• 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.

Im not even sure where to begin. I am just having such a hard time just getting by.

I don't know if it's depression, or things around me. but I feel so lonely, and unsure about everything
And I just don't know what to do with my life anymore.
Nothing is helping. And I can't get myself out of this rutt that Im obviously stuck in.
And I hate to say it, but I all I want to do is cut.
I feel miserable and pathetic and overall I just feel bad.
So much is going on and I can't control anything anymore.
I'm not looking for anyone to say anything. Im just venting cuz I don't where else to go with anything anymore:cry:

First off, my heart goes out to you because you are in a lot of pain and suffering. :groupray: :groupray: :prayer:

Suffering from depression (I read your other post in the depression section) can certainly overwhelm your emotions and thoughts, and sometimes this may lead an individual to expose of all that negativity by engaging in destructive ways, cutting, binge eating, drugs...etc.

It must be very hard for you right now to feel like you do not have the strength and ability to overcome all the pain that you feel inside. And not feeling like you are in control has to be one of the worst feelings! So, I do understand the pain that you express in your post and I just want to say that I care for you and I hope you soon find peace.

Do you have any healthy outlets for your pain? Maybe activities such as painting, drawing, sports, exercise, watching movies, spending time with a pet would minimize the pain and the compulsions to cut. In your other post in the depression section, you mentioned you saw a therapist--does that help your depression/SI?

Well, I hope that you soon feel better and please, please PM me if you need to.

Do not give up!

we are here for you!! I know how it might be to be in that position. It's def. tough and it seems like there is no way to go but down.
But that isn't true!
I will pray to God that you will find that inner strength to pull through these trying times.
and always remember, both God and us on CF are here for you.

*hugs*
