Maxime,
I understand what you are saying about writing/not writing certain things here and that is considerate of you.
In reading many of your posts here, I am a bit surprised. you are very intelligent and seem to have many strengths and positive qualities to overcome at least some of these feelings. I'm not saying 'toughen up' 'pull yourself out of it', please don't misunderstand my intentions.
I don't know much about cutting, but did you ever try intellectualization to cope with extreme emotions? It's not considered a 'healthy' defense mechanism-but it is in the higher range, a step up, and can be a useful coping mechanism in times of extreme emotional distress. Just a suggestion for you to try-you might find that reading about borderline in object relations will give you some insights into why you feel this way, and could bring you some relief. It might be worth a try.
I hope all the suggestions by the memebers here are of some benefit, and that you are not feeling overwhelmed by it all. I do believe things will pick up for you soon and given that so many here believe in you, that you can believe in yourself.
