I have the usual history of depression, I won't get into that other than to say I take effexor, 300mg daily. I also have a history of self-injury, started it in my teens.
After my last treatment for deperession abt 5 yrs ago, I thought it was under control. Unitl recently, I hadn't done it.I am a cutter, I use razors to cut myself. This is not considered to be suicdal. But, it does seem to have an almost addictive quality to it. The more I do it, the more I want to do it. I have many urls's for info on it, have discussed it w/my T and pdoc...I can't seem to stop. And for the first time ever, it's scaring me. I want to see more blood every time I do it. Last time I knicked a vein, the blood gushed. Took quite awhile to get it stopped, using pessure & ellvating it.
Are there any meds that might help...any new trmnt that might be effective? It's really scaring me & yet I can't stop.
