Hi Gwen
Have you mentioned your 'problem' to your doctor?
I think you should. Self harming can be very dangerous.
Good luck

yeah i have Melbi but he said that the citalopram will stop these moments however it really hasnt. hope your doing well xxx
Hi Gwen, its Tiny Tears.
I can understand why you do it!!! It might just be the case that the citalopram might take some time to work. Or you might need a higher dose. I dont know.
My half step sister use to self harm also. Its not that uncommon...and its a horrible place to be in. eventually she hurt herself so bad she ended up in hospital with stitches , she had just missed one of her main veins! Do you blank before you do it? Sensitive topic...I know you dont have to answer. You have been very brave to admit to your doctor, and you should pat yourself on the back for that. Im sure, and hopefully in time you will stop doing it to yourself.
I drink like a fish and take little chocolate pills (laxatives) to help my insecurities.....a guess its a different type of self harm, though it still is! I am starting to improve and I have been on this pill for months. It does help you to see the world in a more postive light, at moments, but its better than being in a darkened hole all the time...and trying to claw your way out of it. I hope you get better soon, lot of hugs to you, Tiny Tears.
