...See more I am 30. After 4 years I have relapsed, SH started at age 12, I didn't know how re self regulate my emotions. I received therapy and they helped me understand and gave me tools on how to do it. Except when things got too stressful I used it to help with overflow. I am 13wks pregnant and my partner and I have been at heads, we have had progress today and a compromise and move forward plan, except yesterday I think, I was so high with overwhelming emotions and feelings, I relapsed, a small superficial section on my wrist. I am exhausted, he is aware of it and I've asked for no attention to be made on it, I asked for understanding why it happened (I couldn't regulate my chaotic emotions) and that it wasn't his fault, the emotions are mine. And not make it a big deal, less attention, less likely to happen again. I am worried I will have depression flare ups during pregnancy and post natal depression, I feel like I have failed this child already because of my mental health, I want the child to not experience what I experienced growing up, it's daunting and lonely
