The pain is getting to be too much

Whatever93 · June 11th, 2010, 01:50 AM

I go to a boarding school for my anger, depression, cutting, and suicidal urges. I don't seem to be getting better and I fear I may never get better, because every day I get to a point where I want to cut. Tonight it's so bad that I'm having "cravings" for cutting constantly for hours. Its been 10 months and 6 days since I last cut and the pain of not doing it is getting to be too much. I just feel so helpless and hopeless and unsure of what to do. I need help but I don't know who to turn to. I'm afraid to go to anyone for fear of what their reactions would be to it. I just need something; I don't know what though.

Try and see a psychiatrist. They have to be confidential it's required, they have seen many many different things - people who feel walls talk, people who see people, people who hurt themselves, etc... It's like getting counseling and a doctor appointment in one since they can counsel you and also prescribe medicine. If you feel like you don't really want to see one at first because it's a drag as some people honestly do, then do some research and pick one YOU want and YOU like. It's your feelings and you should pick your doctor if you can. I was someone who was not crazy about going myself when I lost my first grandparent, but truth is it's really important to go if you need to. Good luck. Be kind to yourself. If you have certain movies, tv shows, stuffed animals, etc... you like keep them close, watch them etc... and think as positive as you can.
