It seems I try and numb myself out then I think I am getting better. Then I go to my social worker and psychiatrist and I realize I really am not happy. Later on in the day I will think oh well maybe some of it is in my head and then I look down at my leg and see all the cuts. Its all my pain and it hasnt gone away no matter how hard i try not to feel. In trying to hold it all in i dont want to hang out with anyone for fear of saying something about it. The weekends are the hardest because I dont have school or work to go to. I feel like they are loose days wasted on trying to figure out what to do with all this pain. I dont know what is bad or just a little depression anymore. So in a way I dont know what kind of help to ask for. This depression or mixed state wont let me go. Im at a level where I feel like Im anxiously waiting to see my docs so much that Id rather sleep till my next appt just so i can say how i am feeling. What can I do?

o write down your thoughts in a journal to share with your therapist
o sounds like you are trying to feel numb, not anything else. Pain is good, as it is an indicator of something wrong so it can be corrected.
o Try to find something to do. A hobby or something to focus on, so your not focusing on yourself.

It always helps to be around other people. Don't you feel better just being on the computer and knowing that a real live person will reply? Call a friend get out if just to see a movie. The reason you feel better after talking with your Therapist and Dr. is because you spoken with some one. The weekends are always the hardest. Try to learn to trust enough to get involved with friends again. This Will truly help.

maybe try picking up a new hobby, something to keep you busy and something you are interested in. i have this same problem. i do force myself to go out on some weekends, and it feels great when i can. i tell my friends about the cutting though and depression, cause if there my friends they will understand, if they wish to call me names then i know to leave them alone cause there not my friends. alot of people have mental illnesses, its not made up or fake. these are real problems that real people have. all my friends seemed to take it very well and give me lots of support. you have to figure everyone has an opinion, and even if its not the same as yours its ok, cause thats peoples rights, but you will have to learn to do is not associtate yourself those those types of people that arent going to be supportive or there for you. good luck, its a long hard road, just stay with it!
