Am I depressed or not

[baby_girl1]

Ok Im new here and wanted some advice...I cut myself quite a few times but I dont know if Im doing it because Im depressed or I just want attention...I do like pain so that might be another reason for doing it but I really dont know and Im afraid I might go to far next time and end up hurting myself....

perhaps you are depressed..cause i can't fathom someone cutting just for the sake of doing so..cutting is serious stuff and not meant to be taken lightly..i hope that if your reason ends up being that you want attention, you stop and get your head on straight, because it's life threatening stuff that as i said before, should not be taken lightly...

Maybe, maybe not. go see a therapist I would say. they'll tell you.. about attention seeking, do you go out of your way to to show people that you've cut? if yes, it probably is attention seeking. Pm me if you want to chat about it, or anything.

If you have to ask others if your depressed, that should tell you something. When you are THAT depressed, to the point of cutting yourself to relief yourself of pain..you would know. I think you just enjoy pain and you feel rebellious doing such a taboo action--as cutting yourself. When I was 13, I did the same thing.
