• 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

Lately when I've been really angry or really upset about things, I've found myself gnawing at and biting my thumb and index finger, mainly my thumb.
Does this count as self injury? It's been happening for the last two months I'd say. Last weekend I managed to make it really quite red and it stung when I washed my hands before dinner.

Hey,
Anything that causes pain or damage to yourserlf, to deal with emotions & stuff in your life you cant handle.
I cant tell you wether or not it is but..
I use to bite my self when i was little, i didnt relise at the time, but i know now that it was self injury. I would get so mad at life & myself & jsut bit my arm or something else as hard as i could till my arm & teeth hurt.

If u think thats why you do it,
or your worried.
try talking to someone you trust, it can help to talk bout the reasons behind it.
you can always talk to us too.
