• 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's been 2 weeks and 4 days for me and I am glad about that. I have been through some really intense stuff lately - lots and lots of triggers, but Praise God I have not cut. The urges are as strong as ever, but the desire has been less lately. I'm trying to stay positive but realistic too. This ugly beast will rear it's head again, but hopefully, the resistance will work and maybe even strengthen. There has got to be hope in the midst of this anguish.

I finally gave in. I have had such strong urges for the last like 5 days. i couldnt hold off any longer. i finally cut in the shower about an hour ago. im so ashamed. i hadnt done anything in so long, now i have failed. :( i guessi have to start over again~justaspeck


It's ok if we sometimes give in, It isn't failure.
It isn't showing weakness, We are going to stumble and face other hurdles.
You have a personal victory for making it several weeks.
I know you can be strong, You've shown that.:thumbsup:
