• 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 failed. I was doing great, on two weeks selfharm free and then i messed up. And man do i feel like a failure for it. I should have and could have lasted longer, ive lasted over 20 days before, so for me to fail after 14 really sucks badly.

I regret doing it now, i was worse than norm and had to text my friend who lives in south africa so that i knew what to do as it was freaking me out. Plus hes older than me and wouldnt over-react. he was great, but i feel so bad for worrying him like that.

I just seem to be stuck in this same cycle and cant break free. i feel like a failure for messing up, i wonder some days why i even bother trying to fight the inner pain and the sel harm. i just struggle to see a point

Your not a failure in Christ's eyes, and you've probably heard it before, but if you were to big of a failure, God would not have even tried to help you the FIRST TIME. THink about, he's omniscient. HE knew you would be struggling with this when his SON was nailed to the cross, yet he still did it for YOU!!! Satan knows that with faith YOU CAN COMPLETELY OVERCOME THIS ADDICTION!!!!! SHow Satan that you will not conceede to his plans. Tell Satan to get behind you, and then do not dwell on it, because if you do dweel on anything, even rebuking he, he will have a hold on you. God loves you, read 2 Corinthians 1:1-7, study it, and act on it. You said you felt stronger when you were helping others on your journal, even though does not seem want you to help her, continue to reach out. REmember people still care for and are praying for you.

Don't give up hope. Battling you addiction is never easy.
Think of the 20 days as an achievement or a goal to beat. Next time try to go for longer - get your friends to help you and support you and throw away anything you would be tempted to hurt yourself with.

I used to talk to my leader, but now we seem nowhere near close and she doesnt trust me. if i told her what began this she'd never believe me. my doc is trying to get me help, but i know i need to see a christian psych not just a norm one, cus norm ones arent gonna help with how messed up this has made me spiritually.
Things have got worse in the last 24hrs, my dad has been arrested for assulting my mum, (which im sorry but shes exaggerating)hes been released tho. hes not allowed in my house which is killing me, im off school cus i feel so low. Im trying to distract myself so much, i just want someone sat with me now so i can just shout or scream or cry, and just be loved. i just want someone to love me atm.

ok loopi, you know i'm not into the whole sharing feelings stuff, but remember hun i do love you... Your my spiritual sister, and want to be there for you as much as possible, especially if you hurting...

i want to be there for you, and its failure of myself, that sometimes i feel i distance myself from you. Your are an amazing person, God shines out of you, and i dont want to bring your down with me. I've not yet found God completely, and i regret not being able to overcome that barrier.

I want you to know that i DO love you, and if you EVER need to chat phone, text... even in the middle of the night. If i'm hanging round with someone else, drag me away. Because i don't feel the same connection with them,as with you. i WANT to spend time with you, because you make me feel happy, and i want to do the same for you...

Love
Laura
