MDJunction to me

"In the 3 months I have been with MDJunction I have developed a sense of calmness. I now friends who do not judge me because I have been a mental mess at times. It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)

I am also a cutter. I couldnt hold out anymore and ended up doing it again today. I have made an appointment with my psychiatrist but cant get in untill the end of july. I did let them know it was rather urgent. At least now I dont feel the need to die anymore. It felt so good. I know that sounds totally wierd but I can controll it...it diesnt controll me. I am going to try my hardest not to do it again. Its not something I am proud of. And I hate the scars. But at least for now suicide is not on my mind and that is all that has been for the last few days.

I'm so sorry that things have gone this bad for you. I don't know much about cutting other than what I watched on a movie on life time. I understand it's suppose to make one feel a sense of release. I hope they can get you in soon.

I also wanted to let you know what I learned about Mehtadone. It usually doesn't take full effect until it has been in your system for 72 hours. I hope that it will start to help you.

Something else I have learned about Methadone is that doctors who are weary of writing out regular opiode pain meds usually write out Methadone. If it is not helping you might try to find another pain clinic.

Hi Roxy, I'm so sorry you're in this situation.

I used to cut when things were really bad and I didn't know how to deal with everything going on. I do understand the relief you get from it and how it feels better than what you're going through. Sometimes things get so overwhelming and we never learned the appropriate coping skills. I'm glad you're getting help, it is so important.

I haven't cut for many years. Between therapy and a 12 step program, Ive been able to stop and learn new copng skills. I'm here if you need to talk. You can pm me anytime! Is there anyone you can talk to at home, before you cut? If not, come here and talk to me!! It's better to get support before it happens.

I'm here for you! Your friend,Chris

Your Friend, Chris

I also practice self harm as a way of release, its hard for my family to understand that i do it to feel better not because i am attempting to kill myself. I have only done it once in the past month which is great for me and i attribute this to seeing a counselor every week. Do you see a counselor in addition to your psychiatrist. i recommend this because you will probably be able to see them on a more regular basis. Also there are a lot of crisis lines that you can call if you feel like cutting so that you have someone to talk to.

Redundant33 and foxyroxy1,I am sooo sorry that you this the only way you can find release. I understand that it is the only thing that works, and am glad to hear that you are getting help to learn other ways to release. If you need someone to talk to please feel free to PM me or come here to the boards any time. Hang in there darlins, there is hope and good in this life. Know that all your friends are here for you.
May the sun bring you new energies by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night ,
May the rain wash away any worries you may have,
And the breeze blow new strength into your being,
And then,all the days of your life,
May you walk gently through the world,and know it’s beauty and yours.

here is the bad thing, after I did it even though I still hurt like hell my demeanor has been alot better. I am not such a horrible person to be around. My mood has lifted a little. Granted its not alot but a little is better then nothing.
