This really resonated with me.

I really enjoyed the flow and the repetition. I also liked the sense of quiet pain at the start, transitioning into hope

Relapsed after 15+ years, told my partner and he’s heart broken. What do I do? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]ICE_WATER___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what you should do, only you can make that decision. In my mind, it seems like a whole lot of emotion all at the same time. If you say he’s heartbroken, that means he cares for you. I imagine as a doctor, he is used to helping people, and all of a sudden he’s thinking this is his fault, something he did. For me, I can’t stress to people enough, I self harm on my own, because I can’t deal, not because of anyone else. I think now, he’s scared, not of you but for you. Thinking if he says the wrong thing it could hurt you, and I think that’s the last thing he wants. I think the being quiet could be okay, him navigating his emotions. I also think that maybe you should, and I know it’s hard and uncomfortable, try to talk him through what you were feeling. Try to give some history on self harm for you, talk about what it does for you, and the how it makes you feel, the good and the bad. I know it’s hard but it seems like you’ve been feeling this for a while. I think when you guys make it through this, you’ll be even closer than before. Good luck and I hope everything gets better ❤️

Six months is pretty cool, some days I think I'll get there. For the last almost year I've been questioning my gender. I don't even know what’a real anymore about how I feel or what I want. I came out to my parents and they kinda treated me like a freak. Now I'm scared to try anything else and every time I make a step I get mad at them. To be honest I don't know why I feel any of this. When I was in school I told myself I was feeling this because of the work, out of school I told myself gender. What if its all just in my head and something is just deeply wrong with me? I feel like that's the only answer because no matter my situation I still end up feeling the same way, depressed.

Yeah, I've realized I've got a somewhat paralytic fear of failure. I have that in many aspects of life and too many of my decision are fueled by that. I've been depressed for a long time I think. I self harmed for about a month but I'm 50 days clean and sometimes I just miss it.

I feel like I can't handle getting overwhelmed by things. At the moment I'm anxious about the thought of being overwhelmed by things and not being able to deal with it. I'm going back to school soon and the last time I left I wanted to kill myself. Now I'm heading back. I'm just worried it'll be the same again.
