i am hurting myself. snapping myself with a rubber band so much my left arm has welts on about a third of my fore-arm or pretty much my whole wrist. i just got out of a relationship with a girl i loved very much. but about a week or 2 ago she decided she didn't like me anymore. and last night it finally ended. i really really liked her and i dont understand what the **** went wrong. everything was so perfect up until she changed her mind. never before has a girl made me so upset. i am not one to cry often, but then this happened. ****ing sucks. and whenever i think about the situation, the only was i find to feel better is pulling that band back and letting it go. it's like when you get a paper cut and then ****** about it, and then your dad or friend pinches you and asks what hurts now? so yea, i don't have the slightest idea of what to do about this.

Hi Sorry that you've broken up - relationships ending hurt. A lot.

Now, your title question:

Nothing, I repeat nothing, is wrong with you. You're trying to cope with a loss, and the end of a relationship, and when you add any sort of intimate connection or romance -- it gets messy. And hurts a lot more.

Have you self injured prior to this? With the rubber band I mean, or in other ways? If you've got the prior history of using it to deal with stress it makes a lot of sense that you're doing it again to deal with this.

Do you have anyone to talk to about this? Friends? Family? Therapist/doctor?

Thank you.. So much. Up until a week ago I have never really hurt myself. There have been days in the past where I have thought about cutting and even attempted but, it scares me.and as for family, I can't really do that. They always blow things out of proportion. Like, make a big deal. And my friends I have told don't really care. I mean, I have a few friends that might be able to help but... They are good friends of my most recent ex. I really don't think it would be a good idea to tell them about this. I just, I have never been broken up with, it was always me doing the breaking up in past relationships. Now I know how they must have felt. It really sucks.

You don't have to tell them about the SI if you don't want to... but talking to someone about the breakup and how that impacts you might make you feel better.

Hi Shane, welcome to PC. Sorry about the breakup. With things like this you just have to feel bad for a little bit. You allow the feelings to come and then they pass.
