First if it matters any I do have PTSD... maybe bi-polar and Im looking into that soon. But for last 2 months Im gonna say I dont even feel like myself, sound like myself or anything... Ive gotten into cutting and I finally stopped and slipped. But really Ive asked friends and they say it sounds like anxiety and for me to relax but I cant and things are pushing me to the edge 99% of the time with the depression. I really wanna feel like myself... No one has helped me I cant find anything to help me but if anyone has anything that may help Id really appreciative it.

Well I don't know if this will help you, but I am bipolar, and when I am in what i suppose you would call a depressive episode, it usually lasts a few months and that is when I get back into cutting and don't feel like myself at all, basically as you have described. However, these are also symptoms of depression and anxiety and a myriad of other things, so I would definitely talk to someone about how you have been feeling. For me, I try to do things that I was interested in before the depressive episode even if I don't feel like it. Set time aside for yourself and try and alleviate the stress you are feeling in a safe way if you can. You will feel like yourself again, once you work through what is going on. Definitely talk to someone though, I feel like that is the most effective thing you can do at the moment because it will help you sort out what is going on I think. Hang in there :)

A prescribed dose of Lorien (http://home.intekom.com/pharm/lennon/lorien.html) should sort you out and stabilize your negative emotions (sorted me out pretty well). Speak to your doctor about what dosage is right for you though.
