teen cutting herself, going into rages and abusing alcohol: cutting...yes

» squirrels_dance - cutting...yes

Hey everyone, I read some of these stories and I must say that they are quite impressive! You guys are all so brave and i admire you greatly for coming out to the world and telling those who you care for and vice versa. I've been cutting on and off for a few months as well. I've been very depressed and on numerous occasions, I have come very close to putting an end to my life. I finally told my mom that I was depressed, but she never really knew how bad it was until after a couple weeks of therapy. I have many scars. No one knows that I cut except my best friend. She cuts as well and when she slept over, she saw it on my arm when I was changing my shirt. I tried to make up a lie, but she knew where it came from. I have yet to tell my parents, but I but very rarely. Maybe once a month. My mom finally got me on Prozac. 10 milligrams was ok, but I was still quite depressed, so my medication has been moved up to 20 milligrams, and I am doing much better. My best friend has been helping me through and I have decided that once I have stopped once and for all, I will confess to my parents. Often times it makes me feel guilty. I have befriended many cutters and we have become great friends as we help one another with our problems. I hope all of you will get better. I wish you all the best of luck!
