Hey, you need to get help. Do you need help finding resources in your area? I will help you make those phone calls and find treatment in the form of counselling. You've been cutting long enough to know that this is a temporary solution and that you're using it to manipulate your emotional state.

Come on, you can do this.

Also, please look into borderline personality disorder. If you're treatment resistant, a lot of borderlines are misdiagnosed and a significant number don't respond to medication or find that it helps.

I'm sorry for why you need to DSH, but I totally read the title of this thread as prolapse!! On a more serious note, as an ex mental health nurse, there is NOTHING more annoying than patching up DSH wounds, knowing it's going to happen again and again. Of course, my professional face wouldn't show this, and I fully empathise and understand the reasons why people DSH. Unfortunately for the sufferers, part of some of the conditions they have make them not able to recognise the consequences of their behaviour on others. I in no way mean anything in this post to be derogatory in any way to anyone. :)

Fellow borderline here. I know how you feel x

Thanks for the support. I do have borderline personality disorder and I'm in D B T classes also along with my psychiatrist and psychologist. So I have all the help I need, I even had ketamine treatments. Next is ECT if I get worse but I do feel a little better today. I've never had stitches but I had to yesterday because my last cut was deep and gaped right on my wrist. Bad area. Stung like hell!

Thanks

Not many people left here that know anything about me, I suppose. I acquired this account from my older cousin, who I sometimes call an Auntie, because she helped raise me. Apparently, she wasn't very well received at this site, or something, so not too many people respond to my posts, and I'm more than anything, a lurker. But, this post hit home for me. Greatly.
I used to have a problem cutting, as a teen. I can't explain why I cut myself, specifically. Only that I needed some sort of release that nothing else - not even drugs - could give me. Funny, I seemed to have moved away from the cutting and into dermatillomania. I was diagnosed about two years ago. I find myself fearing that if I somehow move away from dermatillomania, that I'll fall back into cutting myself. My skin-picking has been getting much better and I don't feel the "cutter's" pressure building up inside of me like I used to in my teen years. I just hope it all goes away and I don't end up developing something else - especially if it worse!
I never quite know what to say to others cut from the same cloth. I feel as if I might say something that might work for me, but just may end up fucking someone else up.
I do meditate, a lot. That does help. But, to my mine, this being something that in very internal and psychological, I think that the only thing one can do would be to experiment with many different things. I used to get acupuncture. It seemed to help, combined with the meditation and yoga that I've taken up. I stopped acupuncture about five months ago and it's been fine. I did it for like two years, one to two times a week - depending on how stressful the week was. Look into this, because it really surprised me about just how much of a release I gained from the acupuncture! It was relaxing!!

I pick sores a lot, especially on my scalp, as a way of relieving anxiety. I find that knitting or wire wrapping jewelry is the best way to keep from picking. Unfortunately, my son developed the same thing and has bad scars all over from it. I can't help but wonder if he learned by watching me or if it is something he developed on his own.

I'm a manic depressive with psychosis.

I am shortly planning to film myself in a novel new way and hopefully uploading it onto here. Please bump it up.
