Im sorry you are feeling this way iskm12 - you are not a failure - you have a loving relationship with your bf and thats definately a success!

are you ashamed you cut or that your housemates are disapointed with you? as Sannah said - their views/beliefs are their own and not yours - It really sounds like you need your own place - can you get one? that would take at least some of the stress off of you.

If the shame is because you cut - then tell yourself that you fell down but you can get back up - we are human we make mistakes - we do things that arnt in our best interests at times - if you beat yourself up about it it will just make the urge stronger - I know I say this a lot - but thats beccause its true - try to treat yourself as if you were your friend - if your friend was feeling this way - had done what you had done - what would you say to them .... I bet you would be supportive - please be kind to yourself P7
