• 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.

I will try and tell my story and I hope it helps some one. I used to SI a lot and had done for 8 or 9 years I cant even remember when I started. I had been trying to give up for 5 of those yrs with no help from anybody else and failing. The good news is I can now say I don’t SI any more. Sure I still hit the odd thing when very wound up but haven’t cut in 9 months. So a few things I learnt from my experience that might help. Never give up you will beat it in the end even if it does take yrs. Tell people close to you. Only once I told other people and took help did I make big changes. The most important thing for me was to always ask God for help when I felt like cutting. Anyway I hope this will help somebody.

Take care
