Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I've never cut and I've never had the desire to hurt myself. That is until this last week or two. I've been fighting this urge to cut myself. I was thinking I would cut my thigh because there is a smaller chance of anyone finding out. I don't know much about cutting, but is it true that it makes you forget about the other "pain" in your life? I guess there is always getting drunk, but you can't really hide that from people either. I can't see my doctor until Monday for depression and it will be probably a good month before I can start meds or counseling...

please don't start cutting, like anything else, it is hard to stop. you go for week without it and then start up again. if anyone finds out you feel ashamed and they are angry and confused. There are other things to do. wear a rubber band on your wrist and snap it. write on your leg in red when you feel like cutting slamm your fist into a pillow. please don't start cutting.

It doesn't really matter where you cut. You will still know where they are. The scars you will creat are NOT badges of honour. You will feel shame and feel embarressed. Don't start this.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
