I’ve Been More Depressed Lately
Andrea Asks:
Well, I’ve been changing (like my feelings and daily thoughts) I’ve been more depressed and having urges to cut. I kind of think I’m being possessed but not to the point where the demon controls me. I guess it likes to come out when it wants to. Am I right or am I imaging things?
Lucid’s Thoughts:
Everyone suffers periodic bouts of depression or sadness. It can, however become a problem when it is long lasting, and no signs of improvement are evident.
No you are not imaging things, and no I do not believe you are possessed by a demon.
I don’t know how long or how often you cut, but you do know it is an urge that comes deep from within. And because it is an action you normally wouldn’t do, or don’t want to be doing, you are feeling a lack of control. That loss of control is why you are interpreting it as a demon. (Something or someone is influencing you to do this)
Cutting is a psychological matter, and though I may have some knowledge of this subject, I am not a Licensed Professional/Health Care Provider.
I would like to suggest, if you have not done so already, reach out for some help with someone who specializes in this field. They may be able to assist you further, and get you to where you would like to be.
Thank you for writing in, and I hope you feel better soon!

I know sometimes it feels like some alien is in your body making you do these outragous things. Lucid says it could be the feeling of having no control. I agree but I also know that once someone does the actual act of cutting they feel the control come back. It is like two in one. A loss of control that is gained back by the same thing that caused it.
Seek help! It can be very difficult to try and deal with it by yourself!

Try talking threw your feelings with someone you can trust. I don’t know who you are, how old you are, or if you have ever told anyone that you cut but I know something must really be paining you for you to take that kind of action.
You aren’t alone and you dont have to do it by yourself.
