Dear
Good that you are querying.
You need to consult a psychiatrist immedietely
Your diagnosis may be depressive disorder with suicidal ideation.
There re also traces of paranoid ideation.
Bur there is nothing to worry.
You didnot mention about the other psychiatric conditions.
Any way please consult your psychiatrist without delay.
Hi,
Considering ur repeated feeling to cut down and unable to manage anger u need to see ur doctor again annd need regular ollow up there and also psychotherapy to help anger management and to learn a acceptable way of anger expression.
So pls have a consultation with psychiatrist immediately...he will help u
Also please note that the changes that you are seeking, in terms of stopping the feelings to cut yourself need "you" to wrok through the issues involved along with the professionals. You "working " does not mean you jsut attending the out patient clinic appointments or the talking therapy sesssions, if you have any, with your mental health team. It means you putting into practise what you have learnt in the 1 hr of session in the (24x7-1)hrs (if you have weekly sessions) that you actually live your life. That is where your actual work starts.
You can be helped by both medication as well as talking therapies (psychotherapies).
The only thing is, for anything to work, you have to be alive and unfortunately many a youngster looses his/her life by misadventure/accident while harming themselves. UNLESS YOU HELP YOURSELF BY KEEPING YOURSELF ALIVE, NOBODY ELSE CAN HELP YOU.
Please go through the following leaflet about self harm in young people.
