I don't know how to cope

[Lucy84]

I am really struggling to cope with my depression... it is becoming very severe and is worse the more therapy and memories I have...

I feel like I want to cry but wont let myself and cut instead....
but I am starting to have bad thoughts and I am scared..

Let yourself cry. With therapy for the past it often gets worse before it gets better but the only way it will get better is if you let it out and process it. Which means crying, screaming, creative outlets, art, music, writing, dance whatever it takes.

It's hard Hun but use the support of your therapist to get through this. X

Thank you for replying to me...

I am too scared to cry... I have never cried over what happened to me. I always used to get in trouble if I cry...

But now all I want to do is curl up in a ball and cry.
I cut instead.

I have depression and now been diagnosed with anxiety and PTSD..

Thank you for talking to me.... it means a lot. X

Don't hold back your emotions. Cry, scream if you want to, what would happen? Do you feel guilty for crying? Even adults cry so stay calm, you can cry if you have to. :)
I'm really sorry for what happened to you, but you must understand that past doesn't exist anymore. Try to live in the present and do positive things that cheer you up. What makes you happy?
