my family doesn't believe me. they think I'm all better now and feeling a little down is normal but I'm not just a little down. I really want to hurt myself I've been thinking about death far too often. I'm afraid to tell them.though because I'm afraid they won't believe me or think I just want attention. **** attention that's why I do it to my upper thigh instead of my wrists!!

You don't need your families blessing to seek help. I am a cutter ,so trust me things can get out of control really fast. Call your Pdoc or a hotline or take yourself to the ER.
Stay safe

I'm sorry your having such a hard time right now.
 I agree with Christina, if you can't convince your family, seek out help on your own. I don't have much to add except that I hope you feel better soon.

i totally understand the family thing! i hate telling my husband what's going on because he sometimes accuses me of "not trying hard enough" to "get over" the depression. if he knew how often I have cut myself since I relapsed i'm afraid he would try to commit me! And my mom just gets over worried about things...they would rather believe everything is fine, though.
But if you are over 18, you don't need them to get help. trust yourself! tell your T what's going on (i know you can't contact your pdoc directly). even if you are under 18 you don't need their approval! sometimes I have to just remember that it's cycle and this episode will end...sometimes I get stuck in remembering it will come back too...but it WILL end! Just hold on! hold on when you feel like letting go - hold on it gets better than you know!

Glad ur going to the doctor. Its hard for other people to understand how awful we feel if they havent been there themselves. Its taken me a while to get my husband to understand (at least for the most part)
Hope u feel better!

I've cut too. I have a really awesome tattoo to cover some of it. The Scream by Munch, on my left forearm. it reminds me not to cut. i also have a few cuts on my legs. I've been tempted to cut, but haven't done so in years.
Glad you're seeking help. & hope you feel better soon.

I don't think " cutting makes us ugly" I think that anyone that cuts ( myself included ) or has cut has enough shame and self loathing to struggle with... calling it ugly makes people feel even worse. Sorry just my opinion.

I've taken to cutting in interesting patterns, so it doesn't look so bad

I disagree. Ugly is a negative word. There is enough stigma just having a mental illness. I could easily say punching a wall is bad. The good thing about PC is that it is ok to disagree.

My kid is a cutter. he has been diagnosed bp. But his mom doesn't accept it. She has her own psych problems and hates doctors. Also, my kid wouldn't take his meds when he had them. So, so frustrating. Sometimes I blame myself for giving him bp. Intellectually, I know its not my fault. But that doesn't help much.

My parents don't understand, nor will they ever. I'm older, so guess their acceptance shouldn't be as crucial and at the same time it doesn't matter - most of us all seek acceptance, understanding and approval from our parents at any age.
I have to accept I'm never going to get it from mine and look for other sources, PC, a friend, support group, etc. I truly hope you feel better Comicgeek. I think no one understands the best as someone who's walked in our shoes...

So depresssed. Not getting any better, in fact getting worse. Losing motivation of any kind. Don't want to eat, or do anything, really. Did force myself to take a shower, though. I did take the abilify so now I have just a tiny bit of energy (probably not a good thing i my state of mind), but screw zoloft. I'm done taking that freaking sugar pill!

They say that holding something such as a piece of ice for an extended time can help with these types of emotions. I understand where you are coming from with the depression. Mine has been going on for about a month now, and it seems like whatever coping skills I do, it doesn't help. I am having thoughts, and I just wish I could distract myself away from them. The people I talk to do not understand and don't think there is anything going on with me or they don't care. I listened to some music today and that helped a little.
