Depression Is Depressing And So Is Cutting
Posted: 02-03-05 11:04am

:( i'm sad all the time. I have morbid thoughts that scare my family and some friends. I do have depression. But i'm not sure my medicine is working right. I still have the same feeling as I did 3 months ago before I started taking prozac. My mom doesn't know what to do for me n e more. I want to live w/ my grandma but my mom just won't let me. I have major problems at school and home. I have bad grades. "my life sux". And that's not the depression talking. People have to understand that those people that cut aren't cutting to kill themselves. They do it to get the pain inside of them out in the open. The cuts represent our life. Cut, bloody, scary, and harmful! We have our own way of dealing w/ pain. People also have to understand that it doesn't hurt. If your kid cuts then try to understand why they do what they do ok don't yell at them for doing it. :) you'll have a happier family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :wink:

Depression Id Depressing And So Cutting

You have to consult your family doctor to see the reason of your depression. Sometimes u might have illness that might cause depression. I have lupus and part of that symptoms is having depression and anexity. For three years I take effexor I feel better. This one helps a lot it depends on your case u can not get it without doctors' presribtion. Try to convince your mom to go for a while and live with your grandma if that will give you comfort and happines. Do your best to join out door activities, don't ever sit alone and think about your depression this will put u down. Listen to classic music, do gardening,watch funny programs, read practise sport do yoga. All these activities are not hard to do it. It will help you a lot to get rid of your depression. It is in your hand to help your self to recover from depression.
My heart is with you

There are other ways when it comes to dealing with pain and depression or even anger.. Not cutting urself.. You are hurting ur self not helping to deal with the pain.. When I am depressed and have a lot of anger I like to be by myself.. Listen to music that I like.. Take a walk or even a jog.. You shouldnt cut yourself.. You may think that it helps but it doesnt!! You should prolly see a family doctor maybe that would help more than me.. Well good luck sweety!! Keep me posted on whats up!!

What Should I Do
Posted: 02-11-05 19:52pm

You are only 14. This is not the age of love. Forget about it and concentrate on your studying. You still have time to love and be loved. Sooner you will reach the age that you can decide what is good for you and who will deserve your love and life. Take your time. Days and years pass fast. One day you will remember these moments and you will laugh at yourself
my best wishes to you for peace of mind !!

Umm thats a really stupid way to look at things. I'm sorry that you're depressed but maybe you shouldn't use your cutting phase as a trend and then it might go away. You seem like you're proud of what you do.

Noooo she is not proud of what she does.Trust me.She is not.Im saying this because of experience.And all she said its true! We dont cut ourselves for "attention". And when we do cut ourselves it doesnt hurt. For example me, I cut myself on my stomach because no one can see them. When I do cut myself it doesnt hurt me because when I cry my heart starts to hurt and I dont want it to hurt there so I jsut cut myself in my stomach so I can pay attention to the blkood and not my problems or my heart..Cut up angel I know how you are fgeeling.And its not good,people say people like us should get a therapist but I dont really recommend it to you because it doesnt work..I tried it..Look if you need someone to talk to or anything maybe I can hep and you can help me to0o email me at pri incesz190@hotmail.Com
this an lead to worst things I dont want that to happen to you please write back .
Thank you
