• 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 used to cut and now have a problem...how can I get rid of this "fear"? Everytime I hear cut, cutter, knife, glass, blade, sharps or even scars, I shake and can't concintrate. Will it go just go away with time or is there something I can do?
Why are you afraid? Are you afraid that you will cut again, that hearing these things gets the idea into your head again?
Fear that intense seems to me to be a sign that you need to talk to someone - either someone on this forum or at home. Do you have an adult in your life you can trust?
My prayers are with you. Do not be afraid!! With God's grace you can overcome. TN

Well, it will both go away in time and you can also try and help it. Maybe try and block these thoughts..Like when you hear the word blade, think of something else if the thought of cutting arises.
like texannurse said, maybe try talking to a trusted adult about it. Maybe talking about will help you get over this fear.

Be Not Afraid..God is with you Always!! God will help you through this struggle.

I shall pray for you

+God Bless+

I've never run into that problem before. Do you know why you are afraid? Maybe you can find a scripture verse to memorize that can help you not be afraid or give you comfort when the fear comes into your mind. And I agree w/ texasnurse you need to find a "safe" person you can talk with in real life. But of course keep talking to us perhaps we can help you sort it out a little in the meantime.

yes there is something you can do. it's probably a mild phobia, a fear that resides in your subconcious mind.

there are many ways to renew or reform one's subconcious mind.

there is a place within you that no fear can go and affect you, find this place and dwell and abide in it. this is called the secret place of the Most High. psalm 91

yes, you can do something about it.

it's probably a mild phobia, a fear hiding within your subconcious mind. there are many ways to deal with the fear. you can google how to do it. one is to consciously renew or reform your subconcious mind.

the kingdom of god is within you, david called it the secret place of the Most High. it is a palce no fear can enter and affect you. find it and dwell in it.
