Tonight my bf caught me SI. It's not something I do often, and only during the absolute depths of despair. Tonight has been one of the worst nights ever.

When he caught me I yelled at him to leave me alone and shut the door. I didn't speak to him after that for the rest of the night. But I'm awake again (for the past two years I've been up every hour or so all night long) and feeling miserable about how I reacted.

I don't think there's any way to make this better. I always hide it when I SI so no one knows, not even my bf, and we live together.

God, I need sleep so bad. Just a three-hour stretch would help. Am I going crazy???

What does your b/f do to support you in these sort of situations? Are there ways in which you can come to depend on him better in times like this?

What's being done for your sleeping troubles?

As far as I know you and BF are on rocky terms. Don't feel bad about your reaction as he walked in on a very personal thing. If you feel sorry for your reaction tell him. I hope sleep improves for you.

Oh, thank you! Yes, rocky is a good word for it. I feel less sorry now that a little time has passed. :-)

I've been in therapy for three years this time (on and off my whole life). Unfortunately, this is a new T and I don't feel comfortable yet telling her about my infrequent SI.

My bf has always ignored the fact that I SI. I wish I could enlist his help, but it's doubtful.

I have a sleep study next month, and hopefully it will help get to the bottom of things. I'm desperate!!
