• 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.

Hi been struggling in this area.:( Now im permently wearing an elastic band round my wrist and when I feel really low, I use it. Been doing this for last couple of months.
Sometimes I post when I really feel like I want to hurt myself.:(
I dont know how I got to the point where I had to start doing this really.
Like I have to protect myself from me. I hide it away, I wear it when I go work and if it slips down I quickly pull it up cos i dont want anyone to notice. I dont feel that no one understands in real life U know how I really feel. So I dont really talk to anyone about it really. :(When everything gets too painful I start, u know like circumstances in your life that hurt you know. I guess its just a constant reminder that my life hurts.:(

i know how you feel, about nobody realy caring. i felt the same way for years. what really helped me was i went to counsiling with my pastors wife. and i really started to feel loved by her then by so many more people in my life, it also gave me some one to hold me accontable, to ask me how i am doing (and as more then just a greeting).

God made you, so don't be ashamed of what God made.

You're a beautiful, precious person. Don't be ashamed of yourself.

I know what you mean by having to hide it away. And it's ok to feel that way, but it's also good that you can come and talk to people here.

God bless you!

Oh, Jo. :hug: I know exactly how you feel, like no one understands. It's a really horrible feeling, but, You have to try to rely on God(I am speaking to myself, too) I know, you want to deal with it by yourself and you don't want anyone to know, but, you have to get help somehow. Go see a counselor, talk to your Pastor, just do something to help yourself, please? :hug:

I am praying for you, sweetie. :hug: :hug:
