsh realities?

By seeking treatment such as counseling and/or seeing a psychiatrist for evaluation. You might not have a mental illness but they're more likely to know how to treat you than your friends. However, be forewarned that finding a good one takes dedication.

By not lying when somebody (friends/family/therapist/psychiatrist) seriously asks how you are or asks if you've self-injured. I know it's easier to say 'I'm fine' or say you haven't self-injured. I still sometimes lie to this day and I'm in my twenties but things like addiction thrive on lies.
