I feel like every time I'm in a relationship and something goes wrong I want to cut myself again. When I was single I didn't consider it once, but my world feels like its falling apart every time I even have the smallest tiff with my boyfriend.

Burnout
It’s so much. I’m tired. The first thing I thought of when I laid down to sleep was suicide. I used to make up different scenarios of how I’d do it in mi...
Hi I might have an answer, although it could just apply to me. When I'm in a relationship I'm more inclined to do self destructive things because, well, someone cares. When I'm alone it's like nobody gives a f, so it reminds me how pointless it is. I still SI but less frequently.
I'm NOT saying it's for attention. I hate that it bothers my gf. But subconsciously it asserts the idea that I'm destroying something of value (me) when someone else cares. Whereas when nobody cares it's like I'm destroying a piece of dirt so it's just stupid. I didn't explain that right but maybe you get it.
ReplyDon't be too hard on yourself making mistakes in a relationship is part of the growing and learning experience embrace it try and laugh about it. I dont know obviosly what has happened in your life before posting this but I would reccomend if your comfy enough to seek some help for the cutting I think you also know that this is not a healthy thing to do. Give both you and your partner some time to learn things about each other theres no rush to these things communication is key try having a conversation about this issue and see what you and your partner can come up with. Hope this helps love ya both
