• 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.

You must be feeling very exhausted, frustrated and a little helpless right now. Reversing any bad habit is a challenging one but I can tell (from reading your post) that you are a fighter.

Coping skills are necessary to beat self-harm but do you have an accountability partner? Is there a place you can go that makes you feel safe and happy?

From my own personal experience I gave up self-harm by sheer self-discipline. However, I was assisted by my aunt and uncle who told me I was not allowed in my room during the afternoon or evening. When I was in my room, I had more temptation to hurt myself, so it really helped to avoid isolation as much as possible.

The fight to overcome self-harm is a painful one but victory will always come to those who expect it.

Please PM me if you need to! :groupray:

I know how hard it can be hun.
Really, I cant give you an answer to that b'coz I get to that point & its like, yea well. I tryed.
I guess something else is just to get on the phone or computer & talk it out. On here, to a friend w/e doesnt have to envolve your SI just having people to listen & whoe they care. You find things out about your self that way.
Hang in there hun! I love you! :D
