• 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.

People have been really worried about me lately, and I keep telling them that I've stopped cutting, and that I'm ok.

Well I'm feeling so down right now. And the truth is that I still am cutting. And I can't seem to say it.
And I feel like a liar.

So last night when I cut. I didn't just make a cut
I cut the word 'liar' .


I can't even begin to say how messed up I feel, and that never in my wildest dreams would I have ever imaginged myself so screwed up...


I'm sorry to everyone that has left me encouraging words. I feel like I've failed everyone...

You've not failed. You're still posting here, and that's a sign you want/need support and encouragement. :hug: I understand how messed up you feel, even though you can't find the words to express it. I've been there. I've lied. Over and over again, in fact. But take this from someone who's been there - tell people, get help. They might be upset with you for a short while, but that's only because they're concerned. Cutting isn't a small deal, no matter how "everyday" and "common" it is. It's potentially deadly. And you don't want to have to rely on it, when it causes bigger problems than the ones you're trying to use it to solve.

:hug::hug: I'm here if you ever need to talk, gorgeous. Hang in there. And talk to someone in real life too.

I am sorry that you feel so bad right now. But, like soulwings said, you did NOT fail. You fell, but that does not make you a failure. Oh, I know the feeling of "letting people down". But, if they are people who really care, they will continue to support and love you, even when you fall.

I am so glad you are still coming on here for support. I know that this forum has helped me a ton to keep struggling to overcome this behavior. Praying that you will have the strength and courage to get up again and continue fighting!

God bless you! TN

Hey there,
I hear the negative self talk loud and clear. It just means you are still right on the battle field. And although you are still cutting and lying it doesn't mean it is time to give up. I believe we have all been there. I lied alot when I was cutting. How else can you keep your secret. I know it ifeels awful, the lying. I just want to leave you a verse:

"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" Phillipians 4:13

You see if you try to fight this battle with your own strength it is almost impossible. When you hand it over to God each and every time....well that's when you start to defeat the enemy.

We are here for you! NO matter what point in the struggle you are at. And we are not condemning because we understand!

I can't deal with any of this anymore...

Im so stressed out, and I feel like I don't have any real friends, and Im so scared that im going to end up alone.

Everyone hates me and I hate myself most of all.

I want this all to be over.
