I am manic depressive. I have been on many many many many many many many (get the point) meds. Before I was settled on these meds I was very VERY suicidle at times and have the scars to prove it. I have been in the hospital 3 times also and needed to be in them. I also came up from my lows (when non medicated) and thought oh I am allllll better now. Well it would always happen again. It will for you too. Please don't think I am trying to bring you down. All I am saying is that you need to see a doc and tell them what you are feeling. Something needs to be done ie. increase yur already meds, put you on meds, ect. I say that cause my ex friend (sis's still best friend) was also manic who cut too. That is major sign of manic/ bi-polar (they are the same thing). Get some help like now!!! Because I was where you are at now not to long ago..... and I was on the verge of doing it. Actually I was so close I am kinda proud of myself that I am still here. I am pulling for you

Peri/Lora, i'm in nelson county.

ginna74, you should be proud you are still here. everyone else who has posted about the same type of problem(s) should be too. i've been thinking about getting an actual diagnosis for a while, i think after yesterday i will. maybe it will help figure something out. thanks for replying.

My bestfriend killed herself when she was 17. She had it planned out for a long time from what I've learned. She never really got to live her life and I've had to suffer living mine without her. Try this site for help, they had a prevention program at her school in her memory.

Go to a doctor and get a diagnosis. Then get some meds and get into therapy. Cutting starts off as a release from the pain inside but it can also become a habit, just like eating is for some people, to deal with stress. Stop before it becomes a habit. There are meds out there that will help and therapy will as well. I know that it isn't easy but what you are dealing with is a chemical imbalance that makes you feel and act this way and it can be corrected. It takes alot of time and courage but you can get past this if you want.
