Old habits die hard
 

I Can barely sit up to write this. My hip is flaming in pain, but i have no one to blame but myself. I find it ironic that for me to feel better, i have to make myself feel so much worse in the after math. I am 26 years old and as i rapidly make my way through the more serious stages of adulthood I find this entire situation getting harder and harder to deal with. It is near impossible to find support for adults suffering through this. I have been dealing with being a cutter off and on for the past 10 years. I have been on medication that didn't seem to work, which of course made me want to stop taking them, which I eventually did. Talking to a pysc isnt something I have given much thought to, even though I know that it may help, i have a feeling that all it will do is drain my bank account . I really dont mean to sound so negative, it's just within the last week I have found nothing to be positive about. With my mood dwindling down, I am finding myself fading quickly, and for the first time since i was 15, i am scared. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hey,

Sorry you're struggling so much right now.

I think perhaps discussing with a psychiatrist about how you're feeling might help - they may be able to refer you to counselling or therapy which might change things for you.

A lot of people find that medication isn't the way forward for them, but talking therapies or therapy such as DBT/CBT helps. It's worth a try. However, it's also worth discussing the medication you were on with them, as sometimes the first isn't the right one. It took a while for my doctor to find a medication that helped me.

Take care, and keep talking to us if it helps.
