• 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.

well, let me explain. I went to Church camp 2 weeks ago and i became really close to a lot of people. i told these people that i cut and they helped me a lot. Well every night we had campfire, and one night we had the opportunity to throw our problems etc. into the campfire and i threw cutting, suicide, drinking, and smoking. Well even though i threw all that stuff in, i've felt suicidal, ive cut, and i've smoked. Ive gone back to everything! I am such a faliure. i have talked to the nurse from camp, because we became really close, and she is my accountability partner. She says i need a good christian counselor and i need to rely on God. I know she is right (also, i was saved and baptised at camp) So now i understand what it means to "need" God. It all seems so hard though. can somebody give me advice?

i wonder what your age/family situation are like.There must be one person you can sit with,not a counselor either that will hear you out.the very word you typed got my attention.Suicide.do you know something;please listen. What you plan on if it is such actions will be done for you but others have to live on,wondering. just think about this.
if you have nobody in your life you trust,I'm hoping God can direct a good person to come your way.the counseling thing is heck nuts for me,I can't even tell you I agree. You have my prayer:pray: I'm Ivan,if you want to email me here please do.

I'll be praying for ya, I can't really give you advice, because I haven't really come out of the other side yet, but distractions can help, like when yuo wanna cut, put some music on, tell yourself that even though you feel like you need to, it's not what's best for you, and pray! have you ever thought about going to a doctor? they may be able to help, my doc did her best to help me! it's really hard to do, but a friend could go with you maybe? I dunno, just a suggestion, if ya ever wanna chat to me, then you can always PM me, I understand the smoking drinking, suicidalness and cutting, so, you can always vent on me if ya wanna!

God's grace is sufficient. don't beat yourself up over what you've done!! God sees it and loves you like crazy anyway! in romans it says that we all fall short of God's glory. we all mess up and fail at times. it's ok! God's forgiveness and his sons blood covers us and cleanses us. keep bringing this before the Lord and he will help you! don't lose hope and become discouraged, please! take comfort in the Lord's grace and mercy.
