Q: Cutting...thoughts
asked by: vassiliki on April 27th, 2007

I am 23. I cut myself for 5 years now. But I have stopped for almost 1 year and a half. Lately I feel the same, old urges again and again. I started cutting all over again.

A year ago a fellow student died of cancer. It was a great shock for me. She was so young. So full of life. Since then I feel like crap. Day by day I m losing my mind, my willing to live, to study and so on.

About 2 months ago I started psychotherapy. It took me a great deal of time to find the right doctor for me. Still I dont know if it will help me. I dont feel much difference till now. But I came up with that thought.

For me cutting is strongly related with sexual compulsion. I ve never had sex till now. It is quiet embarrasing. It feels like a "disease". "i m not attractive". "i m not pretty". These thoughts are haunting me... I kinda hat emy body. And by cutting or burning it I feel relieved.

Anyone with the same thoughts??

Dearest Vassiliki,


I mayself also felt depress..Actually many people like us felt this too...But I will never do that to myself...Vassiliki if anything turns out to be wrong in your life, dont give girl, you are much stronger than that..Stop hurting yourself, there is someone you cares for you, and will always care for you..He is just a pray away...Seek for His guidance, seek for His help...He is just wating for you to come to Him..Why not try, to look around you..There are so many people that their problems are much worst compare to what we have...If you feel that you are not pretty...You are wrong about that Vissiliki, you are beautiful in ways that no other people can see..You are beautiful Vissiliki..And you will always be.

Hope that you will think of this...And when you need a friend I'll just be here...I can be a friend to you...Love you girl.

God BLess!!!

Always,
Ann

hey there.. yes I do understand why you feel this way. I think everyone that has depression has a certain degree of deathly thoughts. I truely believe that the deeper the depression, the less you want to live,, so you just need to fix your depression.. and I believe those thoughts will go away. When I was depressed, my zest for life was just gone.. I felt dead on the inside, and It felt like there was no point in living... but you just can't let these feelings decieve you... it's just the depression talking... not you.. the true you loves life and is very successful... I have released every bit of my depression and anxiety through Negative Emotional Release Treatment. Since I have been cured.. my zest of life has been 100% replenished. I actually dream about waking up in the morning.. when before that's the last thing that I wanted to do. Everyone that I know that has gone to that treatment says they feel 100% better now. If you want someone to talk to.. or have any questions about my experience please feel free to PM me .. take care

Hi,

Don't think that you're not attractive. Negative self talk really can get you depressed and stressed. I certainly hope you don't cut. Cutting leaves a lot of scars on yourself. It may feel like that's the only solution to the problem at the moment, but think about after. Try not to dwell in the moment. Have you seen a psychiatrist? I think seeing you GP is the first step to get referred to more support services.

I want to see you get better. Pain may seem like the only thing that can help you at the moment. I've been there and done that. But please, don't hurt yourself. A lot of people care about you and want to see you better. Try to be pro-active and seek help. If you ever need to talk. PM me please. I will be happy to chat with you.

Take care, my friend.

thanx guyz....

i feel that many "things" go wrong with me....since ever i ve been feeling ugly and stupid...but ok..i could handle it somehow. last spring a fellow student died from cancer and till then i feel sick all the time. i think i m about ti die. i think that i was never in love. i hate my body. cutting is a way to feel alive and maybe a rehearsal for the final act. i run medical tests frequently. if i hear that i m sick i m gonna kill myself. it s not that i see blackness everywhere. i know life is beautiful and worth all the trouble. but i m a useless human being.

yes i have seen a psychiatrist. xanax halped a lot-now i can sleep. prozac on the other hand didnt make much difference. psychotherapy helps in a way...but due to my doc's vacation i lost 2 appointments and that cost me a lot. i think i m getting addicted to the treatment and i hate it.

thank god i have ppl who care and love me. i dont know where i would be without them

I Know How You Feel. ..
I have cut before also. I haven't done it in a while though. But I feel too ugly and too fat for anything. That somehow I'm punishing myself by cutting. I'm sure you are not ugly, but I can't be sure since I haven't seen you. You are NOT worthless. Please talk to me if you want to. I'm here for you.
