i dont know if it is the medication i am on, or what. but it seems like these negative thoughts are increasing with time. i try to run away from them the best i can, but theres only so much, and so far that i can run before they catch up and i feel crazy again... i dont know what to do anymore. i had so much fun bringing in this new year. i spent it with the most wonderful people i could. i was scared to stay here because i didnt want to drink, so they got me. they just dropped me off a little over an hour ago, and now, i just feel so down. i keep having negative thoughts, and i was fine while i was with them, but now, all of the thoughts are slowly coming back. i hate this! i dont want to be negative! i dont want to die! and i dont want to cut! but at the same time... i do...

Do not hurt yourself xxxxx
I hope that you are on antidepressents. I did not self-harm - but i jumped 30 feet onto a motorway and inflicted serious injuries on myself. I would not recommend that! i learnt that i was very, very ill and am now recovered. Still feel guilt, but have come to terms with what i did. I look back and realise that i was very ill, but did not know it at the time. One day, you will look back too and see how ill you were. take all the help that you can get. Don't jump xxxxxxxxxx

i know what your going thru and it is very difficult you should talk to who gave you the antidepressants and tell them how you are feeling and ive been on them before and they usually dont help......because they most of the time make the thoughts worse...

hi,I'm long out of my cutting phase but I'm starting to feel so stressed out.Its been years now that I've not cut and though I've been on meds,had every type of therapy,ect I'm not fully recovered.I hide feeling of suicide from friends and family because I made a choice to stop all treatment last year.I got completely fed up and decided to try working on my own method.But honestly I feel overwhelmed and helpless.I've realized that I find other destructive ways to deal with my stress,drinking,drugs,sex.I never want to feel as low as I did when I was cutting but I'm starting to feel even worst,crying myself to sleep,sometimes crying all day,I'm even drinking as I type this.*sigh*I get an overwhelming sense of frustration with not just me,but the world.Is there any natural way to cure this?
