No i am not a man.
I have started self-harming again Hmm.
I did it for a 2yr period when i was a teenager, and recently started again, and i said it was just a few times and that was a lie. I am cutting everyday and quite a lot too, my arms and stomach are covered. My husband knows and he is very supportive but i feel so ugly.
This is just so frustrating for me. I have a meeting with a psychiatrist next week, and he is probably going to refer me to the local mental health team.
I know why i do it (sexual assault as a teenager, baby blues, just moved, history of depression), but i just wish i didn't I have some good days and some not so good days, in fact often i feel very cheery, but this helps me function. Bad habit i suppose.
I want this to stop before my daughter realises her mummy has arms covered in cuts. I worry people will think i can't take care of her because i can she is really happy and i love her so so much. The treatment i had last time was very effective i think i just need to get some professional treatment.
Sorry for this being so long!
