Am I brain damaged?

To: All.
Hi, I am problem. that is my name. that is who and what I am.

I have been taking tylonal #1s about 15 or more a day for about 5 or 6 years now. plus when I was 14 I would steal my dads tylonal 3's and eat like 9-11 at a time. My big question is why am I still here. I am not trying to take my life in anyway. But I do hurt myself. I been cutting myself since I was 11. the tylonals made me feel good about myself gave me confidence. but now it doesnt anymore. And I am always depressed. I've lost hope for my future and am a worrysome burden to my family. I guess my question is ...
Is my brain so far damaged that I am beyone repair? Can I fix myself or is it too late for me?

Be honest people. I can handle.

Problem.

I had to ask for help or I would of  never made it. No shame in asking for help and i gave some peoples ideas and fessed up to several people who did not know what was going on and guess what they were happy that I got them involved and felt close enough to them to confide in them. I am soooooooo glad I did. You would probably feel the same if you reached out. Someone on here several times has hurt my feelings, but I took a look at what they said and realized that was a good answer for how I expressed my question.
I wish tons of luck, wishes and promising future. You are the one that has to make that ultimate decision.

Okay...calm down...google it...it's ONLY my opinion. But,you have to admit the serious cutting followed by the drug use means something.  Ask the doctor tomorrow...I'm hoping you'll be okay...you're worth it,people love you,and you deserve a good life.

Take care of yourself....

Hey,yes,it's called something. It's called Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm sure you know that and I'm sure you've received treatment for this.  You know that treatment needs to be ongoing and long term.  You self medicate to kill the pain you feel emotionally. You cut yourself for the same reason.  You know this...I'm SURE you do.

Good luck with the doctor tomorrow.  Let someone help you...

If you haven't tried every treatment, therapy , 12steps program,doctor,suggestion,witch doctor,remedy then how in the world can you say you are beyond help? What you are experiancing is a feeling not a fact. What if you could recover?would you be willing to do whatever it takes to get there? None of us are unique! And guess what your not even the sickest person on this forum. The additude we have and the willingness to do something differant is the only thing that separates those of us who make it from those of us who don't. Weather you think you can or think you can't you are right!
