• 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 know what you mean about SI being addictive. I am finding that at the moment I do it even when I don't have a reason, just out of habit, it drives me crazy. It's really great that you are seeing a counsellor and getting some help. :)
My mum called my stupid for self harming 3 years ago and at that point I vowed that I would never talk to her about it again because they don't understand and I haven't. Those words were so hurtful to me. I feel for you. :hug:

first off, you're not stupid!! don't get that in your head.
you're going to get thru this. you will conquer this!! so don't let yourself feel defeatable!!!
it's great that you see a counciler about everything!! i'm glad you're talking about it. :) that was my mistake, i just didn't talk about anything. As much as councilers can help, the true healing comes from Christ. Talk to him about it. tell him what's going on in your life. let him help you.
just take it a day at a time, girl. :hug:
if you ever need to talk, i'm always available.

sweet child, lovely child, special child, loved child; listen.... to the voice of love and kindness. listen to it, the Holy Spirit is calling you to believe that you have love and hope in Christ. listen to the children of God telling you that you are important ; made worthy and whole: first through faith, then the cleansing and re-newing of your mind.


sweet little child you belong to the family of God. you are my daughter, and a sister to others. your burdens are our burdens. your sarrorrows we will morn with, and your joys we will rejoyce in. listen past the lies and hurt you have known to the promises and love that you have been shown. listen.... to the voice of love and kindness. listen to it, the Holy Spirit is loving you...
sweet child, lovely child, special child, loved child. :hug:
:groupray: Lord and Father surround your child in her need, lift her eyes to the truths you have set before her, wrap your precious promises all around her and fill her with understanding. Father please help us to show her the love that you have given to your chosen so she can see how we are called to love one another in spirit and truth. bearing one another's burden's and speaking in prayers and psalms. Father please bless her counselor to understand and guide her in healling from the hurtful things her has grown up with believing. and through her Lord touch and convict her parents to stop calling her hurtful names and causing feelings that no child should bear. in Jesus name, amen.

commere melaniew :hug: !!!! lots of love and blessings, dee

I can't stop self-harming its like soo addictive now. I see a councillor who helps me stop it and helps me with my ploblems i have in life. I have been in hospital twice now. Parents just call me stupid:(

Firstly you're not stupid - self injuring is an illness, sometimes you don't even know you're doing it until it's done like a sub-conscious thing. It does become an addictive thing, I was addicted to it to the point where I was doing it every day but now it's alot further apart. I know it's not easy to deal with and it's hard but try to pray that God will take your pain away or that He will at least give you a break from this addiction. I know sometimes selfharm seems like the easiest option, but remember it might feel better for a while but all it does is cause scars - you might have to live with those scars forever. If you want to talk about any of this PM me, I am always available to talk. God Bless xx :hug:
