I'm sorry you were in a similar situation. It makes you feel so alone through your struggles.
I told my therapist that it makes me feel more defective as well. She said that sometimes our partners just can't understand the pain we're going through, even if they're trying they're best.
She'd be willing to have my boyfriend join us in session sometime and try to help him support me a little better. The problem is that he expresses his dislike of my self harm with intense anger a lot of the time and that REALLY scares me.
I went through a lot of that with my mom since early childhood and I don't handle it well (I mean who would?) It makes me want to hurt myself even more.
Thank you for the encouragement. I sure hope life gets better..
