I use to control my negative thoughts but now I can't. I feel trapped and alone but I keep on holding on for my brothers that I care so much about. I use to cut but I stopped. I keep on getting this urge to cut myself but I try to distract myself. I keep on telling myself "you don't have a problem. This is normal. You're okay " but there's this thought telling me "you're not ". I don't know what's wrong with me. Do I have depression? Is this normal?

Lost control.
Is it normal not at all but its understandable i have some od those thoughts come ro mind for me i cant say whats best for you but havimg a friend or someone you can talk to when those thoughts come in really helps me out whenever a negative feeling or though comes i call someone and talk to them in doing that it usually helps me to stop focusing on my thoughts and feelings if you dont have anyone they do have 24 hrs prayer lines you can call and talk to someone hope this helps
Hi no it's not normal to want to self harm like this and is a sign that something is wrong. You can do online depression tests which might give you a guide. If you think you are then it would be a good idea to see a doctor.
Well done for resisting the urge to cut and keep on doing so.
Avi321 Do you feel compulsive after a negative thought? I have OCD and I do compulsive rituals after a negative thought. The cutting may also be compulsive .I would find a good psychiatrist and explain what you do. I take meds for OCD but that is up to you .They say don't fight the negative thoughts and just accept it as a thought. Easier said than done. Are you in therapy ? God bless
