I'm super depressed and I just started cutting myself. I don't understand why I did it, as I know it's a silly thing to do, but it felt good. Why? What the hell is going on with me? *cries*

The way i have heard it, cutting yourself when you are sad is a way of focusing the mental pain into a physical pain, which in turn makes dealing with it simpler in the short term. the sadness goes away for a while.. then it comes back.
this is an unhealthy way. you should talk to someone about getting help for your depression. |

I agree with tweety here with talking to someone about your depression.

I'll go along with everyone on this... seek some help. Even the act of seeking help can be beneficial.

| I used to do that, too. I felt like it was a good way to punish myself for not meeting everyone's expectations. Now, I just hit myself with something really hard, in the thigh, where no one will see it. It makes me feel better, too. As for getting help, like other people say, I really don't have the resources. But I know exactly how you feel. |
