Hello
I have recently been self harming more and I can't seem to stop self harming. My sister has asked me if I wanted to go to the doctors but I'm not so sure. I'm worried that I might not be treated properly or I doubt whether I have an issue or not. My friend spoke to me about the doctors. Going to the doctors is a maybe but these negative thoughts keep going round in my mind and it keeps putting me in doubt. I asked a friend whether I need professional help and he said yes. Last time I went to the doctors which was about a year ago, I was given anti-depressants and I don't think drugs could help. Please help me to decide whether I should go. I might go but these negative thoughts keep putting me in doubt about whether I should go. I know where my GPs are and I can arrange a day to go to visit the doctor. I'm also kind of scared of the doctor and I'm worried I won't be able to speak properly as I get nervous when speaking to doctors. I also asked if my sister would be with me and she said yes. Also my sister is only 13 years old and she is worried about me. She's scared and even cried about it. Is going to the doctors one step to happiness and help me to stop self harm? Do you have any advice? Any advice is appreciated. |

If you don't want medication then at least speak to your doctor about therapy. A therapist will help you sort out your feelings and stop hurting yourself.
Best of luck and blessed be.

I think you should try it. You never know, right? Maybe it could really help you.

If you are even thinking about going to the doc, that probably means you should go.

Hi Happy. I think you should go to the doctor. I believe it will help you and set a good example for your sister (who sounds like a good support for you). You can tell the doctor you are not comfortable around doctors. Please let the doctor help you.
