well im new to this site....and i've seen some pretty good advice given to those in need, so i figured i should take a shot at it and see if some of you could possibly give me some of that good advice too....so here i go;

i am in a new relationship (of three months). all of my prior relationships have been very abusive 6 years in total of every type of abuse you can imagine. since a young child i have been in and out of conselling and i have had many long and short term visits to the pysch ward at the hospital. i am a cutter. i suffer from BP and i am having difficulty making my new partner understand my disease. i have provided him with information and research. but he doesnt seem to understand, where some of my past partners have been in some of my episodes and have had to actually stop me from harmig myself. my problem is my partner doesnt understand how serious my condition is and walks away with shrugged shoulders when i need strong shoulders to help hold me up at difficult times. any advice? i dont want the relationship to end, but im at my end in trying to make him understand how i feel.... <font color="pink"> </font>
