• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I am what I like to call myslef an ex-cutter becuase I never want to do it again. I even have a cross tattoo on my left wrist where I used to cut, to remind me that Jesus bled for my sins so I dont have to(when I used to cut i would draw a cross there to help me.) I dont know how long it has been since I cut last cuz i found it hinders me when I keep track.

anyway, lately I have been getting depressed and thinking about cutting again and its just kinda hard. all the people that I told a while back about my cutting are now gone from my life and I dont feel like my family would understand and I dont want them to freak out and I dont want to burden them.

so I would really appreciate it if you could say a prayer for me. even a quick one. it would really help.
thanks

Hang in there sweetie... I know how tempting it can be, but it really, really isn't worth it.
Once you start again, it is so hard to stop, and you don't want to get sucked back into that.
I can understand not wanting to tell your family, but is there someone you can talk to? A friend, youth worker, pastor... it does help so much to be able to talk, to call someone when you feel like cutting...

There is also a list here of things you can do to distract yourself - some of them may help.

Thinking of you, sweetie. You can get through five minutes, that's not too hard.. and it's all you ever have to do.. make it through the next 5 minutes. :hug:
If you need someone to talk to , PM me any time.
