I can understand your feelings in regards to this, I have a love of cutting myself to feel pain, it makes me feel better and in control. I realize that this is not healthy but it can be addicting and has never really had anything to do with wanting to die/kill myself its just a coping mechanism...

I keep having horrible nightmares, its almost every night now, about past abusers and not being able to get away. i wake up and the whole day is ruined BUT i know that i have a choice to leave the dream behind and choose to focus on the good in my life. doesn't mean it comes easy. Breathing...

Sensory distraction, very good choice, our senses can break thought patterns and bring us back to reality. Find something to touch, smell, hear or taste to bring you back and ground you <3

I unfortunately can really relate to the eating part of this, stopping eating is one of the things i use to cope when i feel hopeless/worthless, it is the only thing i can control at the moment so i use it against myself and feel strong when i dont eat for a day or more...self punishment i...

Literally surround yourself in nature (go for a walk) or put on a funny movie, or surround yourself with your favorite music or friends, just try to change the mood immediately and the feeling of hoplessness will pass, I highly reccomend volunteering because making others feel better always has...

you sound just like me...just absolutely feel detached from my body, i cant stand it i feel like im crawling in my own skin on the daily. Its something that has to be realised as soon as you start self hating and then divert that energy to something positive, its a bad habit and can be broken...

We are already moved in together for about 10 months, we have known eachother for 7 years. But i completely understand the need for individuality, and we are getting there :) 90% of the time we are absolutely so in sync that it would feel strange to be apart, if i even go to the library he comes...

I think that you are doing better with social anxiety than i am for sure (so bravo to you for keeping battling your demons), i cant make eye contact with people, i have a small 10 x 10 cabin with a wood stove and if i didnt have to get out and do stuff (i live off grid) i would never leave the...

Im very sorry to say that it sounds like a bit of a toxic relationship and if neither are able to realise their faults and want to better themselves then...it will only continue, counselling or trying to talk together and set goals for the relationship and as individuals could be beneficial...

he can be a bit of a jerk verbally but he doesnt mean for it and always tries to do better. we both have our own issues but hes willing to work on his as well so im very willing to both work on our issues together. if it was a continued behaviour and neither of us were willing to get better...

ABSOLUTE FACT. we are so conjoined in mind and spirit that we are almost like one person now and we just continually take on eachothers problems to the point of making ourselves ill. it can be that way when you are that devoted you forget to take care of yourself. we are trying to get evened out...

Thank you so much for your replies!! We absolutely have alot of work, we are both 1000000% committed, both of us have had bad prior relationships, and everything misworded and cruel is said at times where we are fighting, We are both very aware that we both have issues but I made sure to say...

I have the same problem, lots of nightmares that I allow to affect my entire day and my boyfriends day, its just not worth it, I would highly recommend music to put on, comedy movie or tv, sounds can be really great at distracting a person which might allow time for your mood to dissipate into a...

Thank you!!! I think the hardest part for me is WANTING to get myself better, I dont like myself and am very self harming verbally and phycially, so its a fight with myself really. But its time...theres no point feeling this way for any longer. Thank you again guys, Im going this week to find a...

Hi I am wondering if anyone has any advice on the following things; It takes a bit to put ego out of the way and realise these things about myself but it needs to be done and im not the only one in the relationship. I can aggrivate my boyfriend ALOT by assuming i know how hes feeling and...

Thank you! I usually end up crying when I try to talk to people and crying makes me feel absolutely weak and worthless so ive avoided it but im ruining my own relationships and isolating myself so its time to force myself to get help.

Im having the same issues right now, Im constantly asking if my boyfriend is ok, what I did wrong...why hes mad...and it ends up driving him crazy, im so scared of upsetting him or having him tell me he doesn't love me that I ask about 100 times a day if hes ok... I cant be touched sometimes and...
