ok...I have a very serious question, so please be kind with you answers. In the last 6 months I have noticed a change in me. I started getting a little depressed for no reason, It was almost as if one day I woke up and something changed in me. I started cutting but not to often. It would happen only when something upset me or when things just got to stressful. Sometimes I would cut everyday and sometimes I wouldnt even think about it for months. After a while everything seemed fine, I was happy (the only thing I noticed was instead of being really depressed I became very sensitive to what people said to me.. if someone would tess me I would take it personaly which is not how I usually am) I am use to being sarcatic and having people be the same way back to me. Now I notice that I am very irritable. I know that this is probably because I have alot going on right now, but I have dealed with worse. I am just very testy now (but not violent) What do you think could be wrong with me???

Hi lovegirl2, First, please understand that no one should diagnose anybody for anything, other than a professional. I was at a weird point in my life tool. when things changed drastically. I was really tired of being depressed and I guess I really wanted to move forward. After going through a few counselors and therapists, I finally found a Therapist I felt comfortable with. For about 2 months, I got to see someone twice a week for an hour and eventually my appointments were 1 hour once a week. We developed some kind of 'friendship'. I unloaded all my problems to one person who helped me untangle so many million things I had on my mind. He let me work at my pace and make my own decisions. I saw him for around 7 years. It's been 8 months since I saw him last and I feel great - once in a while I still get depressed but it's not like it was before. I can organize my thoughts and I think clearer. I've actually met a few nice people and have a best friend that I can talk to about my problems and I'm there for her when she's got stuff going on.
Give it a chance honey, find a Therapist to help you move forward so that you can enjoy life too!! It's there for all of us, you just need to 'grab it'. Things will get better if you let it!!

First, you need a physical. Your moods may be because of something wrong in your body. Like, depression might be from having low thyroid levels, which is easy to fix and not expensive.
Cutting usually means you're having a hard time feeling, so you cut yourself to increase seratonin in your brain. A pill a day instead can do that for you. Counseling would also help A LOT! Don't put it off, get help now. This has already been going on too long.

im not a dr so a tiny bit it sounds like bipolar.if you find you need less sleep,you have racing thoughts,you feel like you need to talk,
doing risky behaviors(stealing,drugs,sex)thats mania.being
grouchy is a a behavior that goes with mania.regardless cutting
means you need some professional help.talk to someone your comfortable with and it should probably be an adult.if you dont
have any one your school guidence conselor is a good place to
start.your not weak asking for help.admitting you need help is
a sign that you see something that needs help.asking for help is hard but worth the trouble.its always easy to leave things the way they are.hve a good christmas
