It gets hard, but you guys all need to remember that god is on your side, and satan just tries to make it harder. God loves you guys, all of you so...so much. He's with you every time you cut, and everytime you try to struggle along alone and falter and slip, his heart breaks and he just yearns to take you in his arms and protect you.

'how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing'- Matthew 23:37

remember that you, me, we all...can come to god when we feel unworthy, we have a problem, even when it feels we cant continue our walk with him. do NOT feel unworthy and unable. Jesus died on that cross for every sin. He connected us with god. If you need god, GO TO HIM. you are allowed, no matter how unworthy satan tries to make you feel. God bless you all, be strong, keep fighting, and if satan comes and tries to tempt you, quote a verse from the bible, thank god for strength, and tell satan to be gone.

I just wanted to say hugs to all of you...and hang in there.

Bulevery- Keep at it. The urges come and go in waves. If you can just get past this wave...you will get to a time where it is easier again. So hang in there girl. I have been where you are right now...and I know it can be excruciating. If you ever need to talk please PM me. I'm at almost 4 months.

Last Time I cut had to be back in November 2005(6 months ago). It was really serious at that time. I was going through so much at that time(which almost made me want to commit suicide..I was very close). I knew I had to do something and did. I ended up making a promise to someone(a priest who I've known for a good 3 years, whom I've called consistantly because of the numerous times I cut). I knew if I made the promise to him that I would have to fight to keep it because of how close of a friend he is to me. I also added time in my life to visit my church regularly to try and get my mind off of things that might be bothering me. I also got more involved in my parish to also keep me occupied(and plus it made me happy, and I figured what a better way to get rid of pain then adding more of the things that make me happy into my life). And so far, that promise, friendship, and added church participation seems to be enough for me to keep away from cutting.
I have had thoughts and wanted to cut, but I always seem to remember the things he told me on that day. I thank God each day for that person and for God's neverending love..and I have faith in all of you, that one day you will stop and see God's light and goodness like I did.
I know I've said a lot, but I figured I'd share my story to show you all there is hope!
I shall pray for all of you, who struggle with this way of life. It is hard, I know. But I do have faith that you all will pull out of it.
and I know this board is here for you, to vent out frustrations..for you to reach out to people who are/or were just like you and ask for help. I am pretty sure people on the board(as well as I) will try their hardest to help you in your time of need...as well as trusted people in your everyday lives.

+May God be with you all during your darkest times. May God try and push the bad thoughts and temptations away and may God pull you more into a closer relationship with Him+

I love you guys so much. Just reading the posts of like a few hours, half days, etc fills me with such compassion for you guys. Satans going to keep attacking you, but remember you have the power to overcome with jesus. You cant give up, on yourself, cause you'd be giving up on god. And...god knows, literally....where we'd be if he had given up on him. Be strong, all of you. You can do it, and satan knows that so he does his best to hurt you now, cause when you finally overcome it with god, he knows he has no chance.

God bless you all. Your all so beautiful and lovely.
