I agree with HolyOne87. Start some writing as there is always a reason. You may not be aware of it yet but creative avenues could bring the reason(s) to surface so you can take care of matters and not be quite so uncomfortable. mamalonglegs

Having one's head so full that the noise is intolerable is very uncomfortable. Harming yourself will not make that noise go away. So please don't even go there. Distractions and general busyness does not help either. The things I've found that help in this situation is first to pray and ask...

You are not ALONE! No one like the feeling of wanting to tear themselves apart nor all the other feelings that come before. It is miserable, ugly, and horrible to deal with. It is also reality. But it doesn't last forever especially if you do not dwell on it in your mind when it comes. The...

Have you taken time to put on the full armor of God yet. It tells how in Ephesians chapter 6:11 and verse 12 tells us why we need to do so. Our enemy does not want us to have victory over our mutual self-harming destructing behavior. He likes seeing us down and down and down for the count...

You may feel like harming yourself now. That is sad and, yes, frustrating. But it is only a feeling and that can and will pass. Take the time to get on your knees and start praying and don't stop until that "feeling" goes away. You do not have to follow through on what you feel. It's hard...

I think to he may have been frightened or totally at a loss of what to believe or not knowing what to do either. If he truly cares, he will contact you and try to work it all out. In any case remember this from I Cor. 13:4-8;14:1a "Love is Patient, Love is Kind. Love is not jealous, it does...

My Dear Puplepride, Was it the fight with your mother caused you to hurt yourself? Or just because you were feeling badly about the fight that created the urge to do so? Do not answer me. Think about it. Then remember this. Circumstances in life are never going to be perfect all of the...

Anteloperunner: Do not be discouraged. Do not be sad. We all have to end and begin. Somtimes we have to do it over, and over, and over, and over. But guess what? Each time we begin anew, it gets easier. Also, God tells us that "His mercies are new every morning." You see He knows we need...

Hi Berry200~It's mamalonglegs: You know it doesn't matter what "things" we have. We make choices and do what we plan to do no matter what "tools" we have or do not have. Everything is a choice. The things we possess do not make us do anything. We choose. I once read a quote that said...

Now that is getting right to the point! Great expression and succint. "Think on these things. . ." (Phil. 4:8). What a difference getting past this hurdle is making in my life. It will do so for all those who make the Holy Spirit there Helper to "Bring every thought into captivity" (II Cor...

I would like to add one more note to my post on kicking out negative thinking. I have only been working on this for about six weeks or so now. I found it extremely difficult at first. Then it hit me what the key to success would be. I realized that I could not get rid of those thoughts that...

This is for everyone and is a good tie in to the post I made yesterday as a closure actually to punctuate the necessity of taking on "The Challenge." It is a quote by Charles Capps, "When you speak what you believe, you believe what you speak. The more you believe it, the more you say it...

Knowing what baptism is all about personally, you might consider the decision to follow through with it as a step of faith toward a better life for yourself. That is to show that in your heart between you, God, and those that witness the baptism, your intentions to walk in the Spirit of the...

Hello Everyone :wave: This is another post to keep for a short time. I was challenged by a friend a month ago to not allow negative thoughts to enter my mind. It use to be to try and not say anything negative about myself. But she took it one step farther and told me that anytime a negative...

Question? You said "nothing was awful but now it is." How quickly did your mood change from "nothing is" to now IT IS"? What happened? Was it a thought? Something someone said or did? Who is in control of making the decision to harm yourself? And who is in control of staying in that place...

It is a good thing to care about another. However, we cannot take full responsibility for their every breath, every movement, and when they sleep. Guess Who is in that business? God and He knows what your brother needs and how to take perfect care of Him. You my dear are not God and please...

That's right. Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit as directed by your "Abba Father" is the one who can and will set you free. He does not want his children running around sick, crippled, and hurting. "He came that we might have life and have it more abundantly." Please continue your...

You may be hurt but you are not alone here. There are many of us who will support and pray for you and give suggestions of what helps us. I hope that someday your name may lose the "alone" part. Besides if you are a child of God, He will never leave you or forsake you. Do you really want to...

Way to go berry2000! All you need to do is delete the "I guess" part from your post. Keep going and I'll keep dancin'! mamalonglegs
