depression help: Please help me. - Help.com

Please help me.

Today I was home alone, and I found a knife and started stabbing at myself.
I have no idea why I did this.
I’ve got depression, but I haven’t felt that bad lately, not to the point of wanting to hurt myself anyway.
I really, honestly scared myself, because I have absolutely no idea what happened to me.
Can anyone help?

Is there one thing weighing heavy on your mind lately ? Don’t you think you should seek the assistance of a counselor to sort your feelings of uncertainty out?

Not really.
There was for a while, but I’ve gotten over that now.
I do see a psychiatrist, but he’s on holidays so I haven’t seen him for 8 weeks.
I thought I’d be okay, but obviously not.

No.
I bled for a little bit, but then it was okay.
I didn’t stab that hard.
I do need psychiatric help, I have depression.
And I have no idea why I did it…that’s the whole point of this post.
I need help to find out why.

There’s nothing really depressing me at the moment.
I did have a few friend issues, but they’re all sorted out now.

well it might be something your not conscious of, is there anything traumatic that happened to you in the past that might have caused it? how long have you been depressed?

Hmmm…
Not really…I’ve got a *disability*/condition/whatever you want to call it but I’ve learnt to cope with that most of the time.
I was diagnosed two years ago.
I’d just come back from an overseas holiday with my family.
I was 14, happy, I guess…
Then everything just went crazy.

I’m pretty sure you have a suppressed the memory of whatever it was that caused your depression. These psychiatric problems dont come out of no where. My professor was a psychiatrist and he’s told us very similar stories.
he told us about one of his patients who was very depressed but didnt think anything had caused it. In one of their conversations the patient mentioned that his girlfriend had died a year ago but he didnt think thats what had caused it…turns out thats exactly what did it

I’m glad that you found this site, come around and vent a little here, talk or just chat. Hope to see you around & considering the depression & stabbing incident (let’s hope it stays at this one time, but then again strange urges have a tendencie to linger on and on in our (subconcious) minds) Wishing you a good day.
