• 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'm a christian but I feel like I'm completely evil, like nothing I do has any pure motives at all. I know I'm saved so that's not an issue.
I want to cut myself so all the bad <staff edit> can come out.

I'm really lonely too and don't have anybody in real life who I can speak to now.

Hi there!
my heart goes out to you, for i know what its like to be lied to!you are NOT evil, you have been made blameless by the blood of Jesus!the lies that you are evil are just that- lies!your feelings are not stronger than Gods truth, no matter how overwhelming they may feel, God is still in control and can still pull you out of your depths!for me, reading the Psalms are a huge help against the lies that im evil and that God wont help me. Let me know how you doing!Praying for you.:)

YOU ARE NOT EVIL. That is not just being nice that is a fact, It can not be deputed. I know I am young but I have had a lot of experience with this in my few years and I can tell you that if you completely reject that one statement you will see the world get a bit brighter literally. I did and not I yell at myself that it is not true whenever I feel like it is,I literally yell.
I need someone to talk to so PM me any time and I will be happy to meet someone who I can talk to.

I have to slightly disagree with everyone else. We're all evil. We all want to do bad things, it's only with Christ's help that we can even begin to see how evil we are, because compared to the One that is holy, perfect, and without blemish we all fall short of the glory of God. But with His help we can make the right choices-the ones that glorify His name! As a cutter I know that it doesn't make anything better in the long run, it's just a temporary fix. A band-aid on a situation we don't want to deal with right at the moment, but everything has to be dealt with at some time or another. And if we didn't have sorrow and trials, how would we know what joy feels like? You have to take the good with the bad.

When the urges comes they are so hard to fight off. I know, been there, and just a few weeks ago. The bad stuff won't come out. Just more pain and misery. Such a horrible cycle it is. Praying.

I know how being lonely can really mess with your mind as I was alone for years, developed many bad habits and still have some. I found ways to make me feel more pure which helps me with the rest of the day. Things that make me feel pure would be reading the bible, listening to preaching over the Internet, or listening to Christian music. Always helps for me
