Thank you for intresting reply

: Some women dissociate and lose a sense of self. The cutting introduces a sense of reality and symptom relief by re-establishing
: contact with the body. Combined with a mercurial temperament, self cutting can be an indication of Borderline Personality Disorder;
: MPD, and/or sexual violation.
I would guess the first and the latest of those two.

Dissociating takes them out of body. Cutting brings them back. These exciting, dramatic
: individuals may cling and distance. Trust and betrayal are issues.

I think paranoia are an issue. I guess she are an INFP, and that she got somethign called post traumatic stress.

Narcissist/Borderline couples have a hand and glove fit.

I think she are borderline, but still I don't think there is a good match at all between her and me.

A thing that repeat itself is that she misperceive something (get's paraoid), and attack me ( or to say in other words she get's paraoid/loading her gun, then she fire after getting paranoid enough)
, then later she will get
out of this paranoia say she are sorry, fearing I will leave her, and so on....Very stressing....

I think mutch of this paranoia are due to poor quality thinking.

: The book might interest you. I forget the author's name at this moment. It is a female psychotherapist. She also works with
: women who are in abusive realtionships (another form of self injury-happiness through pain.) Recovery is difficult for the women
: because of the underlying Object-Self dynamics. Lucid moments are brief windows of opportunity for insight. Doesn't sound
: like fun.
