ANyways the doctor said i have depression and reffered me to the psychiatrist who i saw yesterday she is really nice.... I have seen my doctor the week before last and last week aswell and then i have another appointment to see my doctor next week.. But i self harmed again last night. I just feel like i am not in control of the self harm anymore.. What can I do?? Please help
I didn't have the confidence to when I self-harmed (I don't anymore). I think when you see the doctor next week you need to make sure they understand just how urgent it is, and also you psychiatrist. They may presribe you medicine for the depression (like my mum has) or try different therapies. What works best for helping people differs for each person. If you've spoken to your parents/guardians about the depression, then you could ask them help you when you feel really down. I find that going for a walk on my own somewhere warm and sunny helps cheer me up, as does listening to music or drawing. Try not to stay in the house if you feel upset, it might make you feel worse been stuck inside. You could also arrange to meet your friends if you don't feel right and they could try and help you.
