Do Not Read If You Are Triggered By Cutting

Well. It finally struck. I need help but I don't want to get it. I need someone to force me to go on meds. I am going to tell my friend to force me to take meds and get me in to a clinic to get a perscription or whatever. I know that meds work. They work so well that I hate it. But I need to. I myself am a cutter and last night I cut over 19 different spots on my body trying to relieve the pain I felt and get my mind of suicide. It worked because I am still here but it's not acceptable. My behavior was disgusting and I realize I need to force myself to be helped. Just thought I would let you all know that I am going to seek help and to please think of me.

dude good luck and i hope you can follow through. i think talking to a friend is a great idea. i don't know if someone could "make you" get help unless you really want the help but i think it is clear here that you do want some help.

telling a friend will make it more "real" for you, it will be like taking the next step and will make it harder not to follow through. and it certainly is a good idea to have a friend encourage you and urge you to go especially if you think you might change your mind before following through. also if it is someone who will go with you at least for your first visit when trying to evaluate what to do, that would be quite comforting and make it a lot easier.

good luck and yes i will be thinking of you.

Good decision. You really are a good kid and you deserve to have a better life. If you don't have to be stuck in depression, then do what you need to to get out of it. I am thinking of you, and sending positive energy your way.

Hey Dude,
Getting help is good choice. I know the earlier that you get help with this the more of a chance you are able to recover. I think you have made a good choice. I am not a cutter, only have had other self mutilation issues myself, burning with cigarettes, and It started when I was 17. It has not been an easy journey by far, but I have to say I believe you can do it. I havent burnt in 2004. The most important part is finding someone like a Therapist who you feel you can trust. For me trust is hard. Sometimes you got to go through a dozen therapists befor you hook up with one you really feel comfortable with and can trust. Hope you do get what help it is you need. Good Luck, and Take Care,

Peace~ CHRIS
