OK so here's a brief summary of my recent life...please please PLEASE take the time to read this...
I started cutting back in November/2008, and when my boyfriend noticed and talked to me about it, and I still didn't stop, he made me sit down with him and tell my parents. I started going to a therapist and psychiatrist, and am taking anti-depressants. I started getting a bit better, and only cut myself once or twice in like a month. But I still hated myself, and so I stopped eating. I ate very little, and occasionally threw up what I ate. When I told my best friend and boyfriend, they helped me stop...gradually...I'm back to a normal weight now anyway. The last time I cut was horrible...my entire arm was covered in maybe a hundred cuts. That was back in...February or March...So yeah I've definitely improved. The problem though is that I still think about SI, and sometimes when I'm upset I'll imagine blood running down my arm...and lately I've been really tempted to stop eating again. And I still cry a lot and get upset easily. I feel so selfish though because my boyfriend cares about me so much, and constantly tells me I'm perfect and beautiful...but I still feel ugly and stupid...Even though I've improved so much, I still feel effed up... I guess I'm just looking for any kind of advice or extra encouragement...I don't want to keep dumping all my problems on my bf and friends. Thanks so much to anyone who replies.

hey, i feel like i can realte to some of what your saying. i cry alot too and get upset over the smallest things. my boyfriend is the main person i go to with these problems and i feel bad to put all the preassure on him. but it seems like your boyfriend really loves you and wants to help you. your lucky to have that. my boyfriend & i talked about what bothers him the most about things i say, and it was a great conversation. maybe if you guys talk about what you can work on to make it a little easier for him you wont feel as bad for going to him all the time. im sorry if this doesnt help

Ive cut for two years and this past year I stopped for a while though. You can stop at anytime but that doesnt mean you wont want to do it. Cutting is an addiction. Something you have to fight to rid yourself of. It's not easy and you shouldnt feel selfish for depending on them, if theyve been there for you this long I think you should lean on them. You need them now. Struggling alone isnt easy and it's nearly impossible to do this on your own. Plus, we're here for you. If you ever need to talk Im here. Im sure everyone else is also. I hope Ive helped. Take care dear.

I don't know about cutting. but I guess you should try distracting yourself if you cannot control the need to cut.

let your boyfriend know that you're so thankful to have him, and everything he's done has helped. let him know you're sorry that you dump things on him, but you're happy he's there for you. make sure he knows he's made a difference.
