• 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.

I have a lot of issues I'm dealing with.. I have no self-worth, i am constantly starving myself to look pretty enough, and the only way I know how to cope is through cutting myself to release the pain... I have tried to get help, but it seems like everyone closes the door on me... Even my youth pastor couldn't help me... I am so afraid of how it will be once im older, because my life is so hard right now... and I know that if I continue going down this road, I will end up hospitalized :(. I desperately need help...

I don't really know what to tell you depending on how old you are and where you live there are differant options, I know in some states you can go to a few counseling appointments free, there are hotlines I know on the sticky threads.. I am sorry you feel this way I know its rough, but my inbox is always open, I am praying for you dear..

Sorry life is so hard, sweetie.
You are right, you do need help, and admitting that is a big step... well done!
I don't know your situation, but, it sounds as though you are pretty alone with this. Can you go to your doctor? They may be able to refer you for more specialised help.
If you want to talk, please PM me... I do know what that desperation and loneliness is like. :hug:

I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time. I wish I could make it better. Jesus loves you and wants the best for you. I think that seeing a counselor is a good idea. He/she can give you strategies to help you stop. God bless you.
