• 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 was 14 when i cut. that was almost 2 years ago. the reason why i did it was cause i thought i had lost everything. plus i didn't even know who i was half the time. i never really had a group of friends that i could always count on. the friends i did have i always felt like i was an outcast when i was with them. basically my life fell apart and the next best soulution from escaping my problems{besides sucide which i considered at times} was cutting. for all of u guys out there that have cut our r cutting and trying to recover i know exactly what u mean when u say it helps u to escape your pain. that's what it did for me.what i want to tell u though is it's o.k. u aren't worthless r completlly insane. u r loved even if ppl tell u that no one could love u. and while yes u shouldn't be doing it God or any person who really cares about u { not the ppl who only talk to u every once in a while.} i mean your true friends care about u too. sometimes they don't know how to express what they mean in love and so it might come out like they r lecutering u. but they do mean well. give them a chance. give God the chance to help u. tell Him what's going on. tell a friend u can trust about what's going on.this is the things i wish they would teach in schools. maybe then the pain wouldn't be so hard to deal with. cause this is stuff i wish i could of heard when i started. i hope this helps u.
