When is it enought?
I’m not sure what the deal is lately. Everything was going so much better. I was feelin happier with my life and actually thought things were going to change. Then I had to get off my medication (financial reasons) and now everything is in the crappers again. I haven’t been self harming in a while but the past week and half has been awful. I can’t get it out of my head and keep having these really werid urges to just cut so deep that it won’t ever stop! It freaks me out yet kinda puts my mind to ease. Its like I can’t help the thoughts and wouldn’t know when to stop or even if I would want to.

i agree with wasabi! try and find a hobby! join some kind of club or something! be around people more! also *apparently* fresh air is good for depressin… im not docor so i dont know how true that is but its worth a try! maybe you could go for walks every day? walk your dog or something! just get out!
you need to find someone in real life that you can rely on…. that will listen to your problems and help you… maybe guide you along the way and pick you up when you’ve fallen. thast another thing to remember… when you’ve fallen you can still get back up. its not the end!! so when you’re feeling down… even if it feels like life is at its worst, remember you can still turn it around!!

Are there any generic versions of the medication you were taking? I know it sounds a bit lame, but if there is a generic that can help, Wal-Mart (the evil giant) will sell a month’s Rx for four bucks I think.
Other than that, let’s think of ways in which you can express your urge to cut, without hurting yourself. Have you tried running, or yoga, or guitar? (I’m throwing out some activities that cause pain, but are actually good for your mind.) You can retrain your mind to not “need” self-harm.
shes kinda in a rough spot right now.. so i told her id tell you guys what she said.
she said that shes checked into the generic versions of the medications but all the pharmacies say the same thing: that the kind of ritalin shes on, in that dosage, doesnt have a generic kind.
The pharmaceutical companies sometimes have programs that can help pay for meds too.
ahhhhhhh my msn signed out for a second.. i tried to get back on and shes offline now :S im hoping her msn just sgned out too and then she’ll be back on =/
If you can get her back, there’s still a few of us on luminosity if she wants to chat. And you’ve welcome too of course angel.
kk thanks =) ive just texted her and asked her to come back online.. hopefully she does.
Nothing you can do but wait, or email her if you have the address.
yeah i guess so… im just so worried about her!!!
i really hope shes okay..ive texted her twice. and she like alwayss has her phone with her :S
Try calling and leaving a message if she doesn’t pick up.
If you texted her she should have gotten it. I’ll email her too.
i have to go to bed now.. being kicked off the computer =/ but ill keep my phone with me and see if she texts back.
thanks for helping. night xx
Thanks for being her good friend.

I don’t pretend to understand the cutting thing. I gave up trying to figure that one out. But I do know that you have to hurting an awful for you to do that.
As for your meds. Have you tired getting them filled at either Walgreen’s or Walmart? They have a prescription drug plan where most meds are $4.00 for a month or $12.00 for three months. I get all mine filled there. In fact Friday I got 7 filled for less than $100.00 If it wasn’t for them I couldn’t afford my meds either. Here are the links to what meds they cover
Please…be okay.
My thoughts are with you, gypsy-corner. If you come back to read this, know that someone will be here to talk.
Just keep listening to whatever is telling you that harming yourself is a bad idea!!!

hey, i’m sorry to hear that you are having a rough time! there is light at the end of the tunnel though, i promise!!! don’t give in and don’t give up. occupy yourself as much as possible and surround yourself with friends and/or family often. go out and enjoy life!!
You are doing great by talking about it gypsy! Have you ever tried the “Health Department” for help?
Thanks guys for being so great and replying. I really appreciate it. SOrry it took so long for me to get here I was just in a really low place at the time I wrote this. To be perfectly honest it still isn’t much better now. I’m not sure what i’m going to do and i didn’t mean to worry anyone especially you angel but I’m not sure why I get like this but I can’t take it much longer. I just feel like giving in. Even tho i know the outcome wouldn’t be that theraputic.
I’m not even sure where to begin. I’m just having a really hard time getting things together. Just kinda out of it tonight. Just kinda want to give up on everything
i’m tired of trying tho. nothing comes of trying and nothing comes of not…so whats teh point of going any further?
no i know things change…its just i’m tired of pretending to be ok when i’m not. Tired of having to take medication just to be ok OR going and sitting and waithing to talk to a therapist or a psychiatrist just so that someone will actually listen to me about whats really going on instead of simply dismissing all the pain that I”m feelliling
i don’t feel depressed tho…I kinda feel like everything is clearer now? I know that doesn’t make sense but its like….before I was kinda fogged but now it seems like for the first time in a long time I’m seeing the big picture and I’m tired of it…
i don’t know whats wrong with me honeslty….everyone seems to think i’m in denile but IDK….i can’t seem to see it. Its like everything is so jaded around me that its hard to see anything but what I know…..AHHHh idk…does that make sense at all?
Thanks. I go back to the doctor on monday soo I’ll tell him about it then. I will be able to get them when i get paid on friday but now it just seems like a lost cause. I don’t even want to be on them. I never did in the first place really. I just want to give up. I believe in prayer and God and stuff i just don’t really practice any of it…idk
I know i’m depressed. I’ve actually been diagnoised with it. I just sometimes I don’t “feel” it. I guess I’m getting use to it which totally bites!
At least you have friends here who care for you. We’re with you.
Thanks sans that means alot! I’m just so frustrated right now with everything! Its so darn hard to see anything through this fog! I’m not even sure which way is up anymmore and honest to goodness I wanna give up on everything. I had an appointment today with my therapist and basically told her I wasn’t too sure if going on with all these doctors and such was a good idea. I think I freaked her out a little but that wasn’t my intenstion. Why can’t I care tho? This seems to be a side of me that I don’t even understand anymore.
would you like to chat on luminosity? there are 3 or 4 of us there now.
