• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Well done on getting through 4 days, that's an achievement.
Praying for you, brother.

Since January 1. So I guess about 46 days now... I've never cried so much in my life...
I did however do some light scratching one day, though I never broke skin.
As much as I hate this, I'm still on track

well yesterday but its not like cutting, its physically punching my head to supress my OCD thoughts, when i get overwhelmed with thoughts that cause me to get really scared walk around, sometimes cry i tend to cause pain to my head and say 'keep thinking go head see what'll happen' i hate it, i regret it everytime, its terrible :/

I too have ocd and sometimes when I get really angry at it i hit myself on the arm. When its really bad i cut myself. last cutting about a week ago

It has been approximately 6-months since I self-injured.

This was right around the time I began a new medication named Haldol; I honestly believe this medication is at least partially responsible for me not hurting myself.

Haldol was prescribed to me because my Doctor believed I have Borderline Personality Disorder, also, and thought this would help with the symptoms. One of the symptoms is self-injury.

I would say since late 2011. Although the remaining scars are still visible :/ Really wish I would have chose a different path then..

That's great, both of you :)
Keep going - you're a great encouragement!!
