Self Harm - anyone been in the same situation as me?!


Question: Self Harm - anyone been in the same situation as me!?
I have been self harming for around 6 years, due to a couple of different reasons!. I went for help for it 2 years ago, I was put onto anti-depressants ( I also has clinical depression) and I went to see a counselor!.
I found the counselor less than useful, she told me she had never dealt with anyone like me before!. I didn't really get very much from that!. I took myself off the meds, I didn't see my doctor and I know that was a stupid thing to do!.
Everything was going fine, been off the meds for around 9 months and now everything seems to be going wrong again!. Has anyone else had this, slipping back into old habits!? I was thinking to go back to my GP but wasn't too sure, I guess I wanted to know what other people in similar situations did!.
Any answers appriciated, thank you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes actually!.

I'd often think I was getting better and all the stress and problems in my life got to me!.

I also think you should go back to a doctor and get some meds, I know they don't seem like the help AT ALL!. Sometimes the person I talked to made it better!. And then I took my emotions and my wellbeing into my own hands, I over come my depression and harming myself!.

I hope this helps and you at least try and take my advice!. But when you want help you'll go and get some!.

Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

!.!.!.form new & rewarding habits, consume any time you can spend self-harming with other activity - I've uploaded a pic, it illustrates what you describe as a publicity stunt - I have seen the band live and they need no such distraction from their esteemable talent!.!.!.!. !.!.!.!.and I am sure the same applies anywhere there is an instance of self-harm!.

There is of course however no irrefutable evidence either way to suggest that it is, or isn't e!.g!. The Lord Jesus Christ trying to be compassionately present in an omnipotent way that draws you to your higher calling - but with the implication of brutal merciless torture inflicted upon His person despite being the foretold Son of God, & in the eyes of two millenia's generations since!.!.!.!.!.!.
!.!.!.!.although I'm sure you know what His advice would be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When I was seventeen I had been cutting for two years, and I thought enough was enough!. I had always been really, really private about it, and had come up with all sorts of devious ways to hide it, with a whole range of excuses why I wouldn't uncover that arm for injections/outfits etc!. I decided I would just stop, and cope like everyone else!. I managed for a year on my own, but then there was a big incident at home and I lost it, and slashed my arm over two hundred times with a piece of broken plate, and had a bit of a breakdown where I started to see things, and argue with myself in my head!.

I decided to "grass myself up" and told everyone I self-harmed, as much as I hated them knowing, because I figured the shame and embarrassment would be enough to stop me!. It wasn't!. I'm really sorry you got one of those professionals who has no empathy for self-harmers, and doesn't even try to understand, but there are good counsellors out there!. Mine was amazing, and just being able to throw some of the crap out of my head made me feel like I wasn't sinking so fast any more!. I saw her for a year and it really changed me for the better!. I'm such a different person now!. She also helped me to develop some form of assertiveness, and to think about things in a healthier way!. Sometimes it takes a few tries, but if you find the right counsellor for you, it will definitely help!. It is hard,and you do have to be brave, but when you've been through so much, you're stronger than you know,

If you go back to your GP he may also put you on a waiting list for CBT!. I was seen within three weeks, but I didn't like the woman, so I stayed with my counsellor instead!. CBT would have been great with the right person though!.

You CAN get better,and the fact that you recognise when you're starting to go downhill, and are seeking help for yourself is so positive!. I hope things go well for you xXXWww@Answer-Health@Com
