I am now cutting myself. |
I have a big problem I have been going into very deep depression the
last month. Now I have started to cut myself I have like somewhere
between 50 - 70 cut on my left for are. Not very many of the are very
deep but deep enough to bleed for a min or so. I know this sounds
stupid but when I cut myself it give me a relive from this world. And
sometimes I am not even thinking when I do it. I can see my self doing
it but it is live a movie of myself. I hope you understand what I meet.
My roommate have removed off the knives and other thing that I could
cut my self with out of the apartment. to help me not cut my self. I
know I need some help, but I do not know what kind of help I need. I do
not want to go somewhere where they will lock me up or something like
that. But I know I need help. Talking about this make me wish to cut
myself. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I had a friend who cut himself on his wrist. At first he lied about it and
said he fell off his bike. But months later, he told the truth. It's scary
to hear that from a friend. He said he was frustrated with life, was
isolated, and felt no-one could relate to him.

My boyfriend used to cut on his arms when we were together before when
he was upset or angry or depressed. I made him promise not to do it
anymore, and he hasn't.

Go to a doctor, get checked for depression and all. They can't lock you up
unless they believe you are a danger to yourself or others or are willing
to sign yourself in. You can make a deal if it's close. You agree to call
if the urge gets too strong, that's all. Go to a doctor and get started
getting well.

I'll second Bev. People don't get locked up for depression alone. You
have to exhibit some pretty extreme behaviors (much more extreme than
yours; i.e., be dangerous) for involuntary hospitalization.
You should find a psychiatrist, or (if you can't), a general family
doctor, ASAP. Depression can be treated, and you need treatment.
Good luck to you, and let us know how you are doing.

I am sorry I have not logged on the internet in a few day. I wish to
thanks everyone how had giving me some information about me cutting my
self. I when for my first counning session today. I do not know how it
when I felt very weird and did not open up every much. But hopefully in
time it will help. I will be keeping the group informed of my progress
since you guy have asked my to. This have been my first day not to cut
myself for a week. But I am sad to say the only reason is because I
could not find anything to cut myself with. But I am working in trying
to find something to do besides cutting myself that give me the some
relief but, I has been very hard and and so far been very good, but I
am still trying. My Counselor I am seeing has worked with people how
cut them-self also. And she wishes that I will start taking "Paxil". I
will have to see a Dr. to get that I will go to see a Dr. about that in
about one week.

there are quite a few of we "self injurers" in the group. some are even
male. i am female.
unfortunately, i find that talking about it too much only feeds the
addiction and causes me greater amounts of temptation to give into it.
try the rubber band therapy. wear it on your wrist, and each time you feel
the urge to cut, snap the rubber band. it doesn't always help, but it's
worth a try.
good luck, benjamin.

I will try the rubber band thing since you asked it can't heart
anything. I have never heard about this. That do I do? "Just pull it
back and let it snap my wrist what I fell like cutting"?

I have been using Google group to search Usenet trying to find another
current cutter to maybe talk to my I thought we could help each other.
But, could not that is OK. I hope to find someone here that use to cut
and maybe I could talk to her/him about it and maybe that will help.
But I did find some past post from other cutters that have post on
Usenet. some came from this group. Also I fill very bad about something
and I have to tell someone. I fell OK talking to people on the group
becouse you guys are very understanding helpful and I think becouse I
can't see or hear you guy it make it easier my know you guy or
something. But everyone here is very helpful. What I found on the
internet is hat most cutter are female. I am a male and I cut myself.
So that is rear for cutter. I am since I could not find something to
cut my self with I am talking in the Usenet newsgroup. This fells like
a drug addition or something. It is like I need it to help get the pain
out of me out something like that. Have anyone here ever took "Paxil"?
I have never took an antidepressant. And I am kind of nervous about
what it is going to be like. Well thanks for reading this and letting
type here when I needed to cut that very much.

I hope other 'cutters' in ASD will see your posts and talk to you; I'm sure
there are some - including some males. Cutting is not as rare as you might
think; somehow, some people do feel a sort of relief when they do it. Try
not to feel bad about it.
'Talking' in newsgroups can be a very big help.
Have anyone here ever took "Paxil"?

See my reply to your other post :))

Welcome back :)) congratulations for having coped with that first session
with a counsellor; I promise, it gets easier and more useful. As Bev said,
you have to get to know each other.
'Paxil' (also called 'Seroxat' in some countries, or the generic name
'paroxetine') is used by many people, and can be a big help. There are
many other anti-depressants if that particular one doesn't work well
enough. Don't worry about using it, and do give it time (about a month,
usually) for you to feel the benefit. Any side-effects usually wear off as
you get used to the medication. Your doctor should be able to explain
these things in more detail, and the pharmacist should have a leaflet with
useful information.

It takes awhile. You have to get to know them, they you, both of you have
to get comfortable. Give it some time to grow.

That's great!
But I am sad to say the only reason is because I could not find anything

That's OK, that's still all good. Part of dealing with behaviours is
keeping the triggers and tools out of your environment.
But I am working in trying to find something to do besides cutting
myself that give me the some relief but, I has been very hard and and so
far been very good, but I am still trying.
That's what to do. Give it time, too.
My Counselor I am seeing has worked with people how cut them-self also.
And she wishes that I will start taking "Paxil". I will have to see a

Good plan. You are on-track.
