Hi Sami, yes, a visit to the doctor sounds like a good idea. I know when I get depressed and stressed I get the same feelings—like I just can’t get out of bed, everything takes too much energy, my knees feel weak…I feel like I just have to lie my head down. You are at a very stressful period of your life right now—you need all the help you can get so maybe you could encourage your parents to get you to a doctor and maybe a pdoc. I know my meds have really helped me overcome the tiredness. Maybe you could make a list of alternatives to cutting? Some things you can do when you are stressed out. I am not perfect, but sometimes I am able to do things like journal instead of cutting. Hang in there.
