Does digging your nails into your arm mean your depressed?!


Question: Does digging your nails into your arm mean your depressed?
I do it heaps
I push my nails into my wrist really hard
some times I scratch it really hard with something sharp
but I never let it bleed
am I depressed?
I do this when I am really angry with myself

Answers:

Its probably what we call self harm, not necessarily depression.

What I can suggest is going to see a doctor/councilor and talking to them about why your angry and they can help you sort everything out. I know its really hard, I've been through this myself and people still don't know about my self harm but trust me it will feel better.

Try telling one of your parents if you live with them.



That seems to be the way you release anger, and I suggest you find a different way to deal with it. It could also be a sign of nervousness, if you've been anxious about anything lately.



No your not depressed.. its just what you do to get your anger out... try this the next time ur about to .. explode :L !!!.. close your eyes take deep breathes and open your eyes then watch somethng funny on youtube :P xD .. try watching miranda .. SO funny



You're not depressed. That word is thrown around way too much.
