I use to be a cutter..... I use to cut places that no one could see.... There is something about the physical pain that seems to numb the emotional pain....
What I recommend you do sweety is call your local psychologist or counselor.... it will help you to talk with someone...
e-mail me if you need someone to talk to.

You need to talk to someone about your depression. Cutting your legs is bad, but not the worst thing you could do. Talk to a doctor before things get out of hand.

clean the cuts properly-to make sure that it doesn't get infected. Although most of us feel depressed at some point or another, we need to adopt positive mechanisms to deal with our frustrations, anxieties aswell as depressive symptoms.you should speak to someone about this.the ideal would be to see a counselor to help you deal with these feelings and help you find ways in dealing with them.confidentiallity is guaranteed!!!you should find out of places in your community that offer free services if you are not willing to pay.dont be scared to ask for help (although it might be really difficult), it would make you feel much better!

Seek immediate clinical help. It might not be easy to do, but you can be doing your body serious damage and you've already displayed a pattern of repeat cutting. Don't expect this problem to get better on its own.
Surround yourself with trustworthy friends. Being with others helps feel wanted and appreciated, but you should seek professional counsel.

hmm I used to be a cutter... but after recognizing what great friends I really have and understanding my dad better... I stopped.... you need to find that really good friend, in my case I have 8... who will go to the ends of the world for you.... it really helps

Please make an appt to talk to your doctor about this depression. They can check to see if something like a hormone imbalance is what is causing this depression to occur.
