Dark room, dark glasses, dark clothes...Help?!?

Question

I'm a rehabilitating cutter and I've been good about not doing for months. Then out of blue I got the urge to cut again. It's not like I was stressed or depressed or anything. It just always happens in spring and fall. I get the urge more than in the winter or summer. I've been blocking myself of in my bedroom with all the lights off and my window blinds shut. Complete darkness with my headphones on blaring music. When I get the oppurtunity to go out, I do. But it's not often. At school, I wear all black and sunglasses because the lights hurt my eyes and I wear headphones because it blocks out other ppl. Also it slows my mind down and gets it running on one track instead of a million. What could be causing this? And how do I stop it? It's making me anti-social and I hate that.

Answer 1

When you go in your room next time,open the windows and the curtains.  Keep your room quiet and just listen from a comfortable spot on your bed.  Let your mind wander . Try to think positive thoughts, like, What is my favorite... What  has made me smile or laugh lately?  Think beyond the here and now.  What do I want from this life?  What fuels my passion, in a positive way?  What can I do to take myself away from this darkness?  Then go to your window, look up in the sky and ponder your thoughts and with all yor heart, envision a breakthrough from the life you have now, and you 'will' find your answer.

Answer 2

Don't lock your self in your bedroom in the dark.

If light hurts your eyes, consult a doctor.

Don't wear headphones at school.

What's causing this is you're blocking all other people and all light out of your life. That would depress anyone.

Talk to your school counselor.

There's nothing wrong with needing a little follow-up help. Can you contact your previous therapist or whoever? Maybe you can have a couple more sessions.

It could be a lot of things that triggered this. Talking to a professional can help you get to the bottom of it, and get beyond it again.

Answer 3

see a psychiatrist, sounds like insanity might be the cause of your problems.
