Psychiatry? Therapy? ?

Question

Three major things to know 0.o.. (This would be easier for those who have seen/read my other questions.) I'm tired of writing my story out so can I do it in bullet form? (Writing in detail just puts me in a bad mood >.<)

- I'm severely depressed.

- I cut very often. (Almost daily, but with my own fingernails, not blades. I have MANY scars from years of doing this.)

- I was sexually harassed by my step father.

Seems cheap to be so short about it.. typing the full thing out over and over is just so.. bothersome T_T ...

I'm 16 years old.. I've been through a lot and I've had very unhealthy ways of coping.. Months ago I went to a doctor to get an appointment to see a psychiatrist. As it is, I'm supposedly not going until September even though I've waited months.

What I wanna know.. How do you know when you REALLY need therapy? Is it possible that you may not need it but only feel you do? As stupid as this is gonna sound, I just really wanna know JUST how messed up I am 0.o.. Like.. How far off from "normal" am I 0.o...

Can anyone tell me something like.. "the first signs of knowing you need help" or something like that?

Answer 2

If you are self injuring then you are really in need of therapy.  I wish you the best.  I know it is hard to deal with an issue like this.

Answer 3

i believe that u do need some type of therapist or something that will help u forget and fix those things that are happening in your life. therapists and phsychiatrist are proffesionals that now how to help out someone that is having problems like you..dont worry if u need therapy or not there are people with minor problems that go to therapy. My friend would also cut she had that problem for like three years she attended to a therapist and that has helped her ever since..she feels like a new person she tells me she is happy she went for help.Therapists are out there to help the people that want to improve their life. so if you want to better your life and fix your deppression attend to a therapist. wish you the best of luck

Answer 4

You don&#039;t need therapy. You need a good friend or boyfriend to turn to and bring the joyu back
