I've been hurting myself for nearly six years. I've never told anyone because it embarrasses me. I don't go out of my way to hide it, but I hope every day that no one asks me about it. They haven't thankfully.
It started when I was 17. I was at boarding school, and I suffered from appendicitis one semester. It hurt, so I tried to take my mind off of it by creating a pain that was less and one that I could control. From that moment, I haven't been able to stop. Now, I have these moments in the day where I become very depressed or anxious and to bring myself back to reality, I hurt myself. Then I can move on until the next episode. I think I need to talk to someone about it, but I don't want my boyfriend, family or friends to find out. Also, my boyfriend keeps asking me if I'd tell him when something is bothering me. I don't know what to make of it. I just needed to get that out. |

I think that you should tell the one person who you trust the most in you life. They'll help, or try to. And if they don't, then come here for some support and advice.

If your boyfriend is supportive of you, maybe talk to him?
Find a therapist/counsellor if you can, they'll likely be able to help.
