Cutting

Hey. im new here. but i figured that i should at least try i guess. I just got put on meds, but i refuse to take them because i feel like it's fake happiness, and that isnt what i want. i cut, and i starve myself. i want to be truly happy, not controlled by the drugs.

Ur brain chemistry maybe wrong. Meds just correct it. Its not fake happiness, it just like taking a thyiod medicine if u have underactive thyriod.

Its its a indiividuals choice. Ul need therapy for sure if ur not wanting to use meds at all.

I wish u luck.

I take meds and get true happiness now. Not all the time i still struggle some days but they really do help. I have a chemical imbalance and like Aspie said its like taking meds for thyroid or other issues. If you have an imbalance the meds help you be normal. Or what people think is normal. Thanks to meds and therapy i am 25 months cut and burn free. It helps a lot but i do both. DBT Therapy helps me a lot with the self harm. I cut for 12 years when i stopped doing it pretty much daily sometimes more than once a day. I stopped when i got admitted and got put on meds that helped me. Started therapy up after that.

Isn't that interesting.As insect diversity plummets, AI ocntinues to rattle our cages, and more, here's some positive news for you:Green spaces in cities like London and Barcelona are not only lowering heat island effects but lowering *breathing difficulties in children*. That's right. More trees, less awful. :-)What's really fascinating about this is that it's so...
