I may self have been searching for the same thing and have yet to come up with anything. I hate the way it feels, and the ideas and images that pass through my mind are scare my, yet at the same time are a confort. Maybe we can help each other out. Until then remember that someone out there does care, and someone will miss you. Take care of yourself.

I am a long way from my teen years, but I know a lot of teens and I have met some who have been involved with cutting themselves. I am thinking of one girl in particular who later tatooed most of her arms to cover up the marks. She still speaks to this day, 10 years after the fact, of the profound sadness she felt at that time in her life.

I think there are better ways to go about working on this issue, and I personally think that the dr that you confided in is an idiot. Your feelings are real and it sounds to me like you might benefit from finding a safe person with some training in counseling to talk about how you feel. You might consider a school counselor, a youth group minister, or a trained therapist. Often, someone like this can serve as a confidant and help you put your feelings in perspective. There is no shame in reaching out for help. The only shame is in ignoring a plea for help from another.

thanks for writing on this board. There are many of us out here that care, but ultimately, it has to be your responsibility to seek out help in the "real" world.

Good luck. Let us know how you are doing.

Thank u for ur reply august west im actually 26 not a teenager (i wish) i made phone call to mental health today and im waitin for them to call back i was honest and open about my situation and i do wanna get help im tired of battlin these vivid images and i do plan on findin a new doctor i agree with u that my family physician is an idiot and hes been my doctor since i was 2 years old so he knows about my personal history medically and personally everything the good the bad and the ugly he was a great doctor years ago but outlook on him changed after one specific incident with him and perspective has been very different on him honestly it started a few years ago when i was with me ex of boyfriend ( i was with him for 7 years ) well my ex contracted an std and i went to my doctor to get tested instead of him doin the testing to confirm if and wut type of std it was he jus took my word for it gave me some pills and told to be on my way since then i havent really seen him to much i now ?question? his capabilty as a doctor dont have much more to say
thank u for ur concern and i hope to hear from u soon take care
Actually, I recall that I had a similar situation when I was about 21 or 22, and just blithly went off to the Dr.. They had always urged us to do so in the classes--I was treated like a pariah. Doctors are human and many have a lot of trouble confronting certain types of behavior. Now, no one wants to have something like that happen to them, but it is a legitimate health issue and needs to be treated as such. He may have been a little emotionally involved since he had seen you since your were an infant. It may be time to get a Dr. who can take a more objective view of things.

I hope you find some help in the mental health faciltiy. It may not be the best in the world, but it may be enough to get you through this. Good luck.

Jenna I strongley support your choice to go see a different doctor. These things never just go away, they need to be delt with and each person is an individual with different needs. Don't be sorry that I am going through something similar, I was also looking for someone who could relate. I admir you for telling your doctor bacause i have never been able to tell anyone excactly how bad i am or what i see. This is the first. I must thankyou for that. I haven't found any online support groups, though I have been looking. I hope to keep in touch. When in need feel free to email me at troubled_cow@yahoo.ca . Sometimes I find for me it just takes one person who understands and doesn't dump on how I feel and what I am going through to support me the best.

Things always work out in the end.
