• 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, I have been a member on the forums for a while, but I just found this part. I have been a cutter for several months now. I don't know exactly why I started, I have had your average life, bumpy here and there, but overall I am or was a fairly happy person. I guess I just have to high of standards for myself, because every time I got mad I would cut. Well I told someone before I started cutting, and they just brushed me off, so I started cutting, and went to that person again, and she was just like well I am going to tell your mom. She never did. I also told some of my close friends, but they didn't help me much. so I stopped for a while, then started again. one night I was just mad at the world, and I cut a little deep, and it scared me, so I decided to tell someone different as a last chance. below is a copy of the email he sent back to me.


He was actually the first person to be blunt with me, and for that I am eternally grateful, because I have made the decision to never cut again, and I am going to do something with my life, I want to counsel teens who struggle with SI, and suicidal thoughts.
