• 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.

You need to stop for yourself, not for him. Because if he goes, then you'll probably just start cutting again. However, maybe you could ask him for help. You know, maybe you could ring him when you feel like cutting, and talk about what is bothering you instead of cutting.

You seriously need to pray hun! Have you done that yet? Forget running to the boy for support. The first person you should run to is God! He's the only one who will ALWAYS be there for you through everything.
I know you love Alex and by all means let him help you - ring him etc. But make sure you involve God. Ask him for strength. Thats all you need to do. God has this HUGE amount of strength and your allowed as much of it as you like! But theres one catch... you gotta ask for it! Step out in faith and ask god for the strength to stop cutting. Thats the only way out of this situation.
