That does not just sound like depression. It actually sounds like something else. I am by no means a doctor. You need to seek out help from someone. A school therapist or something. You could accidentally hurt someone you love. You need to think about that

u r moody rnt ya? always think twice before taking action... increase your patience

show some restraint... a human must never deliberately hurt him/herself in any way physically or morally... always analyze yourself... thats the best way... try to practice patience and increase your temper

one way to do that is to not give yourself what u want (something which is not a necessity of life) for a certain amount of time just to test yourself

for example if u r a cigarette smoker quit for a week or if u r fat and eat alot... reduce amount of food or cut your favorite meal for a couple of weeks

test yourself just for sake of seeing if u can handle it and encourage yourself to have patience.... thats why we have something called "fasting"

get yourself an anger fast - meaning try not to get angry for 1 day from the moment u wake to moment u go to bed... remember everything and everyone becomes an obstacle as soon as u make a decision like that.... for that day tell yourself u don wanna get mad at all over nothing and under no condition... for one day learn to accept what happens and treat it reasonably and not emotionally... if u r successful at the end of the day u'll figure it b4 u go pass out... somewhere in your mind there will be a new experience

and always remember u should be happy with what u got already... thousands of ppl are having way more serious problems and are really only trying to survive and stay alive ... always keep that in mind.. that there are way worse life stories than yours! and many exceptional and very intelligent persons have survived in those situations only to become famous ppl who have helped humanity in dif ways!

I SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION AND OTHER STUFF. YOU COULD BE DEPRESSED AND BY HURTING YOURSELF IS A WAY OF DEALING WITH THE HURT OR PAIN. I WOULD TALK TO A DR AND TELL HIM TO SEE IF YOU ARE DEALING WITH DEPRESSION. I WOULD SAY SOMETHING ABOUT HURTING YOURSELF BUT SEE IF YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION. IF HE SAYS YES YOU CAN GET TREATMENT AND MAYBE THAT COULD HELP YOU STOP HURTING YOURSELF.

maybe being put away is best? you needto be segregated from hurting yourself before you kill yourself

That should be the LAST resort, at least in my opinion, JUST CAUSE THINGS LOOK HOPELESS, CRAPPY, AND OR BAD doesnt mean that we have to go to such drastic measures, I think he or she needs friends someone to talk to. He or she needs a healthy even physical but POSITIVE way of venting it. It being his or her fustrations, like may be he or she could try taking up karate or a dance class, swimming, musical intrumental lessons even learn a new language. May be you could try learning skatebording, roller skating, roller bladding or volunteering somewhere. Just whatever he or she might be even slightly BE interested in just keep your self busy and active. However if that doesnt work then may be you could try the more quiet way of doing things like meditating, yoga, or pilates. May be your approch might be to combine active work like karate in the afternoon and quiet relaxing natured things like doing pilates at night before you go to bed or may be you could try doing yoga in the morning and at the eveining you go skatebording. If that doesnt work then may be you could try counsiling talking about your feeling easing and sorting them out. Your last effort should be to be locked up, you shouldnt have to resort to tha that's why you try different things and see what works.

Im in this site because my 13 yesr old dougther is cuting her self and she saids it makes her feel good when she is mad or sad. and i think this site will help me to help her. thanks.

Oh honey I am so sorry..This is a pain for the entire family..I am so glad you are trying to understnad and help her..So many on this site do not have that family support or are fearful to tell their parents..You will be able to help them the cutters as well..
Your daughter needs professional help..She cuts because she has a pain that she cannot describe or understnad..Self inflcited pain is to help shake the other pain away so it doesn't have to be faced right now..A cutter will cut out of fear, anger,a test,lonliness,just thinking about it..
I amhere whenever you want to talk..Just PM if you want..KD

I've had chronic depression since I was 10 years old, within this year I find myself seriously beating the crap out myself and for some reason it makes me feel better after i'm done. I think its a way to escape emotional pain by putting it into physicial pain which is something I can can grasp or control. I don't want to keep doing this and i'm afraid i'm going to get carried away one day. Today I was just screaming at myself in the mirror saying that I hated myself and i slapped my face about 20 times and gave me a nice bloody nose.ahh whats wrong with me?! thats not normal but I cant stop its become a reflex, does annnyone do the same thing or know someone that does? advice would be wonderful!
