Q: Ex Cutter!!! But I Developed Someting New

I used to cutt my self, but I stopped. Mostly because my bf said he would leave me if I didnt. I havent cutt in 2 years. The only problem is when I get mad ill punch walls but only because it cuases pain, Ill scream and not be able to stop, i dig my nails into my skin just untill it hurts then I stop.
I think is my body's new way of coping, I know I need help, and I've asked to see a therapist. I feel guilty when ever I do it but I cant stop.

Well i gotta say its good you asked to get help, my husband was the same way with my cutting , he threatned to leave if i cut again, there have been a few times he was away and i got really upset and didnt know what else to do so he was sorta understanding. seeking help is the best thing you can do, they can help you open up about your feelings and show you different ways to express them rather then causing pain to your body etc.

well I have asked my mom whos a therpapist if I could see one...but she hasnt done anyting. My doctors toled my mom I should see a therpaist since I have what they call a long term "illness" I degenerative arthritis in my jaw very painful, but im getting surgery soon to correct it. Its not really an illness though so i dont why they would say that.
But do you maybe know a way I could talk to my bf about it so he understands how Im feeling, I dont want to scare hi though. yu know?

Mostly you need to explain to him the reasonings behind why your doing it like how you feel when you are doing it. So if anything he can help you try to avoid situations where you might want to do some harm to yourself. how old are you? I dunno if its possible to try and call and get a therapist yourself or something. Because i feel that that is very important so you can find other ways to cope with your emotions rather then harming yourself.

that sucks, hopefully your mom will listen to your dr and get you set up with a therapist. i dunno if theres a way you can call your dr to have them talk to your mom and set it all up for you.

If your mom wont do anything about getting you in to see a therapist then you should do it yourself. I went through the same deal when i asked to see a therapist for my depression, i ended up going to see one after i got to college, as it was the only way i was able to get help.
If your parents wont help you get help, do it yourself, especially if you are serious about getting help.
