• 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.

It can be annoying,
The strength to resist the action is what matters
If you stay strong in your actions and do not give in to self harm you will eventually grow in confidence just think of it as the enemy and your going to bring it right down by being positive!

I am sorry you are having a hard time, I dont presume to know what you are going through and I am not trying to tell you what to do but this has just come to mind...when your strength is spent,
you should try and lean on others, I know how hard it is to even think about letting people in as I used to fear if they knew what was inside my head they would think me crazy!

Even if you rant about life to someone then slash at a polystirne block get a punchbag anything !
I used to punch my bed scream into my pillow sometimes do all of them and even then i still wanted to cut...but don't please don't give in to it !

Again I dont presume to know how hard it is but please fight it ! xxx

yeah it can be a pain sometimes. I know there are rare times I want to cut but I know I cant because I promised a good friend months back that I wouldnt harm myself in any way at all. I was close to doing it a few weeks ago, then didnt give in because I keep remembering the words he told me. The words just helped me to refrain from hurting myself. I never knew one person can have such an affect on me.
I have to agree with Ember, try your hardest to refrain. There are other forms of letting hurt out...writing(that always got me through a lot--then sometimes I would try and get my stuff published which preoccupied my time), punching a punching bag(like Ember suggested), etc. Maybe try exercising. I heard that can help sometimes as well. I know it helps with depression.

I shall pray that everyone(not only on this thread, but everyone who suffers from pain) will be okay and that God will help everyone through it.

:hug:Many hugs for you all :hug:
