Close Self-Injury

I've been cutting for about a year. I started last spring, I was extremely depressed, extremely close to suicide at times. I managed to finally start feeling better last fall, but depressions been coming back and I've been wanting to cut more. I've really needed a place to vent, or just talk. It's tough cause I've never told anyone before but being on here just lurking as helped alot already.

Treatments

Physical Exercise Somewhat Helpful

sometimes, it varies but at the right time is reallly good.

Red Marker Working / Worked

Sometimes, i generally use purple or black though. Sometimes pen as well. Problem is I can get addicted to it too. so I don't do it alot.

Talking Working / Worked

I've beeing doing more of it and it helps alot even though it's just talking to people on here. not in real life yet. It's been helpful in some many ways that I never expected.

Writing Working / Worked

extremely helpful. Typing makes my hands do something and that helps so much

Close Anxiety

Treatments

Breathing Exercises Working / Worked

usually very helpful. I've been doing them for awhile and I know find they are a sub conscious habit that kicks in during a panic attakc.

Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful

depends on how I'm feeling. I have to remind myself that beating myself up doesn't solve anything.
