Until recently I have avoided cutting myself by telling myself its pointless and stupid and solves nothing, but a few weeks ago I cut myself because I felt like I needed to be punished for saying something horrible to my boyfriend. I justified it as having deserved it when my boyfriend found out and though he doesn't think it makes it okay I do.
I find myself thinking about cutting myself for this type of thing more. As though I could condition myself to relate my bad habits to pain and thus avoid doing them more. And though part of me knows this isn't the answer, I am still tempted. I'm not sure what I want from this post other than for someone to understand why. Is this the start of something destructive or can I justify and manage this?

Not at the moment, but I've been advised to seek counselling. I know I should, but I just cant seem to find the motivation.

Do you understand what is holding you back from seeking a therapist so that you can work on this stuff?

I don't really know... generally I'm pretty introspective so I would normally have a theory.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
