• 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.

Hey everyone, it's Sqiz again.

I had a really bad relapse for about 3 weeks, then I didn't cut for a whole week, then I had the worse relapse I've ever had...to the point where I almost needed stitches...and I was almost hospitalized again...

BUT, after all that, I finally decided I WANT to stop cutting, not just stopping because my parents want me to, or because if I don't, I'll be hospitalized, NO, I WANT TO STOP CUTTING FOR ME.

I've never done this before, and the one major reason why I decided to stop was, I made my Grandmother cry...

You see, since I was born I had the most beautiful skin, even now I have the prettiest skin in the whole family, but, since I've been cutting again scars are bad, especially on my stomach and left arm. My Grandmother saw the cuts one day and she cried, which really broke my heart...

So, I don't want to make my Grandmother cry, and I don't want to scar up the body God gave me, either, so, I've decided to stop cutting.

I know, I'm going to have relapses, but, I just have to pick myself up and start over, like my good friend said, "Never quit quitting".

It's going to be a rough road to recovery, but, with God on my side and my family and friends backing me up, I can do it, I just know I can.

So, prayers would be appreciated greatly, thank you for listening.

:hug:

I believe in the power of modern psychiatry. The medication the talk therapy with the psychologist, the rapport with the psychiatrist, all these factors that lead to good sound psychiatric care will ease the affliction of your mental illness. Get better, an with a healthy attitude that you are going to do your part to treat your mental illness and take good care of yourself, you should be alright!
