I can't stop hurting myself

[sosplz]

Hi people. I haven't really posted anything in a while, but here goes nothing. In the past week I have been having so much anxiety. From schoolwork, from my friends, from sports, its just been too much. I used to cut when I got really angry or anxious but now I have taken more to hitting myself. More specifically on the wrist, with a rock. At fist I just did it because my friends were being jerks to me and I really wanted to hit something and feel pain. But later I kind of just did it because I couldn't handle the stresses of my life. originally I thought all it would leave was a bruise and I was ok with that. But then It got to the point where I was hitting it so much my wrist got swollen and my right arm and hand were constantly in pain. I am so stressed about everything even the small things but honestly I have to stop doing this. Any advise?

First please don't hurt yourself, secondly stay away from people that hurts your feelings or make you feel uncomfortable thirdly it sounds like you need a mental and physical break, it sounds like you're doing so much, are you on any meds to help you calm down, please get professional help, God bless you 💛

I’m on anti depressants but they don’t really seem to be working very well. As for a psychiatrist, The only one that has an office near my house can only see me once a week. 😕

How long have you been on anti depressants you are currently taking? Maybe it's time for a change, I'm on 3 different meds, plus another if I'm really having a bad day, you are fortunate to be able to see your psychiatrist once a week I usually see mine 6 to 8 weeks specifically when starting a new meds. I hope your psychiatrist finds a medication that works for you cause it is hard dealing with anxiety and depression.
