I self harmed last Friday which isn't something that I had done since November. The incident last week meant that I had to go to Minor Injuries to have the wound dressed on the Sunday. Since spending most days having the dressing changed, the wound has now started to heal. However, I feel like I want to self harm again. I've just started new antidepressants which I know may not be helping with my ideology. However, the urge to self harm is quite strong - is there any advice?
I myself have cut my arms up pretty bad in my past and usually its caused by some type of pain upstairs can you be more specific you dont have to its fine, is it because your off your antidepressants? or just starting new ones? did something bad happened to for you to do this? Its really sad to hear your hurting yourself man talk to me.
