I have purple and black bruises on my legs from driving punches into them as hard as I can.

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.

Thank you Criada dear, I don't know why I do this. I don't know why it feels so gratifying to cause myself pain. I am a nothing and a nobody in the worlds eyes. So many people have been physically violent towards me in my lifetime. So I am agreeing with the world that I deserve to be struck and hit. But the Lord says that I have been bought with a price of Jesus' precious blood, so I don't belong to myself anymore. I belong to God now, which makes my sin even worse because I am damaging His property when I strike myself with intent to injure.

And His grace is big enough to forgive... again and again, as many times as it is needed.
I cut myself, and I feel condemned every time... and yet every time He lifts me up again, cleans me off, and makes it ok again.
he loves you, Tom. He doesn't like you hurting yourself, not because it's sinning against you, but because he hates to see you hurt. I know it's hard, but you can get past this... and so can I.
Praying for you, dear brother.

I wonder if we can see anything, that may expose somewhere for the Glorious light of the Gospel to shine?
Agree w/ our Lord that He has been struck and hit quite enough to put the final stop to sin, which is death. Decide to bury sin, with Him in burial.
Most importantly, realize this much is His finished work, requiring nothing further from us. Indeed, we are quite powerless to contribute; it is His realm, not ours. The only thing we have in common with Him is sin, and only because he willingly became sin for us. That is our only access, but we need to follow Him.
Easier said than done. You and I have different areas that trip us up but the same root problem, which is losing sight of this powerful Truth. I don't know if any of that helps you at all, but at least it gives you something positive to think on, and perhaps from a new perspective?
