Sorry for the length of this post, but this is the first time I have really let all of this out.
Recently I have been feeling extremely depressed. Theres so much going on at the moment i can't keep up and the stress is driving me to do stupid things. I broke up with my boyfriend a few weeks ago and now am having to move out of the flat I am sharing with him. I love him so much and would literally do anything to get him back, but he doesn't trust me about several things, and we can't have a relationship without trust. The problem is, I feel constantly shit right now, I go to sleep in his arms, feeling unbelievably happy, but when I wake up, I remember everything that has happened and I just shut down. Im not the same person I was weeks ago, I have this feeling of complete hatred towards myself and I have this constant feeling of sickness in my stomach. Whenever I chat to my ex, all I can think about is how much I hate myself for what has happened between us. I hurt myself badly, I cut my arms whenever I feel extremely stressed or upset. Last night I cut into my arm pretty badly, it bled quite a bit, but it felt good to have a release. I dont want to keep doing this though, I want to be able to stop myself but whenever I feel even the slightest bit horrible, I turn to hurting myself in some way. I hit myself pretty hard in the face and gave myself a black eye. I cant seem to stop myself doing these stupid things, especially if I have been drinking. Sorry for the long rant, I just need some advice on how to stop this before I do something really stupid.

Breaking up is always going to be hard, especially if you've been living together and are so used to close and intimate company. Hurting yourself isnt going to help in the long run and may may you less attractive both to your ex and to any future friends. An obvious first step would be to try to go easy on the drink. You should try to get some professional councelling if things are that bad, why not talk to your doctor in the first instance?

Hey Missangel

I'm sorry that you're feeling so down and that things have gone badly with your boyfriend, I hope you do get back together.

My advice is that you should definitely to go to see a doctor and tell him/her how awful you feel inside, because they will maybe prescribe you something to help with how you feel, and they should be able to get you more help.

Maybe you should also try and explain some of these things to your bf so that he can be helped to understand.

You can get over these feelings - things will get better

Love,
VioletAngel
