I have Asperger's with no borderline. I didn't cut for many years, but, alas these times have made me start again within the last fortnight. I thought I was done with the behaviour, as I am 36. I am even afraid to tell my Therapist. So many pressures have come, and, as you may know, we with Autism have much trouble expressing ourselves in correct manner, and at the correct time. I get in much trouble for these so-called 'indescretions' on my part. Why can't my husband really come to terms with what this type of Autism means? When I feel so much pain, and sometimes, unfortunately, anger, I rather turn it inward, than to scream, yell, and curse, and lose outward control. 'Tis better to remain poised, and not say hurtful things to the one I love most. Yes, I really am this pedantic :( I remember cutting when I was much younger- over a decade ago.

Best to get a lawyer to really cut through the issue. That's what I'm gonna have to do. We all cut… maybe at our friends, maybe family, maybe our livers.. feels good but does no good.

What I do when I'm overwhelmed is eat food that I know will make me feel sick. I get painful cramps (sometimes I can't stand up straight) and I bloat up when I eat too much starch. And dairy will also triggers symptoms. I know I'm damaging my gut, but at least it keeps me alive by distracting me for a while. I’ve never cut, though I do pick at my skin.

I was unable to express myself in words and didn't know how I felt, so when I felt especially bad I resorted to self-injury. You should probably go see a therapists/psychiatrist or something. Sounds like you need professional help beyond your friends. It also sounds like your girlfriend may have had moderate/severe borderline personality disorder (http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/borderline-personality-disorder-fact-sheet/index.shtml).
