You're right. Telling you to see a doc is useless unless you want to get better first.
Drinking, doing drugs and cutting is maladaptive behavior; an unhealthy way to deal with stressful experiences.
I know it is hard. You feel like there is nothing that can help you. There is nothing that people can do unless you let them. These are signs that you need to LET people help you. You CAN'T do this alone.
To get started here are some things that you can do if you're serious about stopping:
1. Tell a trusted adult about these feelings. Tell them that you cut, drink, and do drugs.
2. Stop hanging out with your friend. She will just tempt you and enable your behavior. It's sad to be away from your friend, but you both need help. It is in your best interest to stay apart until you're BOTH better.
3. Stick with therapy, try a different therapist if they don't match your style. Try a different therapy method (Cognitive behavior therapy vs. psychotherapy)
4. Let people love you and care for you.
5. Keep trying. If it doesn't work out perfectly the first time, it may be the program. There is nothing good about what you're doing right now and it's worth trying for. You're fighting for your life.

I know that cutting may take away the pain or give you a release, but this is only temporary. Don't you want the pain to be gone for good??? That is the reason you keep doing it, because cutting is NOT the answer to your problem. Also, if you can't stop for yourself, think about the worry and stress that your parents are experiencing. They may not show it or act like it (I don't know your situation), but BELIEVE me, when any member of your family is being destructive that is emotionally and physically painful. I bet if your parents were to be tested right now, there stress level and heart rates are up. Your family loves you and wants you around for a long while. Won't you please ask for some long term help and get your life under control. You will be so glad that you did. Your life and your body are gifts and the fact that you don't see that is a major cry for help.

OK I wont tell you to talk to another doc. cause you already know that. I have spent a lot of time with kids that cut and do drugs and the first step is to stop doing drugs. THEN LET SOMEONE HELP YOU. The behavioral health center is the first step, but you already know this. If you don't learn to deal with this can you imagine ten years from now. Sorry for my opinion but you ask. Good Luck and remember it starts with you.

Well, Kallie, I'm not sure what it is that you're asking. If you don't want us to tell you to get help, what would you like us to tell you?
That what you're doing is okay and that you're not going to kill yourself by OD'iing or cutting yourself? It's not okay. There is obviously some reason why you're doing what you're doing and I know it's not what you want to hear, but the only people who can help you are professionals...people who are qualified to help you.
Honey, I wish I could make this go away..make you stop doing this to yourself, but the truth is..YOU are the only one who can do that. You're reasons for cutting yourself are deep. Deeper than I could imagine, you must be hurting so much on the inside to be doing this on the outside.
You are telling yourself that you can't do it. Try...just for a minute. Stop and think before you do it..."i'm gonna NOT do this, just for now...just for this minute." and then do something else. Go for a walk, call your friends who DON"T cut, and when you get the urge do it again, tell yourself again, " I'm not going to do this, just for this minute" and then do whatever it was that you did to NOT do it, again.
Because you don't want to hear, "Go talk to someone who can help you", this is the only advise I can give you. Maybe there's someone who can give you more.
Maybe you won't be here long enough to listen to someone's advise....maybe you won't even be here to get THIS message, I just hope to God that you are.
You're not doing yourself any favors by not helping yourself.
I hope you get the help you need, Sweetie. Life is far too short for you to be doing this to yourself. You need to love yourself enough...to give yourself the chance to know or to remember what it feels like to NOT do this to yourself.
I hope this helps.
:o)

You have unhealed hurts deep inside. You must face them, forgive yourself and others, and grieve your losses.
Many times when we get stuck like you are stuck, we need to grieve what should have been, but wasn't. Hope this helps. Best of luck.
