Hi

Hi. My name is Kate. I'm 28 and have been mostly free from self harm for several years but have slipped up recently due to some high stress and no one believing me about my health issues which has made my already bad depression a bit worse. Anyone have any advice on how to cope with the urge sometimes? Somedays I am so depressed I don't want to do my master's homework or go into work.

Hi Kate. Sorry to hear you've slipped up lately. What helped you to stop in the past?

I totally understand depression affecting motivation to do things. Not sure what the answer is unfortunately. Maybe if you post in the support forums then more people are likely to see it and offer some advice.

Welcome to the forums. =)
