well....i just cant understand what s going on with me...I feel that i m sick and i m going to die soon...and i run tests-all clear so far. I visit doctors almost every week. I feel weak and dizzy.

I went to a psychiatrist and he proposed Prozac and Xazax and psychotherapy. I started all these 2 weeks ago. I feel more relaxed about the fact that i m going to die as a result of a serious illness, but then i feel suicidal and i m planning how i m going to end my life.

I m 23 years old. I m studying medicine. I never had a sexual relation ship. Maybe that s part of the problem.

The worst is that i cut badly last night...I dont do that very often, but i started when i was 17. I use blades not to cut deeply though. I just want to feel pain and see all that blood to feel calm again. Then i feel terrible. I threw away all the blades i had. I just want to cover my body with scars. I feel so ashamed. How am i going to hide these marks now? Any ideas?

i need help, but i dont know if i ever feel whole, happy and loved.... Sad

See if you can find a shrink who uses cognitive therapy. You don't get to vent as much as traditional therapy but you learn exercises that help you get over your anxiety and depression by treating the root cause which is many common thinking errors. Learn to use the tea form exercise which is really basic and good from a cbt book like the ones by sam obitz and michelle craske.

I'm a girl too Smile I honestly believe it is the way you are processing your thoughts that is making you feel so miserable. Try to learn how to counter your thoughts in a tea form and join a cbt group and I think you will feel much better soon.
