When I self-harm, my husband gets very angry. He hates the scars on my body, especially the ones that are in "his territory". I don't know how to explain it to him...endless circle. I SI, he gets mad, I want to SI again. Why does self-harm work so good? Nothing else provides the same relief/comfort. It makes me feel crazy, it shouldn't feel good to self-destruct...

My husband doesn't like it, but he is very understanding about it. He likes to talk about why I did it, what I was thinking when I did it, those kinds of things. He tells me that tomorrow is another day and that it will be ok. I'm sorry that your husband isn't so understanding.

Those endorphins that are released with the pain help you to feel better. When you get to the point where you are dealing with your emotions better, you won't need the pain to improve your mood.

My husband definitely doesn't like it, but he's very understanding. He always asks me if it helped, if I feel better (not in a snarky way), then he bandages me up and cleans the mess. He does it without really reacting to it, no big scene or anything. I'm sorry your husband gets so mad.
