I really don't know how to deal with all this, I've recently started cutting my boyfriend says he will leave me if I carry on.. I need help, even just someone to talk to :( I'm new to all this and scared :( I don't want to do it but I can't stop myself from doing it!

Hi there.

Sorry to hear you're struggling so much right now. You are always welcome to talk about what's causing you to harm here, or contact the RYL Supporters on support@recoveryourlife.com.

Do you know what is making you feel so low right now..?

It sounds perhaps like your boyfriend doesn't understand Self-harm. There are links on the main site for friends/family members of self-harmers which might help him help you.

Do you have any family members you can talk to, or even your doctor to get some support..?

Your boyfriend may be doing one of three (or other) things:
-Trying to get you to stop in a way he knows
-Being selfish and not wanting to care about your problems
-Trying to break up with you and make it your fault (least likely but it can happen)

Be open with him. Tell him how you feel. He may say nasty things, but in that case you shouldn't have guilt about leaving him.

I'd tell you to stop now but I know that doesn't truly help. I hope you get through this.

I agree with everything said above here, also had an experience where my girlfriend left me thanks to self harm and depression. I am here if you need to talk.
