So confused about this...!


Question: So confused about this!.!.!.
I just don't know what to do!.

I don't exactly know how to ask this either!.!.!.
I went to my GP because of self harm (a problem i've had since i was 11 years old- i'm now 18)!. I've had 4 appointments since and am on a very long waiting list for an assesment!. The doctor i was seeing has left so i'm seeing a new one next time!.

My moods are so unstable!.!.!.sometimes (about half the time) i feel so down, cut myself and all i can think about is suicide!. It's HORRIBLE!. But other times (like now) i feel ok!. I don't feel especially good or anything but i feel able to cope with life!.!.!.

Right now i feel like it would be silly for me to go back to the doctors because i'm currently ok!. I'd just be wasting their time!. I want to get on with life normally and am really considering canceling everything!. I just know this mood isn't going to last long so i don't know what to do!. Sometimes im fine but others i simply ust can't cope!.!.!.

What should i do!? Cancel!? The last thing i want to do is waste anyones time!.

I just can't quite get my head mind around this!.!.!.i don't know what to do about the whole thing!. I can't be happy because on the rare occasions i am i feel really guilty and weird about it!. I cant just be normal and there always seems to be something wrong!.!.!.

Also im going away for my gap year in 6 months!.!.!.right when im meant to be having this assesment!. Will i still beable to go away!? Will i have to cancel the assesment or my gap year!?

Thanks for reading!. And please no mean answers!.!.!.!.i know i'm pathetic for all this!.

I'd really appretiate any advice!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Hi!. You are not pathetic, you just need some help!. If you have been cutting since you were 11 years old, the behavior has probably become an addiction!. When people cut, the body releases hormones called endorphins!. These endorphins help you feel better!. Eventually, you become addicted to a behavior that makes you feel better!.

The only way to stop is to get help!. Medication might help with the mood swings and the "impulsive" nature of cutting, but it will not get rid of the underlying feelings why you cut!. To get rid of those feelings you need to see a therapist who can help you deal with the cutting!.

I think you should get a therapist and when you go away for your gap year, also get a therapist!. Continue to work to help you figure out your feelings!.

You are not pathetic!. You are a person who has strong feelings and need to learn to deal with them!. You might also be Bipolar or Borderline or Depressed!. These are all treatable illnesses!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are not pathetic!. You need to go see your doctor, and tell him the way you feel sometimes and the way you feel right now!. Let him diagnose you!. You are suffering from depression, but they have great meds which can help you!.
Please do not cancel your appointment!. Keep it, and go talk to your physician!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

wild mood swings from severe depression to euphoria is a classic sign of bi polar disorder!.
is pretty common, i think something like 1 in 10australians have some form of mental illness!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should see your doctor even if during that day/week/whatever you feel fine!. While you're waiting start a journal about your thoughts/feelings on a daily basis!. This will help him/her determine what's going on with you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you may be manic depressive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
