I can't offer any real advice, but I am a cutter who does NOT want to do the MEDS or doctor thing. I don't want to be on meds. I too feel like I am falling apart. I can usually go anywhere from 9 days to 3 weeks without cutting, but have not been able to do so lately. I know it's getting worse, and that is why they want me to do the meds thing, but I don't want to. I know I didn't offer you any real solution, but like me after reading your post; maybe you can feel like you are not alone. I want to be sure to add, that unless people have been in this situation where they have cut currently or in the past, it is hard for them to understand what is going through a "cutters" mind.
I use this website...
www.nshn.co.uk
they are amazing on there, you get real advice and help.
When you are ready, you need to get some professional help, it will probably be from a psychologist and they will help you figure out why you feel the way you do. Until then the website should help. Take care xx
You can't, really. You need to talk to someone, a professional, and get help (not necessarily meds).
Although you clearly aren't into the idea of trying a medication, I think it would really help. It'd give you breathing space where you could slowly sort out your feelings. I use to self harm and antidepressants helped me stop, and become less depressed. If you don't like the idea of counseling then maybe try talking to a family member or friend that you trust and are close to? That should help somewhat. Besides that, all you can do is force yourself to not do anything stupid and live each day... Which without help, and since you're depressed, will be very difficult. I hope you realize to seek help because I do believe that's your best option! I hope you feel better soon hun!
There is no way you can stop all this, RIGHT NOW, without going to a doctor.
If you want to stop this permanently, you have to see a psychiatrist, who most probably will ask you to take some medications temporarily, so that you will not have these emotions or actions that will disrupt your daily life, and in the meantime, see a therapist, who can identify your feelings with you, for the long run, when you will not be on medication by the psychiatrist.
Because you are feeling depressed, you think that subconsciously you want to feel the pain on the outside to equate to what you are feeling internally.
Love yourself. Don't harm your body. You are hurt enough. So do not cut yourself.
Can you call the hospital or doctor immediately now?? they have after office hours numbers. Else, please call the emergency number 999 for an ambulance, to make sure that you are safe.
share your stories to your friend... it work !!!
Talk to loved ones. Write stories and poetry. Keep a diary and write down your feelings, then go back and read them the next day. It's hard to not cut, especially once you've already done it. If you haven't started, please don't. Get help immediately. The best thing to do is to talk to friends, family, boyfriend or girlfriend, or even a school counselor or your favourite teacher. Things will get better eventually, you just need to keep holding on. =]]
Good luck. <3
Go for a walk. Honestly, what the hell do you think you're going to accomplish by making little tiny scars up and down your arms? Nothing. Be productive... write a poem, take a walk. Go for a run.
Do something intelligent.
i guess i will say what worked for me. Basically it came down to going into the hospital several times that I had to get a doc and a social worker. My doc is ok but my social worker has in a lot of ways saved me. She has taken several risks to earn my trust. At some point I was able to tell her what I was feeling. Now if I feel like cutting I draw pictures of cuts all over my body then showing her. So you need to find a coping skill and usually the best start is to talk. Get all those thoughts out of you.
u need help...
