haven't given up yet.... need prayers!

[Mayflower1]

Hi ya'll! just dropping in. it has been awhile. I just got dismissed from Teen Challenge last week for cutting. I was on Restoration for 4 months, but I have been at Teen Challenge for two years, so it has been a little stressful and Im try not to beat myself up for it... I really am a lot better then I use to be. It is just the fourth time I have relapsed here... please pray for me as I am in the application process for Mercy Ministries. I am not ready yet, but I am almost there... I want to be able to say I am completely free from self-injury and all I went through as a child. I am not going to stop fighting. never.... no matter how many mistakes I make, I know that my issue isn't bigger then the cross.... please pray for me though, because these urges are so hard to fight. it has always been my way out, and I just can't do it anymore. you come to a place where you just get sick and tired of being sick and tired of being sick and tired of making the same mistakes. I am at that point. I've said it before and failed, but I say it again, I'm not cutting again. and one day it will be true. Love you all, Shara

So very sorry you got dismissed from Teen Challenge. Seems harsh, you are being very courageous in your battle against this problem. While I dont have the same problem as you, I do have a problem thats very hard to beat and so I can emphasise with you in your struggle. I pray that you will know Gods help to beat this problem and that you will be able to get into the Mercy Ministries (great name).

God bless you!!

well, now I am leaning more towards another program called afriendshouse in Bluffton, Indiana. it deals more with emotions, personal responsibility, and self-harm. but I'm applying for both and seeing which door is open if not both.

Teen Challenge is a great program. I believe I was given a favor, because I still have that mentality and I need more help. plus, TC isn't very experienced in self-injury, eating disorders, or sexual disorders, so Texas isn't taking anymore who do. I have grown a lot through Teen Challenge. I love it, and am still great friends with all the staff there. they pray for me and we chat over facebook.

Hi Lily, it's great to hear from you
I'm sorry you had to leave TC, but it sounds as though you will find somewhere where you can get more specialised help, and that's great! You're doing so well, sweetie! Keep going, and keep in touch if you can

I've heard great things about TC, as well as your glowing recommendation. I'm sorry you were dismissed, though. That's hard. I hope and pray that one of these other doors will open for you.
Your posts have given me courage and inspiration... can't thank you enough. I'm in a dark place right now and its so good to hear from someone else who is walking this road for similar reasons.
