confused.
ok so i was talking with my counseller today and we came round to the idea that i dont have depression. it was just me putting a label on myself and using it as an excuse for my very faulty thought processes and general fucked up ness.
does that mean im not mentally ill or not??
cause my faulty thought processes and irrational thoughts, belifs and behaviours cause me to be depressed and suicidal and make me want to cut.
im confused.
is there a name or illness similar to what i have just described or is it me still wanting a label???

notyourmomsadvice you have no clue what this persons life is like so i would just stop judging. you think you know all about him/her when the truth is you are totally clueless.
i would seek some help from a doctor. i dont know who you are or why you are doing this, but a doctor can help with it all.

If there was a label to be attached the counselor would have done it. I think you are looking for a cop out reason to aviod dealing with behavior you know needs to change. Cutting is sometimes an attention process rather than an actual addiction to cutting itself. If you can stop cutting and only use it to show how "depressed" you are then it's an excuse and attention getter not an actual illness. Sounds to me like you need to see that your life isn't so bad compared to other's. Not saying you haven't had issues---we all have but there is always someone with worse that's happened to them.

You have been going through this for a while. It is very important that you seek help from a DOCTOR, as previously advised - so that they can take necessary measurements to treat this and provide medication for you,if needed.
Also, please try calling the hotline for help. especially claiming to have suicidal thoughts 1800 784 2433 or 1 800 273 8255. I am attaching a link for your review - they are capable of talking to you and providing you with the attention and help that you require, desire and need.

I do have feeling and mixed emotions because of what you have said, and previous questions asked, as well as time frames of those, but I am not going to go there, but your doctor can.
It isn't fun to want a label, and it isn't cool not to get this treated by a doctor AND a counselor either - especially if there is really are issues as mentioned. We aren't capable of providing advice regarding this because more than advice is needed - ACTION is needed!
Praying for you!

Unless your counselor is a doctor, I don't see how her or she could give you a diagnoses. Then again you said it was an "idea." Anyway, go see a doctor, they'll tell you what is wrong. You could be bi-polar, but I wouldn't know, I'm not a doctor.
