Hey girl,
I hope today finds you in a good place.
I think this is a good time to be gentle on yourself; I know you want badly to be well and so I would recommend not blaming yourself for not being perfect _immediately_. It's going to take a while before you feel quite yourself again.

You needn't feel so horrible and guilty. Cutting is a method of handling stress for you. There are better ways of doing it, but right now that's the method that you have been using. You are learning healthier ways, but it may take a bit before you are able to stop completely.
Obviously you care dearly about your boyfriend, or this wouldn't worry you so much about having done it. You are a decent person, and you're working on getting better.
