Question by Jill M: Will You Diagnose Me Please?
I am a young girl, and one day my teacher saw wounds on my wrists and arms and called my mother. Since the incident, I have felt terrible about everyone I’ve hurt with my situation. I’ve been feeling worse than I have ever had in my life. It’s been a month since I was caught.

My eating habits have always been bad, but since the beginning of this year, when the cutting began, I haven’t been eating breakfast or lunch. I think I don’t eat so I will still be able to fit into my skinny jeans, though. I’m always hungry, I just don’t eat. When my mom notices my bank account money hasn’t dropped, I tell her I ate spare food my friend’s didn’t want, and she believes me.

My efforts in school have been extremely poor. I never study, but once in a while I do. The rare chance I study, I still fail. I could study hard, yet fail. My average is about a C or D.

I don’t have a man in my life, just a made up boyfriend. I pretend like I have a boyfriend named Sebastian, and a friend named Shauna. I tell my real friends about them, and it makes me feel better, I guess. I think the cause to me making up these people in my life is because I really don’t have anyone I can call a “best” friend, just a friend.

Ever since a month ago, someone is always hovering over me, or near me, usually my mother. She doesn’t understand that I need space of my own, even though I’ve told her that several times. She is ruining the little bit of space that I had.

Some people say I’m depressed. But, I dont know, for sure. I made this question to declare if I am, or not. I’ve taken several online depression tests/quizzes, and they all say I have severe depression and that I should seek professional help.

My mom and I have a little “therapy” session in my bedroom every Tuesday and Thursday, but I often find that I am lying to her, and just trying to make her feel better about the situation so I don’t have to see a real therapist like my school suggests.

The first time I ever cut was in third grade, then it started back up again in the sixth grade.

Thank you if you have actually taken the time to read this long question of mine. Nice comments only, please.
I have also been craving for a razorblade and even started cutting my left leg.

Looking for DEPRESSION THERAPY? Here’s DEPRESSION THERAPY information for you! – www.JoshGuide.com Occupational Therapy & Depression Occupational therapy helps individuals perform daily tasks in order to live a healthier life. Depression can be a debilitating disease. While medications may work wonderfully for some, it’s important for the individual to recognize that he can also benefit from occupational therapy. Medication in conjunction with therapy may prove to more effectively treat a patient’s condition than either one by itself. Positive Roles The occupational therapy approach incorporates activities into one’s daily schedule that fulfill the various requirements of a role the individual would like to embody. There are many positive roles that the individual can work on–Mother, Father, Worker, Student, Family Member, Friend or Chess Player, for example. By giving himself a task such as “Call my son today to wish him well,” or “I will get out of bed today, even if only to brush my teeth,” the individual is taking steps to overcome his depression. Energy and Action Sometimes depression weighs so heavily that the individual struggles even to lift her head from the pillow. An occupational therapist will help an individual identify the roadblocks keeping her from living a fulfilling life, help her replace bad habits with good ones and “prescribe” certain behaviors to help her increase her ability to live a healthier life. In “Elegant Choices, Healthy Choices,” Dr. Martha Sinetar states that if the depressed individual can find the smallest amount of …
