I'm sorry things are so difficult for you Edward.

I also get how difficult birthdays can be, especially when you're expected to be happy. I'm aware you posted about joint birthday celebrations last week for both yourself and daughter - how old is she?

Is your daughter aware of your self harm? You said your wife isn't very supportive. We're you self harming prior to meeting her? How long have you been married? How does she feel about you harming yourself as much as you do? Do you ever think about how they feel before you harm?

I'm also reassured the therapist did not react when you discussed your sexuality. I'm sure she has heard it all before. Did you expect her to react with disgust? I get the impression you threw it in as a curve ball, that didn't have the desired affect.

Hi smurf,

Hope this finds you well. My daughter is 9 and yes one time she came in to the bathroom when I had made a complete mess of my self and the bathroom. I've been cutting for a long time and my wife is aware and is less than supportive. She is happy that I'm seeking help though. I didn't throw the Bi thing as a curve ball. I figured if the therapist is going to help me I need to be , with her, as forthcoming as possible. I'm glad that my therapist is a woman. All of my friends have always been women so I'm comfortable around her.

Best Wishes,

Edward

More questions!

If your daughter is only 9 and you've been cutting badly for so long and I'm guessing you've had to seek medical attention, how come the professionals in your life haven't involved social services? In the country I live - they would have.

I think it is good that you have been honest with your therapist I think this is really important you continue in this way.

It sounds to me as though your cutting is escalating and beginning to get out of control which concerns me on many levels. Mostly for your safety and that at the moment you have little in the way of professional support.

I'm just wondering in what way you would like your wife to support you and is there a reason you think she isn't supportI've of you? Sorry for the questions I'm just trying to understand and see if there is a way we can support and help you.

Hi Restored,

My wife is glad I'm getting help. I go to my psychiatrist on Wednesday. The melds aren't working I'm having more "blue" days than before. I'm eating klonnopin like crazy. My wife knows about the cutting but just doesn't understand why.

Please be very careful giving your self stitches Edward ......

I'm sorry that your wife isn't supportive, I think self harming behaviour can be really difficult to understand especially if it seems like you have all you need to the outside world have you tried to explain to her the reasons why you hurt yourself?

Hi Restored,

The reason is because I hate myself.

Why do you hate yourself Edward?
