Question: My mom thinks im depressed because i cut, If you cut does that automatically make you depressed!?
Answers:
Yup it does make sense but technically if you think about it you actually answered your own question

You said that you heard that people cut to release pain - they usually cut because it diverts their attention from whatever is hurting them and they see the blood and all is well

You cut yourself because it makes you focus on the pain and not the bad stuff in your life

But you should see someone because there is usually another / deeper reason as to why people cutWww@Answer-Health@Com

No it doesnt make sense!. To begin with, you are going to go through lots of trials and tribulations in this life, you need to learn how to cope with those and still keep your sanity!. Your cutting is a way to not deal with the real problems, cutting is not a solution,, it's just another problem!. Yes, depression can be one of your diagnosis but you also have issues with mood disorder, self induced pain, unreasonable fears, troubling thoughts!.
Your thoughts will lie to you, they will magnify your problems in your head and show no way out!. But that might not necessarily reflects the reality, just your perception of your problems is distorted!.
Yes you will need some medication at least for awhile to help you redirect your thought process, adjust your mood and get rid of dark thoughts!.
Give it a try, it can make you feel like a brand new person!.
Hope i dont sound harsh!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Unless you do it for attention, yes I'd say it labels you as depressed!.

Frankly, you don't see something go great for someone so they cut themselves!. People cut to cope with anger, sadness, etc!. Not happiness!.

There are lots of other, healthier ways to get your mind off things and cool off!. You might think about seeing a therapist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

How do you feel before, during, and after, when you cut!? I don't think that "depression" covers the cutting thing, but it's probably part of it!.

But you should talk to someone who helps people who cut!. They might have some insight to help you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think it "automatically makes you depressed," but people almost always cut because they are depressed!. Do you feel you are cutting for another reason!? You should edit with additional details!.

It seems like you are letting your problems control you!. I know it might be intimidating, but you have to confront your problems and change what is wrong in your life!. Cutting yourself isn't doing anything but leaving embarrassing scars!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

not, it dosen't automatically make you depressed!. depression and self injury are two very different things!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It doesn't automatically mean anything!.

It's just a bad coping mechanism!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pretty much!. It's a coping symptom!. Have you seen a professional!? You really should!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My friend used to cut himself but he wasn't depressed, he did it before working out for some stupid reasonWww@Answer-Health@Com

I think it means that you are searching for help!.Crying out even!. Seek help from a trustworthy source!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

well, why do you do it then!?
you tell me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
