so I'm sitting here before I have to go to work thinking about every thing that's been going on lately. not that I'm not constantly thinking about these things.

last night I was talking to my boyfriend about how I'm struggling to not cut and he said that I should just shut up about it because it's driving him crazy. I know it's a lot to handle for him, but I thought that he at least understood that when I talk about it it's because I'm trying to keep myself from doing it. I was really close to doing it last night, but I know he'll find out and get really mad at me.

I don't ask him to try and fix all my problems, but he insists that I tell him everything and gets offended and mad at me if I try to talk about them with someone else.

He's making me go to the doctor next week for my "eating disorder" because apparently I don't eat enough. I really don't see where I have a problem anymore. 

I'm just not happy anymore. I don't want to be with him, but I don't want to be without him.

I'm terrified of when he makes me go to the doctors. I'm afraid they're going to put me away in Four Winds and then they'll ruin me like they ruined my mom when she went there.

Hi there

 

I know that you don't want to see a doctor but I really think this is a good step for you.  I think that cutting and the eating disorder are your ways to gain control but I can tell you... from some experience...they don't work and can ultimate wreck your life.  You need to find new coping skills and a doctor can help you with this.

 

It sounds like your boyfriend cares about you.  If you were to reverse things and he was the one cutting...or not eating...what would your reaction be?  It is very hard for anyone to know what to say or do.  It sounds like his heart is in the right place and he is trying to help you so...let him.

 

Let people help you.

 

I hope things get better for you.  Keep talking to us.
