Ocd + Cutting?

Question

I have OCD, but don't take meds for it.....my family doesnt really believe in that. Recently, I have started cutting. Not my wrists, but my ankles. This is because i found a huge vein thing in my ankle, and i barely wear a jacket. I just did about 30 mins ago....I was wondering how to stop myself without professional help...like getting the rubber band thing?

Answer 1

I really think you should get professional help before something major happens. And your family doesn't have to believe in it for you to take the medication. It is going to be the only thing tha tis going to make you feel better and to keep you from cutting yourself.

Answer 2

If you have not been able to stop on your own already, you WILL NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP. If you need meds, take them. You are who you are, and that's OK. But if you need help, ASK for it. If you do not feel able to talk to your parents, ASK SOMEONE else...or print this out and show them. Ask them what this person should do, then say "It's me". People cannot help you unless and until you let them know you NEED HELP. Mind reading is not standard equipment in this life...so don't wait any longer.

Answer 3

Just stop put yourself into something constructive everytime you feel the erge. Or you may need some help. Don't hesitate to talk to someone or read up on the subject. Help is there for you:-)

Answer 4

No, you need to contact a doctor. It doesn't matter if your family believes or not, this is a disorder and you need counseling. Get help now!

Answer 5

Answer 6

Please get professional help. Don't hurt yourself anymore.
