I truly understand what you mean from wanting that freedom from the pills. Its like feeling somewhat alive, somewhat happy. |

My sleeping is also all over the place from insomnia but I can live with it. And it's not uncommon to feel trapped at home, I know I feel it |

I see. Well do be careful because going off them might start out well but then could drastically change for the worse. I've had that happen  It's been three weeks so far and I think I'm as stable as I get. I will call my doctor if depression starts taking over. It will, at one point or another but I'm cherishing this freedom for now. |

Im glad to hear she's doing better. Is being off your antidepressants a good thing, bad, or to early to tell? I hope things get better for u Too early to tell. I think I've been fairly stable off them. My sleep is all over the place but I've had insomnia for so many years that I think that's just my normal state of being. This has been a decent month so far, no crisis, and home has been as stable as it will be. Though sometimes I feel trapped. |

Hi. I would like to talk to someone but don't want to call the suicide hotline. Do you know if there is a similar online chat site? I know there's http://www.projecttoe.com/ for support with self-injury and 'feeling low'. That's the newest one that's come to my attention but I've never used it. |

Gabrielle You can stop if you truly
3 years () (Permalink)You can stop if you truly want to stop or no longer need it in your life anymore. It's easier to stop with help and/or treatment. Stopping is doable. There's no recovery from some mental illnesses but there definitely can be recovery from self-injury. There's an active message board here, if you want to sign up click 'Forum'. Or there's links to other message boards under the 'Links' section if you prefer someplace else.
If you want to stop and your home life will allow for it (meaning no abusive family/significant others) I'd say seeking help from family/friends is worth a shot. Yes, there very well may be repercussions but without outside help stopping is very difficult if you feel you need self-injury.

If your parents do not know and you do not wish to tell them or if they're being squabbly about the divorce instead of paying attention to how it is affecting you then it might do some good to have a supportive circle of friends or trusted adults who you can turn to when you feel like self-injuring.
For the short term there are always lists of distractions ( http://self-injury.net/information-recovery/recovery/distractions ) though how well they hold up under pressure is entirely up to you and your commitment (or lack of) to not self-injuring.

cutting/masochism
3 years () (Permalink)I'm curious about what you said in one of your posts about people just thinking you're masochistic. because i think i'm fairly masochistic and definitely submissive sexually, but my cutting definitely doesn't give me any sexual pleasure--it's totally different. but it worries me that maybe there is a connection. i'm not comfortable with either one. And there's this movie, the secretary, where the girl cuts herself and then she gets in a s&m relationship and stops. i don't know.

3 years () (Permalink)I don't recall when I said that but I think that a number of people feel there is a connection between the two (especially after Secretary) when in reality self-injury can't define what turns one on. I've personally never felt sexual pleasure from self-injury and have heard many others say the same thing, even if they are into things that appear superficially similar like bloodplay, etc.

I live with my family, so i cant cut a lot.

3 years () (Permalink)do not cut yourself. my friend does because her life is messed up and there is nothing i can do to help her. its the worst feeling ever when you don't know what she is diong when ur not with her. every day i think about it and it is making me depresed as well. spare your friends and family and please do not.
I like the jittery feeling of a night without sleep. Especially if I've forgotten medication. Then I can't stop talking, I shake. It's the closest to happy I'll get. I think. It's a good trade-down from self-injury.
