Need some advice... and fast!! *TW*

*MOD edited - added TW as there is talk of SI and ED*

Hi, um this is my first time doing this, so if its the wrong place please excuse me...

Ok, so I cut myself sometimes when I experience lots of hurt and pressure, anyways, my girlfriend used to do the same, we promised each other that we wouldn't do it anymore, she nearly had a few relapses, but I motivated her, and well she hasn't touched a blade in like 4 months, and she told me that she isn't going to ever again, I unfortunately broke my promise, it hurts me that I did, and I just want to cut more... anyways, I had to tell her... and well she now seems to be extremely pissed off and well its like she doesn't understand at all as to why I did it... I am a senior prefect in a boys hostel, I run the hostel and also hold responsibility for 40 15 year old boys, i never get to relax, I have to constantly deal with problems, and it feels like I am under fire from all possible sides all the time, my parents expect a lot from me, as I am academically inclined, higher management of the hostel expects the same, I am always out to hep and support everyone I possibly can, that's why I keep my cutting as secret as possible, because if i am a pillar of strength to people who need it, I don't want to be a weak pillar, if that makes sense... nobody knows about my cutting though, except for my gf and her sister, who saw it accidentally... the point is, there is just so much to handle, and my gf was diagnosed with Bulimia 3 days ago, it was a shock to both her and me... I just have all this pressure, what do I do? I am lost as to what I should do... please help....

Since you posted this in the relationship forum I am unsure whether your question is about your girlfriend or self-injury, as you could have posted in the self-injury forum. I lack the knowledge on relationships so the only problem I see is that you told her you did it and at a terrible time having her recently be diagnosed with something.

About your cutting, are you sure it is only stress and pressure that cause this? Commonly it is something more deep and could be Borderline Personality Disorder or Bi-polar. I would look into this.
