I just started cutting recently, I did do it about 15 years ago and I never thought I would go back to it (I'm now 30).
I've had depression/anxiety for about 18 years or so, I was officially diagnosed in 2006. Anyway over the past two
or three months I've had several issues. The primary one is that I am being forced to emmigrate back to my home country
(Denmark) from the UK due to their changes in immigration policies, I went down every avenue to contest this but once
a law has been made/changed, there is nothing you can do. The other issues include a bad breakup due to my failure to
perform sexually, and yes I was on the blue pill and it did nothing. I don't want to die, so I've sliced the top of my legs
and also just below the shoulder to hide them from whomever. I've tried many forms of therapy over the years, all kinds of medication
and nothing has worked, I have no close friends at the moment, and my family and I are not close.

I don't know what to do

I am a self harmer...... so I will sound very hypocritical here..... but my therapist is rubbing off on me.

You have began to cut recently. Can you please explain to me, how making yourself bleed improves your problems? Does it change the UKs immigration policies? Does it improve your sexual issues? Does it help you make friends or have a deeper relationship?

I hope you can see SH for what it is.... Best wishes to you.

Firstly, 15 years is incredible. I know that you are struggling again now and that's ok too, but that still needs to be acknowledged. I'm sorry to hear that you are going through all of this at the moment - I can't imagine how stressful it must be. Someone once explained to me the idea that self-injury is like any other addictions - in times of great stress if all your other coping mechanisms fail it can resurface.

Can you remember why you stopped at 15? What happened to bring about that change? Sometimes some of the techniques that helped then might be able to help you again now.

It doesn't and you know that perfectly well, I take issue with your hypocrisy. I didn't ever claim that self harming would improve my problems, it is a coping strategy, and the problem is that it works. Nothing will change the issues I am having, because I have tried every single avenue I could, in regards to the policies, and the sexual health, nothing has worked. As for deeper relationships, guess what, women don't want to be with a non functioning man. But thanks for the judgmental and combative answer, I don't think this is the place for me.

I'm sorry for what's happening to you. Do/Will you have any support in Denmark?

Lasse,
Sorry - apparently I came across all wrong. I was NOT passing judgement, nor was I trying to upset you in any way.... SINCERELY.

I was just trying to help you see that you deserve nice things. Not hurtful things.

Sorry for upsetting you. It really wasn't my intent. I hope you will stay here at psych central. OTHER people here are very nice. And I will self-ban myself from your future posts to ensure that I do not upset you again.
