I am in a relationship where i used to cry for hours and nobody bothers. I used to self harm myself when this relationship depression goes for more than 2 days. Heated arguments with my bf makes me to do so and the fear of being lonely if he leaves me in that situation alone. I had cut my wrist badly. Now i am worried about how i will be telling my parents about the same. and when these cuts are going to be healed. How about the scars. Will they go?

Goodness this isn't a relationship it's torture. I know what you're feeling and being single can be a terrifying prospect that forces you to put up with way more than you should. But being with someone is not worth what you're being put through. You deserve to find someone who cares when you're upset, and wants to help you feel better every time, we all do. Right now I feel like I care more about helping you feel better than your partner, and they're the one who's supposed to love you =/ You deserve better. -hugs-

I am so sorry you are struggling in your relationship and that it lead to you cutting. It does not sound like a healthy relationship and you need to leave the situation. You deserve someone who loves you and treats you with respect.

My daughter cut so I understand how it feels like cutting is a way to feel control, but harming yourself is not the answer. You need to seek professional help to provide you ways to cope when things feel out of control. Can you share with your parents what has been going on in your life? Do you have a good relationship with them? They probably are concerned and just want to show love and see you feel well.

Know you are not alone. There are people here who care. Please look into seeing a counselor and reach out to support groups like this forum. I will be praying for you and please continue to share. Hugs!
