Thanks for askinng this question. I may have some other advice for you later, but I would request an invitation to join the "For Women Only" group and pose this questions there also. You can request an invitation at http://www.allaboutgod.net/group/forwomenonly I know there are ladies there who can provide some helpful advice.
I know for me, one of the best ways to overcome self destructive behavior was to begin to agree with God that he valued me enough to suffer and sacrifice his own son for me.
Once I began to accept that God valued me, even when I didn't feel worthy of any love, it enabled me to begin to agree with God in other areas. I learned to begin to agree (confess with my mouth) that God created me with a purpose, that he knew me before I was born, that Christ chose me, that Christ is the author and finisher of my faith, that he will never leave me nor forsake me, that he will answer when I seek him by faith, that by humbling myself he promises to exhalt me, that he has made me an overcomer and more than a conquerer in Christ Jesus, that the blood of Christ was truly shed for me, that he created me for freedom and abundant living.
Now I know that I can say that God truly loves me - because I have learned that God's Word makes promises which I can rely upon; and that he will prove it to me time after time.
Well, why should I harm what God has created for life and liberty and joy? He made me to be a vessel of honor, so why should I accept a lie that this vessel is unworthy???
Natasha, you were created by God with intention for joy, beauty, love, life, and happiness to His praise and glory. When you begin to confess that, you will overcome the self destructive feelings that the evil one has planted in your mind.
