• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't have to to be able to pray for you. :hug:

Lord, I ask you to just show Jo Your amazing Love. Wrap Jo in Your arms, and let her know that You are there for her! Show her Your Will Father. Let her know that she can turn to You... I love you Lord. Thank You for always listening. Amen

I put my prayer on here because I have a bad habit of telling people I will pray for them, and then I don't. It is just a response I give... And I am working on doing what I say, instead of having empty words. I hope the Lord speaks to you, and if you ever need anything, feel free to PM me! :hug: :hug: :hug:

Love,
Krista

My little sister started cutting herself about a year ago. I have seen the pain first hand that can cause her to do this to herself. I don't have any advice to help you stop, but I can pray for you and listen any time you like. That is all I have been able to do for my sister and she hasn't cut her self in three months. God is with you and loves you...life is hard,don't suffer this alone.

Whoa. I know this feeling is overwelming, but you need to journal or something. When I cut, or did, I wrote in my journal and I still am. Pray, draw, sing, do whatever to get your mind off of cutting. Only you can stop yourself from cutting. God can only give you the strength.

God be with you, Jo. Rely on him because he really is your only hope.

God I ask you in Jesus' name to come to Jo and help her. God you know the entire situation and why satan is tempting her to harm herself, I pray for the strength in her through you to resist this temptation and come to you. Lord I know she hurts and I pray that no matter what she will come to you and know that you are the answer and the cure for all things. God I thank you for her contributions here on CF and for the person I know her to be. Please be with her God and send angels to protect and guide her.

In Jesus' name

~Amen

I will definitely pray for you! I don't cut, butwhen I'm upset I scratch at cuts I got from something accidental. I know, strange! I don't even think about, just do it when I'm upset! I have been doing it since I was five so it's like second nature. However, lately I've found writing positive things in pen on my skin works when I feel bad(like I LOVE MYSELF, GOD LOVES ME, I WILL NOT HURT MYSELF, I'M BEAUTIFUL) I don't know, its like I still get the feeling of doing something to myself, but as I'm writing the positive thoughts I'm thinking them and it's hard to hurt yourself when you are thinking, I LOVE MYSELF, I AM BEAUTIFUL,etc. I don't know if this will work for you and I'm sure you've read or tried things, but hey,it's worth a try!! Don't give up! It's mind over matter! If you can think it, you can do it! You have to believe in yourself though! I don't mean God doesn't have any part in it, but God has given YOU the strength and the power to do it if you try. I work in the news and I saw a video of a guy that actually moved things with his MIND. I know,crazy,but I SAW it with my own eyes. Anyways, best wishes, and remember, people are praying for you!

Reminds me of my mom and step dad....they are into Wicca and Satanism and she says she can do stuff like that. She says she can sit on the floor and come out of her body and float on the celing....not sure if she can or not, but it's kinda scarey. I experienced I lot of evil stuff when I was younger :eek:

Jo, I'm praying for you. I cut and burn myself though so I don't know what to say. I had gotten into stuff I can't seem to stop either. I made it easier to cut or burn and not feel the pain much. (Discosiation), I had alters and could split. I have scratches on my arm because I didn't feel it. Have you tried to wrap up in a sheet and find a safe place and talk to God and promise Him that as long as you are in your safe place, you won't cut? And pray to feel God's presence more real and close to you than the sheet your wrapped in. I did that alot at times and it helped. I mostly now got stressed though at work and easily get away with burning myself. I had quit cutting though for several months though. Don't know why I started back the other day.
