ok, i "used" to be a cutter, please dont go on telling me how wrong it is.. i know and have heard it all before.. i have been cutting myself since i was 11-12 years old.. im 19 now.. and i have been really good lately with the whole cutting thing.. not doing it and having the will power to get over the feeling to do it.. but lately.. i feel so AAAHHHHH and just feel like i need to do it, i really dont want to.. i have been doing so well, and dont want to be that person anymore, but i just cant get it out of my head. i am fighting the urge to do it, and i just feel like i cant fight it anymore.. i dont know what to do.. most poeple dont know i do it, and those that know about it.. think im better.. so i really have no one i can go to.. without putting dissapointment on their faces.. i have no where to go, no one to turn to.. and i really want help, because i dont want to do it anymore.. but i dont know what to do.. everything is becoming a mess again in my life.. and i feel like i need it, and im afraid i cant fight the urge anymore..
and thoughts or ideas of how i can deal with this.. anything.. just any little thing you can think of? would be most gratey appreciated!!

The best advice I could give you is when you get the urge to cut dont do it to yourself but to a dresser our bring in a piece of wood from outside and cut a chunk into it. Then at the end of the week look at the stick or whatever it is that you decide to cut and be proud of yourself. This is a little tip I picked up when I was volunteering as as a counsler for troubled teens. you woud not believe how much this technique works. Give it a try you have nothing to lose.

I think I might be Schizophrenic.And Im not lying when I say this either. I feel really weird saying this I've only told three people. Well,Sometimes I hallucinate demon and demonic and scary weird stuff. Like when I blink... and it happens so fast that by the time my eyes are opened its already gone. But ill remember it. They're really super graphic and realistic and sometimes I will see like... almost shadows with no face or shape. not normal shadows and they like move either fast or slow and theyre scary.
I see those in my room at night all the time. and I see those with my eyes open.This has happened to me my whole life and it seems to get worse as i get older.I will also seem to feel something brush by my shoulder or tug at my clothes and pull at my hair and when I turn around, nothing is thier. I looked schizophrenia up and it says depression and anxiety are common to have along with it. and I have Severe depression and anxiety so that really got me thinking..So yeah can you tell me whats wrong with me and if I should see a doctor. I dont really wanna tell my mom is their a way I can get around telling her and still get help? I told her once when I was little and she didnt belive me.and she always thinks I lie for attention

So youve been "seeing" these things your whole life? Im really interested in what else you might have seen and a little bit more of a detailed account of whats been hapening to you i really think I could help becuase if it is what I think it is my lil sister went through the same thing. I think I could help you but I need more information. If you could please email me at AskAmandaLyn@aol.com and we can discuss this further. I would really like to help because if whats hapening to you is what happened to my Sister than your going to need it.
