I am new. My name is Sharene, and i am 18 years old. I go to a Christian school, but i'm not really sure if i am a Christian. I was saved several times, but i'm still not convinced that i am going to heaven. I have cut since i was 12 years old, and i still do it. Last June (04) I told my mom that i cut, and she took me to a Christian counselor. Well, he didnt really help me that much. In October i threatened to kill myself, and my mom almost put me in the hospital. it was at that time i was diagnosed with having depression. In March i was put on an anti-depressant. It was working, but it made me gain a lot of weight. i was recently put on a new one. At the end of May, i was sick of not really getting better so i moved out of my mother's house so i could get proper help. I moved in with my spanish teacher, and i think i have been doing better since. I still cut, and i dont think i will ever be able to stop.

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.

Curious why you believe you aren't saved.
If it is because of self-injury, cutting/depression/emotional problems have nothing to do with your faith.

it is because all my life i have told different things about being saved. I'd rather just say i'm not than choose sides. Intelligent people telling me very different ways to get saved. You would be confused too.

intelligence has nothing to do with your faith in Christ. you can be the poorest person on earth and be loving the Lord.
biblical truth
i encourage you to stop listening to people around you because they will confuse you to the ground. start relying on what the Lord has said in his word. rely on that. believe what the bible says. it's concrete and real truth.

Romans 10:9-10 sums it up nicely.Sharhino22 said:
It all comes down to Jesus as lord and savior.
Anything else is just details.

well, my post disappeared. Here i go again...
there are some helpful internet sites on cutting
the Lord has helped me overcome my addictive codependency in Christian support and recovery groups, like Overcomers
as far as eternal security goes, I believe in onc4e saved always saved. Not because of what people say, but because of what the Bible says in its clearest verses, such as the ones quoted in my earlier post to someone else:
what is saving faith? in salvation verses, the Greek for believe is "to trust in or rely upon". As in John 3:16, Acts 16:31 - to trust in Christ's death on the cross to pay for all sins (I Peter 3:18) and to get us to Heaven one day, without any good works on our own (Ephesians 2:8-9). In other words, "faith alone in Christ alone plus nothing". And we cannot lose our salvation (see gift in Rom. 6:23 & 11:29, also John 10:28-29 - we can't even take ourselves out of God's hand). So, if the worst sinner in the world made that decision on his deathbed, he will have a home in Heaven. If he should recover and continue sinning, he would be punished by his heavenly Father, but he would still go to Heaven when he died, because he cannot lose his salvation.
Aloha in Christ
