Question: Why should i not cut when i feel so bad?
ive been getting help (talking with a therapist and i started taking 20 mg celexa almost 3 weeks ago) but im struggling and i want to cut so bad - im just so anxious/depressed/numb and im the one that has to deal with it and cutting makes me feel so good.

Answers:

I know it feels like there isn't a light at the end of the tunnel, but there is.

I know what it's like I used to do it all the time and occasionally still get the urge, here is some stuff that helped me to stop and will hopefully help you:

- Listen to music really loud, push those thoughts out of your head.
- Keep a diary and whenever you feel the urge just write down all your emotions.
- Draw pictures on your arms/wherever you do it to stop you from cutting them (I did butterflies so then I wouldn't kill them!)
- Make a cup of tea
- Phone a relative
- Watch a comedy on telly like Only Fools or something :]
- Reading, you can escape to a whole new world.
- Tale up a sport - well known to increase serotonin levels and it'll give you something to focus on.
- Go for a nice long walk, get out of the house.
- Do some volunteer work and help others, this way you will be distracted and feel fulfilled :D

I hope this helps - good luck ?



What makes you cut? Do you just like the way it feels or what? I don't think you should put your life in jeopardy for a temporary "good" feeling. You only get one life to live and that's it. So many people take their life for granted and don't realize that once you make a stupid decision that you have to deal with it and there's no going back. I know of people who would still want to be alive and living their life but can't because they decided to do something stupid. Find something constructive that genuineing makes you happy inside and do that. music, art, dance, etc. There's alot of things you can do besides cutting yourself which is extremely dangerous. Take care of yourself.

you are harming your own body. It's just not necessary. it will just make matters worse. people will give you more attention. just keep seeing your therapist and taking celexa.if the medicine isn't working, then ask your therapist if you can try a different medication.
dont hurt yourself. you will regret it later. your body is important.



It'll do a favour for you not to cut because it'l make you feel more suicidal cutting.
