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!
