• 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 am so sick of geting blamed for all my stupid familys problems...I can't take it anymore...just once I wish they would say "I love you." or "good job Im proud of you for not being self distructive." but no...all I get is "why don't you just go kill yourself.", "your the reason our family is falling apart.", "Oh Lindsey needs to get her way or else she will go cut herself.", "Why don't you just leave, get out of here, do us all a favour."...and it just keeps going and going...I'm at my breaking point...a really close friend of mine died a few weeks back and he helped me stop S.I ..I'm finding it really hard to keep going...any advice would be nice.

Hi Hun :hug:,
I'm so sorry you get blamed for your family's problems - it can be really hard when that happens :(. A friend of mine passed away almost three weeks ago too. You must be going through such a rough time

.

If I'm allowed to ask, have you spoken to someone like a school counsellor about all that's been going on? They're often great to talk to and can help you find better ways to handle the pressures from home, school and life. While we can't offer counselling on here, we're also here to listen if you ever need to talk.

You'll be in my prayers and if you ever want to talk, my PM box is always open.

Shalom,
Steffi

Hey that's really harsh! It takes guts to give up cutting and to have your familiy making life hard for you in the meantime must be horrible. :cry: :hug:

I hope that you can find someone to talk to face to face about this. I'm sorry to hear that you're also had a bereavement. I pray that you will be able to lean on the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort [2 Cor 1:3] as you work through your grief.

May you know the Lord's peace that passes all understanding at this time.

hey gal... i know what it feels like and i don't always have advice but i can promise that i'll keep you in my thoughts, always. it's harsh and you may not always know what to do, but like it was suggested earlier, talk to someone like a school counselor. i used to refuse (i hate seeming weak) but trust me, it makes all the difference. keep strong, you can make it. just keep reminding yourself that there is more to life than this and it is waiting for you... just get there in one piece.

Yeap, I use to get blamed for everything. That was the only time I existed where I lived. The rest of the time is unspeakable. My heart goes out to you. Definitely get some outside help like the others said to do. Yes you can pm me as well. There is a trilogy of books that may help you understand your feelings and what is happening to you as well. I am reading them now. I wish I had them when I was your age. The first one is called, "A Child Called "It" by Dave Pelzer. You can get it real cheap through Amazon.com If you can't for some reason or other get it. I will be glad to do it for you. PM me if you need help and want this book.
Praying much for you. Because I know believe me I know...... mamalonglegs Ephesians 6:18 I Love You!

Ouch. That's really hurtful. I used to wish my family would say nice things to/about me. But I came to a realization that I couldn't change them. I had to find support and people to love me and say nice things about me from outside the family. Church youth group helped alot, so did some of my teachers.

Whenever possible surround yourself with positive people. And try not to believe the lies your family is telling you. Even scriptures can help....try reading the "you are god's little butterly post".
