• 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.

Lately, my cutting has been getting worse. I don't know what to do. The other day, I was so upset, I cut 20 times in one day. I see a counselor, but it is not helping. I have already been hospitalized for it. Is there any hope for me? Someone at church told me that by cutting, I am no longer a Christian. I want to stop but can't. I feel like the people in my family think that it is so easy to stop. I sometimes tell them, it is like a drug. It is addicting and you just can't stop. I have been a cutter for 5 years. Does anyone have and advise for me? I really could use some. Thank you.

just because you cut, doesn't make you weak or no longer a christian, it is just your way of dealing with things. It may not be a so called "ideal" way, but what is? We all have things we struggle with, and a lot of people would be surprised how many people do SI, it is not an excuse to do it, but it's hard to stop, keep praying. I'll be praying for you too!
God bless

You are a Christian no matter what. Let nobody tell you otherwise saved! Nobody. That is a heartless thing to be said to you. I have heard it is addictive, and caused by deep sorrow. No, it's not easy to stop Pet. It takes baby steps.
One day at a time. And, other girls here will tell you it is not easy at first. But, we've seen them go 1 day, then two, then three. Then, a little slip, and they start all over again. It's all baby steps Darling. :prayer: :hug:

That person at church was just a acting like a Pharisee.

When his child is hurting in anyway that is when Jesus comes to you.

And set yourself small targets to reach in breaking your addiction, ones you can easily reach to boost your belief in yourself. as Bevlina said. it all just baby steps. a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, and with jesus every step you take he takes a 100 for you.

Jesus Loves you so much :)

I love what Mr.Cheese said. (BTW :birthday: )

I know how you feel. I was at one point in time cutting around 40 times a day. :eek: But if you really try... It will get better. Try telling yourself to stop... When you feel like you might cut too much... tell yourself it's enough. It helped me. I hope it can help you as well.

You're loved.

-Jo. :hug:
