Hi,

I have a quite steady long term relationship with my boyfriend, it has been about 3 years now. When we started going out I had just started uni, found it tough and went through some bad times. Then things got a bit better, I stopped cutting and life seemed okay. But this year has been tough, the depression has come back strong and I am finding myself thinking about cutting all of the time. I cant get it out of my head.
My boyfriend knows about my past, and knows im struggling right now, but he gets really upset if I cut.
I want to slip back into my old ways so badly, and I have slipped up twice now in 2 days. And I dont want to stop. He will eventually see them and he wont like it, but right now its what I need.

This is quite along winded way of saying, for people in a relationship who self harm, how to you and your partner deal with it?

Thanks
