i have depression and i cant help hurting myself when im sad or mad. what should i do?

Question

i want to kill myself , but i choose not to cause of some of my friends and my mom and my sister.
having depression seems to be one of the most difficult problems that i seem to have to deal with in my life everyday for the past couple of years.
depression makes me feel different and makes me feel helpless. when my ex. boyfriend gets mad at me then i get really upset and then start to hurt myself. when my family gets me angry, i also hurt myself. certain people dont understand how it feels after i hurt myself. hurting myself is like a drug to me...i just cant stop its too addicting. i feel like im nothing and hurting myself seems to help me stay alive instead of fully killing myself all the way.

Answer 1

Go to a doctor and get some anti-depressants...then go talk to a psychologist....dont kill yourself..your life is worth so much more than some jerk...if you continue to live you can meet someone that will make you happier and that you can have a great life with..just because someone gets mad at you doesnt mean you hurt yourself...just learn from it and move on...what doesnt kill you makes you better...guys come and go, and so do friends...but you only have one life, thats irreplaceable..live it to the fullest...your soul will probably regret it if you dont..but just talk to someone...and seek professional help. There are many ways to get past this...good luck, and God bless

Hi, I was in a deep depression last year about this time. Everyone says to go see a doctor, but as you and I know that can be hard to do. You don't need someone else to tell you whats wrong with you. What worked for me is getting focused. Focused on the things that mean something to YOU in life. Wheather it be a job, school, hobby, friends, family, etc.... Focuse on the things that make you feel better about yourself. When you get angry like you say, try to focus that energy on doing something positive, instead of hurting yourself. But whatever you do, DO NOT KILL YOURSELF. Believe me, better days will come it just takes time. And I may be contradicting myself, but if ever you feel like you are absolutely going to kill yourself, I mean without a doubt, go see a doctor there are drugs that can help with the depression.

Honey, I have been where you are. First of all, I have suffered from depression for about 10-15 years and I don't know why. I have a good life, a good family, a good job. I have NO reason NOT to be happy, but there is this constant sadness and darkness that lurks within me. I have been on almost every medication that there is, and it takes the edge off a little bit, but the sadness is still there. I have sought counseling and it did help, That would be my best advice to you, sweetie. You need to find someone that you can talk to and someone who can get to the root of your problem. If you get a handle on it now, you will learn how to live with it. As far as suicide, that is a selfish easy way out!!!!!! You are stronget than you think and you deserve so much better for yourself. They also have 24 hour hot lines, please do something and if all else fails, feel free to contact me @ anytime. I have been in your shoes and still am, but I stopped with the self mutilation about 12 years ago. My email address is [e-mail]
Hang in there sweetie, it WILL get better, I PROMISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please get some help. You have punished yourself enough. Time to get your self love back because, you are in this world once and you need to live it to the best
Get to a doctor. Your brain chemistry is probably off and also you must have some huge hurt in the past that needs to be delt with.

If you keep saying that you are troubled and hopeless you will be.
If you work on positive energy you will grow into a happy young woman. You have more choices in your life than you realize.

Take yoga, Volenteer at a hospital.......get outside of your self and when you give to others you will find more peace and happiness.

Your X bf is just that X. When you let him upset you , you are giving him power. Don't let him destroy you. You are worth a better guy.

Answer 5

that's a good thing that you care very much about your family. at the very least there's a hope there that you won't kill yoursef because of them. but surely since you can't help hurting yourself and other people in your family appears helpless for you either, then i think it's time for you to go for professional help-an intervention to help you steer away from the depression. there's a big hope that you will be cured, like any illnesses, depression can be cured if you take it seriously that you need some clinical help. do so now.

Answer 10

i have gone through the same things in my life and i was a cutter, i have the scars and burn marks to prove it, and i have to explain to my kids all the time what the scars on my arm are from, it is not a very pleasant moment for me, i still have depression, and sometimes i tend to do the same things to myself as i did in my past, you need to get on medication, and try to transform your pain in a different way, through art(it helped me)draw,paint,sculpt,write poems, keep a journal, just find something to reflect your pain on besides yourself,
