[singeramber]

(8) two months away from you, but I couldn't tell. I thought that everything was gonna be just fine (8)

These were my position about 5 weeks ago and now it just goes down hill...
I cant stop I have 4 people helping me but I keep doing it more. I have an appointment to see a physciatrist in 2 weeks... Problem is I have seen her before and she didnt help at all, wondering if I can skip it and try to do this again, I've done it once it shouldnt be that hard right???

Quitting SH is a difficult thing to do, but with the support from your friends and family should help. It's hard to resist the urge, but try and distract yourself. Ex: go outside, read, listen to music, write in a diary. If you need to talk feel free to PM me or post a visiter message on my page. <3

I just wanted to comment on the psychiatrist bit. The first time I went to see a psychiatrist she told me I didn't have depression, gave me some vitamin to help me sleep, and sent me on my way. Then I started cutting, so my mom took me back. That time she told me I did have depression, and that she was wrong before. So my point is that you never know what could happen.

Also, you have to try your best to help yourself. If she offers going to therapy, take the opportunity. You have to be willing to take her advice and follow through with the plan she sets up for you. I only say that because I wasn't compliant for a long time.

As for the cutting, I think it's something you honestly need to talk to someone about. I didn't get over cutting until I spoke up and told someone how I was feeling and what I was doing. It's good to have that support there, someone you can talk to instead of immediately feeling the urge to cut.

I would bring up the self harm to the psychiatrist when you see her. The first time I went to see one I lied and said I never cut myself, and I wish I never would have. It's what helped her to decide I had depression and I could have prevented some things that happened even sooner than I did if I had been honest.

So try your best to tell the truth, and just be hopeful. Things might really turn out for you. :)

Like I said to you Amber, you have to go in with an open mind. If you let her help you, she will. Things shouldn't be this hard, you're right. But sometimes, they are, and all we can do is carry on, and break through it. KBO.

Like the others have said, quitting self harm is never going to be easy, you have alot of support and peole to help you, which is really good.
And stay open minded about the psychiatrist, just becuase it didnt work the first time, it doesnt mean it wont this time.
But you need to help her to help you too, if you get what I mean, be as honest as you can with her, I hope everything goes alright
