I am really trying to fight the urge to cut right now...it seems like my depression gets really bad at night but I can't ever sleep. I am so scared & nervous because I keep telling myself that I am going to go to a counselor tomorrow, but the thought of it is making me sick. I have a migraine, I am shaking & nausea...Sorry I just needed to get this out...I don't want to cut anymore, I just don't know what to do.

Do this instead: drink a tall glass of water really fast. Then, take 5 really slow, deep breathes. Feeling better? Good, now take a long walk outside (if its safe). Just far enough to get your heart going. Then come back and write down everything you're feeling in your DS Journal. Please try one or all of these things and keep talking. I'm here.

(big hugs) I hear you. I get migraines too. Take a few Excedrin, maybe an OTC sleeping med and try to sleep it off. Take some big deep breaths to try to calm down. I'm here for you if you ever want to talk.

Here is a website to get you started.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
