I am feeling so depressed and alone right now. I am trying so hard not to start cutting again. I don't know what to do anymore.

Hey Charity, please don't give up. I understand the need to do self harm. The physical pain blocks out the mental pain for a bit.

My suggestion is to work out. Start doing pushups, situps, jumping rope, running, etc and work out to exhaustion. That'll take a bit of the edge off of your desire to hurt yourself.

Good luck.

I went and saw my M.D. today and he is sending me for a CT on Friday and I am going to see my Pdoc tomorrow. Hopefully we will figure out what is going on with me.

The good news is that you are not alone and you do not need to cut in order to feel something. Depression is temporary and you will gain foothold on bedrock soon enough. Be well and Cheers.
