• 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 relapsed into self harm again <staff edit>. I'm rather upset at myself now, cause it has been about 8 months since I did it last. Yes, I am going to therapy and am on medication.

I'm just kind of, um, well... asking for prayers? =/ <staff edit>

This thread has been moved into Recovery.

Please read New Recovery Guidelines before posting, especially these two parts:​


These things are considered off topic and will not be allowed in the Recovery forums:

  • Promoting yourself as an expert

  • Diagnosing anyone's symptoms

  • Offering treatment of any kind to other members

  • Prescribing over the counter remedies

  • Discouraging the use of the Christian faith to cope with problems and struggles.

  • Recovery Staff feel very strongly that members need to seek out real life licensed professional services and local pastoral care in addition to asking for support and advice here.

  • Discouraging someone from taking prescribed medications, using or seeking professional services, using hotlines or crisis lines.

  • Ethical and moral discussions. Other areas of Christian Forums deal with these topics.

  • Any posts dealing with spiritual warfare will be removed.

  • Asking or requesting that members engage in research topics or volunteer as research subjects, or directing web-traffic to another site for this purpose is not acceptable.

Harmful or hurtful posts:

  • Recovery staff will remove posts or threads that we think could be harmful in any way to any member or group of members, Even if the post or thread might not be intentionally harmful.

  • Recovery staff will edit or remove posts that we see as being a trigger for someone who is trying to stop doing some behavior. For example, a post that might trigger someone to self injure or a trigger for people with eating disorders.

  • Because of the risk of triggering suicidal thoughts in others, we remove threats and/or endorsement of suicide. This includes posting that another member others know have killed him/herself. If you are having thoughts about suicide but have no immediate plans or intentions your posts may be able to show.

  • We want to allow you to have support from others but we must be careful not to have posts that might trigger others. Staff will err on the side of safety and caution for other members in these situations. Please utilize local professional services such as calling 911, going to the emergency room or to a local medical clinic.

  • When Staff remove these suicidal posts or self harm posts of any kind from view we are trying to encourage the members to seek professional services in their local area and provide phone numbers to local crisis lines if available.

Try not to beat yourself up too much ok. It will be easier said than done, I had a slp this week, first time in about 8 months.

Theres a tendency to go "accchh I'm so stupid" and other self berating talk, the reality is that it solves nothing. What I am trying to do is look at the things that triggered it and so I can ensure that it doesnt happen again. I'd like to encourage you to do the same with yoiur therapist if thats possible.

The mental health professional your seeing should have given your their phone number. They are there to help you. If you have thoughts or impulses of injuring yourself please call them immediately. If you can't call them then call a hotline, just get a professional on the line to talk to.

God Bless

Why do some people ask you your first AND LAST name immediately upon meeting you? Does it bother you if they do? Do you do that with people?
