• 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.

Dude, why the heck did her post get reported?

My prayers are with you! I self-harmed for quite a while, but I know that you can overcome this eventually. It may take time and like explodingboy said, there is not instant fix, it will take time and determination.

Hey

Take one day at a time. Sometimes life sucks and we can't do anything about it but cope. I know it's hard to cope sometimes, I'm a recovering cutter. Take a look at this thread http://christianforums.com/t4465869-things-you-can-do-to-de-escalate-and-divert-an-emergency.html, it's a list of things you can do to distract yourself when you do get really down. Also you might consider posting in the SI forum which is here http://christianforums.com/f478-self-injury-support.html. The people down there are abosoulutly awesome, at just lending a hand to anyone and everyone.

When things do get hard remember God is one your side and we can do all things through him.

Lastly feel free to PM me anytime, if you want to talk or vent about anything.

From
Nat

Life throws quite a few curveballs at you that are unhittable. But, still, try your best, do the best you can and go through it. That's what separates the winners and the losers, winners can push ahead and try their best even when things look their worst.

We all make mistakes, we all mess up, it's kind of like in school when you clean out your locker and expect to keep it clean, then two weeks later it's messy again, but eventually high school ends. Yeah, that was a terrible example but whatever, you know I'm there for you! :hug:
