Well, I don't know if it's the most obvious thing in the world but yeah, you might be depressed!. Look into Bi-Polar disorder also, it sounds like you present many of the symptoms!. Actually, so many of the symptoms that you sound exactly like myself when I was 14, anyways, I'm 15 now and currently off any medications, so I'm just saying that it's not always brighter on the other side if you do look into taking drugs!.

I feel like sometimes it would be better to be taking a daily pill regiment, but then again I think that feeling this way, like not many other people do, provides incredible insight on some situations that would have easily crushed others who don't share the same perspective!.

Anyways, good luck and stop cutting!. I know personally how hard it is but it's really ackward when your talking to someone and they happen to notice that your a slasher, and believe me they don't easily believe that your 'just bored'!.

Also excercise more!. It will help you get to sleep and will lessen the affects of your depression, you may want to look into lucid dreaming as well, it's become sort of a hobby of mine and it helped me to sleep!.

Good luck, and if you want to talk you can send me an email!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You really are depressed I went through that faze and it was like hell!. Then I met Dylan and he changed my life around!. You should find something or some1 that you enjoy or think you'll enjoy!. that's wat i did!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of all, this has nothing to do with depression!. You don't sound very depressed at all!.

I think you should stop cutting though!. If boredom is the reason why you're cutting, then go find something else to do! Read a book, go have a jog, occupy yourself when you feel like cutting!. If you enjoy cutting, then I think it's not very right!. Not as in that you're stupid to do so or anything, I just think it's not right that you like to self-mutilate and hurt yourself!. It's like taking a knife and stabbing your heart over and over again, except less exaggerated!. There are many things in the world that are really more appealing than just cutting yourself!. I mean, how fun can it be or how good can you end up feeling!?

Maybe it's just your outlook on things and life that makes you this way!. Perhaps you should try to hang around people who think more brightly about things!. I mean, if you think nothing excites you, then nothing will!. Even if I threw you on top of a shark and you think, hey, this is just nonsense, then of course it'll be like that!. It's all in a state of the mind for these things!. No one can help you with this and I know because I used to be really just "bleh, whatever"!.

Start thinking like "Hey, you know, I have food on the table and I'm not starving myself skinny just to look like every other person who wants to be a lamp post" and if you can think positively about more things, maybe then your life will turn from black and white to something a little more colourful!. Not everyone thinks yellow looks just like yellow!. It's not only our visual but also our mental perception of things that makes everything a lot more interesting!.

It's not weird!. I know how you feel!. When I was going through depression, I loved being sad!. I loved crying, I loved thinking about how sucky my life is!.!.!.etc!. Your symptoms do match up with typical depression symptoms!. And cutting may very well be an effect of this depression!. Cutting is a release of the pain that is pent up inside!. That's why it feels good!.

I think you need to find a different therapist since this one isn't helping you much!. I think that a good route would be a psychiatrist!. Medications will help you feel better, and they can also help you get a good nights sleep!. Taking meds for depression is the exact same thing as taking meds for cancer!. Depression is very serious like cancer is; both can end up in death, sadly!. Fighting it full force (with medication) is the best way to beat it!.

Best of luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
