I don't know if I can stop - when I get really upset and depressed, and feeling like an utter failure, I sometimes turn to hitting myself, and lately it's been really bad. I know it hurts my boyfriend to see me do it, and he just gets so frustrated because he wants to be able to help but he doesn't know how.
Well, last night I woke up to find him looking at me... we got to talking, he was so angry that I'd hit myself earlier, and he told me that he feels like he might need to break up if I keep doing it. I don't know what to do, I don't know that I *can* stop... I'm really scared of losing him... in almost 4 years together, we've never had to contemplate breaking up! |

Hugs i know what you mean, are you getting help for the things that set off these episodes?
Ask him to be patient with you and say yuo will try your hardest and if not already you will seek help. xxx |

are you in therapy to deal with your self injury? Seeking some sort of psychological help would show that you're serious about wanting to stop. I know it's hard though and not fair for your boyfriend to manipulate the situation by threatening to leave.

Its a slow process, but you are doing the right thing by seeking help, so just take each day as it comes xx

Is therapy helping?

I do not know maybe you need another therapist. You can ask about help your boyfriend to look for a good therapist.

 Do you think it is helping you? If it isn't, dont be afraid to seek more or different help.

Yeah, I think it's been helping somewhat. I only have one more session (the program is free, but time-limited) though, so I'll have to find a new one soon. Also next month I'll start seeing a pdoc.

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