Considering how popular beards are now you should be having a great time . <| sep |> He ' s lucky to have you . But , there isn ' t anything you can do to help . He has to do it himself and if he won ' t , he won ' t . You can ' t live his life for him and you shouldn ' t try . Take care of yourself . <| sep |> Looks amazing . Love that helm ! <| sep |> You ' re welcome ! I really hope you get on with a different , competent therapist . This shit makes me mad . I didn ' t get much in the way of therapy when I was a teenager and the stuff that I did get was not effective and trivializing of self harm mostly just being made to sign no cutting contracts with the therapist and no tools for dealing with selfharm urges . As a result I was cutting off an on all through my 20 s . I finally did DBT in my late 20 s and that ' s what helped me . I could ' ve avoided a lot of pain and skin disfigurement if I had gotten proper treatment early on . So when I see a post like yours my heart hurts . You CAN get better , there is hope , and it ' s not a trivial teenage girl thing but you need a competent therapist not fucking shaming ! Best of luck to you and please be gentle with yourself .
