I used to cut my self, its been about 7 months since I last cut, I take medication and see a counciller. I'm starting to see a physcologist as well. But over the past few days I been feeling really bad, and thinking about cutting again. I think this is because I missed 2 days of medication cause I ran out. Does any body has this effect if you miss any medication (well thats if any one else is on prozac).
But feeling different when I'm not on medication makes me feel like I shouldn't be taking this medication as its not allowing me to be myself. For me cutting isn't a problem really, if I need to cut I will, but the problem is what leads me to want to cut. I just feel pretty shitty and some times think about suicide. I don't feel like i can talk to my girl friend about it and shes the only person I userally talk to about this stuff, but I'm just feeling a bit wierd about her at the moment, things aren't going to well at the moment. Councilling doesn't really help me much, and so the only thing I have is this medication, but like i say I don't really want to take it any more.
Maybe this phycologist can help me.

I suppose in a way I'm writting this to find other people who are going through what I'm going through, other people to talk to.

Any way let me know what you think.
Cheers

hmm,you could have wrote this in the already started thread ..

but anyways,ive cut,still do,dont have meds or anything though*shrugs*dont see anyone for it..
meh

I hate that medication and that feeling of never being myself.I`m off of all of it now, only people that ever thought it helped me where the people that had to put up with me and prozac was the one that made harder to deal with.

I think that anti-depressents and stuff like that are a no-go zone for me. I dont think that anyone should take them really because I dunno , I just think that any drug that your body can become depnedant on is badfor your own health *shrugs* but if it helps you get along do what ya gotta do.

if you cut maybe it will make you feel better
taking antidepressants is like playing chemist with the chemicals in your brain.. also, you will probably go through withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking your meds.

i took meds but i felt different and i felt that it changed who i was overall. in the morning i was all hyper, then i fell asleep later in the early afternoon. it just didnt help at all. all the meds made me was more depressed and withdrawn. my councellor really helped me. after seeing her for about a year i started making progress and felt more happy more often. i also have trust issues so i had to wait for a while before i really connected with her.

i went to a psychologist also and i didnt like him at all. all he did was i walked in and sat down. he asked me about 5 questions then gave me meds. i found more comfort in talking to someone everyday than being drugged up all the time. i felt alot better and more ready to deal with things AFTER i stopped taking meds.

but thats just me. that might not be right for you...

ive been doing this for two years.Im at it again,i stopped for a wile.but ,um...i belive medication is stupid.i dont believe some stupid pills can really change someones life around.plus i would never have to be on med's.Im just fine.u should take UR meds everyday if they help u not cut.cuz cutting REAL addictive.i know this...or maybe try talking to someone.it never worked for me,but thats just me.bye bye.

selfmutilation-hurting yourself intentionally,especially with a shiny object.=) =) =) =)

You do realize that it takes medications weeks to get regulated into your blood stream right? I fought taking mine for a long time, and i'd skip pills, spit them out, flush them ect and I'd always end up either cutting or drinking. Staying on your meds(once of course you find the right ones)is a good thing. It took me a while to feel like myself again because i was used to always being depressed,manic or sucidal. And by the way for the people who basically just advised you to cut, why don't you come here to Mi and look at my arms. They are so scarred and disgusting that people gasp when they look at them-it isn't something you want.

wow someone worse than me.but yet i havnt stopped.just began,again.=)lovely.
