I'm 18, female. A year ago I lost my
boyfriend. He sadly died the day after my
17th birthday :( also 6 months ago I had
my left eye removed. I just feel so, so
down. I used to self harm now and then,
but that has stopped cos I can't be
bothered covering my cuts as mum always
sees him anyway. I've finally made an
appointment with my gp. She is going to
give me counselling once a month and
hopefully give me some anti-dpressants. I
just want to feel "happy" again! It seems
so hard :( is meds good? What's the
side affects, and do they last long?

What a tragic things to go through at such
a young age! My best wishes to you for
your strength.
My sister used to be a cutter, and she has
scars all over her arms from that. The
counselor knows (or definitely should
know) about that type of behavior and be
able to treat the underlying issues that
cause this. Obviously though, counseling
is a good idea; it will help you. What
you are going through now, for some
reason, is going to strengthen you and
will in the long run somehow, help you in
your purpose on this earth.
Prayers to you

theblackplagueofdestruction. Feel free to
talk about it. Major depression can do
that. Cause I got major depressive
disorder. If you wont wish to add me I
hope you feel better.
Hey martina
sorry to hear about your troubles. I'm
sure I can't empathise completely however
hard I try. You've been through a lot at
a young age. But you know what, bad times
do not go on forever. Everyone has good
and bad phases in life. Thats how god has
made all our lives. Your bad phase will
pass over sooner or later. You need to
keep your strength till then. Don't lose
hope. You will find new love and
inspiration in life, god willing. Keep
smiling. It will make a world of a
difference.

Self Harming Posted: 09-12-06 07:50am
I hate when people think that they can
solve your problems for you. They
probably aint even gotten their own lives
sorted. So how the medical question will
they know what is best for you. They
dont. You think self harming is a
sickness?? Then o god save me im sick.
Lol. Its not a sickness it is a way of
coping. You dont catch it it is part of
you.
You think self harming people are weak??
Do you know how much strength it takes to
cut your self?? No.
Cos you aint been there and till you have
been through it back off you know nothing.
You only see what you see.
You can possible give advice on what you
dont no so dont because you will never
doing it understand.

I believe this post was about martina and
her hardships and road to wellness. Dead
little me, you can whine about your issues
in your own post. Anyway, martina, i'm
sorry to hear about so many hardships
you've had at such a young age.
Counseling is a great idea. Some types of
therapy are so effective that medications
aren't even needed. And if you need some
extra talking time, we're here for you.
God throws us curveballs sometimes without
an explanation. All we can do is be
thankful for what we do have, and hope for
the best with everything else. I have a
feeling you are going to be a strong woman
in the near future. God bless and I hope
everything turns out ok.

that was very rude ccris123. This isn't
some...Never mind. Still people see a
post name and think, "hey, maybe I can get
some help here". What you said was rude,
and uncalled for.
