Question Posted Tuesday September 20 2005, 7:39 pm

I'm an ex-cutter and sometimes it just really bothers me. My depression sometimes becomes too much and the therapist I'm seeing doesn't help much. I've been scratching my skin until it's irritated, but without breaking skin. I don't want it to become anything more and go through the problem again. How do I stop this and feel better? Or how to I tell the therapist I need more help?

Well if your therapist doesnt help, get a new one.
& if your depressed, arent you on medication? if your not you should get tested to be sure, because I know alot of people state that they are depressed when they HAVENT been diagnosed.
Anyways cutting is bad and wrong and horrible, you know that. Scratching yourself isnt as bad but its still not good, you need to learn self control and you have to try not to because otherwise you will not get anywhere. If your therapist doesnt help you or listen, then thats why you still have your problems.
Your not going to be problem free in the end, everyone has problems yeah. But try writing things out how you feel instead of hurting yourself because theres no point of hurting yourself.
