• 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.

Last night by best friend told me that she didn't really want to talk to me again until I had 'sorted my life out' which basically means stopped self harming.
I don't blame her, she's had to put up with my ups and downs for the past 5 years. It still really hurts though. She was one of the only people i could be completely honest with, i could tell her when things were bad and when things were good. She promised me she would never give up on me but she has.
I feel let down and deserted and feel so lonely.
:cry:

:hug: :groupray: :hug: for you!


It's really hard when this happens and there are no words that can make it feel better. Perhaps she feels that if she does this, you might go to professional help instead which may be of benefit for you. I've known that happen before..
I'll pray you find the help you need soon to get through this. Just try and hold onto the fact that the Lord won't leave you in this, however much the people around may go, he will be always with you.

Thanks for your support.
By her doing this it isn't going to make me seek professional help, in fact it's just made me want to withdraw completely and not talk to anyone about it. I guess it is not fair on other people when I am honest about what is going on so I might as well stop being honest about it all.

It's not that its not being fair, it's that sometimes people can't cope with others problems, which is sad. I'm sorry that this has happened, I hope you'll continue to be honest here with us. Certainly I know we'll be here for you and be praying for you. I hope you find someone soon where you are too, who you feel you can trust and be honest with.

I can definitely sympathize with you. When I was in High School, my best friend told me he didn't want me to hang around him or any of his friends that he had introduced me to, because I scared all of them with my self-destructive behavior. That was such a hard time in my life.

Year later, we did hook up again, and were friends, but never really hung out like we used to. I realized over time, that he didn't deserve the honor of being my "best" friend, because that kind of friend is there for you when you need it. Luckily, I did make that kind of friend, and that was the friend that actually led me to Christ.

I pray that you can develop the kind of friendship with someone who can be there for you.

A brother /sister who loves The Lord will not desert you because he will keep focused on the healing and the joy and the victory that is already won.

I know people deserted by their relations who saw the difference with God's people !

And Ruth & Naomi were considered a liability, except by Boaz who saw the heart after God . . .they got blessed much more than the rest !
