It seems like I want to cut everyday. And if I happen to talk to someone about it, and they ask why, I can't answer. Because I don't know! It's always at night too. My depression goes so far down at night. And I just feel like cutting, but I always have no reason! I don't know what's wrong with me. And I don't know what to do.

For me nights are hard. That is when I can't shut the thoughts out. Even when I can't answer why. I think it is alright not to have an answer.

Are you seeing a therapist? Or a psychiatrist? Getting any sort of help?

I can see how the feelings of depression can cause you to want to SI so that you can get relief.

Mhm. I have OCD. Self injury isn't a part of it, but, when I do self injure, my OCD gets in the way and makes me do certain things.

How about support groups in your area? I go to a local support group, it's free and if nothing else it's agreat soruce of infomation on what other low cost or free help is available in your area.

[quote=forgivexforget;1420919]I don't know any support groups...
I live in the USA. If you do also, this may be useful to you. If you do not, I am hoping that somehow you have something similar to this where you live. When I was looking for help and could not find it, someone told me to call my local "united way". They are an umbrella orginization for many different agencies and groups. Please thinkg about calling them and explaining what you are looking for. They are there for you. to help. I called them when I was beginning the process of filing for disability. I could not face the idea of filling out the forms alone. No matter how many calls I made, there was no one to help. I called united way. Got no leads. then someone coninced me to call again. This time someone said they knew of a group called psychiatric survivors. They are a funded group in my state. I called there. three times over a couple of weeks. and finally my psersistance paid off... in a very big way. They even have access to support of other types. In my state, United way is such an imporant agency that people can actually call 211 on their phone and reach them. Please remember that I called a couple of times before I found someone who accessed the info I needed. then I called psych survivors three times before someone actually took action and called me back. Persistance may be hard, especially when you are hurting so much. But it can pay off. I hope you will give it a try. My huge blessings to you.

I know where you are coming from because I feel the same way most of the time. I always have such a strong desire to cut when there really is no reason at all for me to want to do so. When I try and tell my friends this they act as if I'm doing it for the sole purpose of attention, and it kills me.

Cutting can also be an addiction that I am still suffering with, I can't got 2 weeks without doing it or I feel anxious. I know how you're feeling and night is the worse, when feeling from day, and week just overcomne and overwhelm you but just try other methods, read, run, scream they all help. Hope this helped you
 Goodluck<3

Well, you're not bull-----ing me so easily.
If it's any consolation, and as you probably know, I used to get that a lot, where every night I'd feel like shizz and end up wanting to SI, 'n I'd usually do it. You're clearly not alone, 'cause loads of people get it. Carry on fighting. You're doing really well, 'n I'm proud of you, as should you be. So yeah... Heh [: You know I do!  Gah.. bloody.. thing.. haha*cuddles you tight* ~xXx~

Thanks everyone.
Yes, I am afraid to let people get close. I'm afraid that they're gonna judge me and say things to me that'll make me feel worse. It's hard keeping this a secret. And I'll try to find a support group with all of your suggestions. :] And Akuma, thanks :] I'm not proud of myself, only ever was once when I wrote a 10 page paper xD I don't know why, but I'm never proud of myself.

Well, you should be proud of youself. [:
I'm afraid of the judgements too, and fear them making me feel worse. I know it's not helpful, but at least it's a lovely reminder you aren't suffering alone. BTW, kudos on the 10 pages. heh ~xXx~

There is a reason why you don't feel proud of yourself. While growing up were you put down?

Yes, I've been judged and people have made me feel worse.
I was always put down by my parents, and its still happening.
