Inpatient treatment for cutting? Posted: 12-22-07 03:24am
hey, i am 18 and have been self-injuring
since i was 13. basically, it's just
getting worse and worse and i am bipolar +
i have anxiety, which worry me when
combined with the cutting. i don't want
to do something one day that i can't undo.
i've been avoiding treatment (more like
dodging) since ninth grade, when my gc was
told about my SI by a friend and the
school/my parents tried to get me a
counselor. i went for awhile, then talked
my way out. same thing happened junior
year, except instead of talking my way
out, i got myself diagnosed with ADHD
(easy to manage and not socially-taboo).
now, (college) i tried to really start
dealing with things, but am on my own
because i chose an out of state school and
everything fell apart. Trying to fix
things messed up my school work, and I
ended up failing all 4 classes. Also
started doing some drugs (pot, chronic, e)
and uh, i'm kind of addicted to adderall
to boot.
Gist of it all - does anyone know any
inpatient treatment centers for
self-injury/bipolar disorder/addiction
(the adderall)? i've been looking, but
can't really find anything and i think a
residential treatment center is the only
chance i've got.
i want to be a writer and succeed in
college and live to be an old, cooky woman
and just be okay with who i am and trust
in life. you can PM me or reply here or
w/e, but any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks! and happy holidays!

Hey; I know how you feel. Sure, it's true
that being Bi-Polar and having Anxiety is
a bad combination along with the cutting,
but it's not really the combination, it's
what you do with it. Have you tried to
stop cutting without any meds/treatment?
The Adderall can do wonders for, well,
everything, but, being addicted to it is
(normal, but bad none the less) really
kind of damaging. I hated the way I felt
on adderall, but it may be different with
you.
My suggestion, you may not want, but it
worked wonders for me. Get some help.
Whether it's a drug rehab, or whatever,
just get help.

xxRelapse, thank you for responding, and i
think that's what i'm going to do - get
help that is. i'm just having trouble
finding the right type of help. i don't
want to go to the wrong type of place or
something (that's the kind of thing that i
would do lol).
the_girlfriend, i read your responses when
you were talking with someone else in the
self-injury forum and they were great, so
I would definitely appreciate any help you
could give me. you're obviously a strong
person and your baby is adorable in your
avatar : ) whenever you have time you can
reply, things must be nuts for you right
now.
Merry christmas or happy holidays to you
both!
