you probably just need another person to talk with. A therapist, and psychologists are both fine, I had a friend who went to a therapist... but I know some people get uncomfortable with a 1-on-1 sessions, so in many cities there will usually be a SI support group.
And really that all it sounds like you need. The whole temptation of SI decreases and fades but it takes anywhere from a year to a decade. Most of the SI people I know don't really ever get completely over it. They just get to the point where the feeling isn't overwhelming or they can control the feeling without anxiety or stress. So I'd just get someone who can listen and support you. Nobodies perfect and the SI recovery road is bumpy one. Do your best, and see a group or therapist. |

Your self-esteem issues, which may be related to you relationship problems, have probably resulted in a major depressive episode. You probably need a combination of therapy with a new psychologist, and anti-depressant medication prescribed by a psychiatrist. If you don't know where to find a psychiatrist, see a general practitioner and get a referral. Remember, the people in your life may come and go, but if you can ever learn to love yourself, you can overcome most things life throws at you. The trick is getting professional help while there is still time.

Stay away from support groups. Generally the participants end up "teaching" each other ways of harming themselves.
Desires to harm yourself comes from underlying issues, like the ones you listed above. If you address those issues, the self harm feelings will most likely subside on their own (with or without medication depends on the person). Most therapist (including me) don't treat the self harm (other than developing a safety plan and No Harm contracts) but instead treat the underling issues. |

Know that no man can live alone and take considerations to the people who want to help you. Why are they helping you? Because they love you and they want you to be a better you so you can perform as a healthy community member and a healthy individual too.
