• 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.

do you think its stupid to self arm over missing a mate who isnt there any more who like has gone to america and is never coming back again all my 'mates' do they say its stpid and i gotta get on wiv my life

plz comment on wat you thhink
love leigh xxxx

Oh leigh, self harm is never the answer. It is A way to show the emotional pain that you are feeling, but it is not a healthy way to do it. It is very natural to miss your mate, mourning their "loss" is part of the process of letting them go, but sweetie, there are healthier ways to do it. Have you tried writing in a journal the feelings that you are having over this, or talking to someone? Those would be my suggestions to cope, but self harm is never recommended. Stay strong in the Lord!

[BIBLE] [/BIBLE] no i do NOT think it is stupid. but its definitely not the smartest thing in the world to do. but i can say that i understand. i use to cut. the truth is the only answer is God. Trust in him to heal your heart. The thing that got me to stop cutting is God. there is this song called the fingerprints of God. it talks about us all being perfectly created in his image and us being covered with the fingerprints of God.anyways if you need to talk im always here.

with love,
Lexi[BIBLE][/BIBLE]

Leigh, you don't deserve to be hurt, or to be called names, even by yourself. Missing someone can be very painful, it's sad your mates don't understand. Please try and find someone who does, so you can talk to them about it and about your feelings.
