• 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.

FOUR or FIVE MONTHS!! although my scars are still there, but ive even told a guy i liked about everything and he says it doesnt change his opinion of me.

My dear little sister Jennifer:

I am glad you've done so well. As the fighting gets difficult, ask Jesus to help you out. Indeed, he is mightier than any heavenly or earthly host. Read up his words from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. His words have a strange power that is invisible, but overcoming addictions. I will remember you in my prayers. Please write back, even though it was a slip or fall for a moment.

Sincerely,

Rupert

Please try the elastic band method the next time you are tempted. It has the same effect but is less distructive or noticable. i know i keep saying this but I know it has helped me, though i know it wont suit everyone there has got to be some people it will help. I now dont have a problem with SI at all but I do know what it is like nad occationally get the thought in my head when I break glass or am doing the washing up and washing up a sharp knife, but not to the extent of needing to do it.
