• 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.

yeah so i want to
i made a mistake and feel so bad about it i want to get away from how bad i feel

Sorry you're feeling so bad, sweetie.
Try not to beat yourself up - I know it's hard, but we all make mistakes - you're human :hug:
Cutting seems like it will help now - but try to remember how you feel afterwards.. it doesn't make make things better, does it?

You can get through this, sweetie - praying for you :hug:

I hate/appreciate that the only thing stopping me from hurting myself is the fact I don't want to start yet another year where people I have known for less than a month are suddenly aware that i'm "one of those". I hate/appreciate that I'm frustrated that my access to preferred items for causing the hurt is restricted. I hate/appreciate the fact that recent infections have made me wary of doing anything involving skin breaking.

I just hate the fact part of me is screaming that it doesn't matter if I give in anyway, if I do or if I don't if anyone found out they'd brand me as attention seeking. Attention seeking for going through with it, attention seeking because I didn't, attention seeking because sometimes I wish I could talk about wanting to do something as casually as they talk about going out and getting incredibly drunk.

I just wish I didn't want to hurt myself so much and so often.

I am stuck in a boarding school and now it seems i have offended someone with something i didn't mean to say. I am really worried that they will speed it round that i have said stuff i don't remember saying. Please pray this situation. Is resolved with all remaining at last a little friendly cause i have to live with these people for the next two years and i don't think i can take being hated anymore than i am already cause they already ignore me completely and i hate it. I can't take much more and i feel like if i am ignored much more i will fade out of the world completely. PLEASE PRAY

I'm not a cutter, but rather a puncher. I'm ready to start pounding punches onto myself this moment. I'm in a foul, angry mood. It's getting hard to control it, punching myself hard seems like the only relief. But I'm still dizzy a lot from the head punches I gave myself a month ago.

I'm feeling very unstable in the past hour or so. In that amount of time, I have gone from feeling rageful and wanting to punch myself, to laughing out loud in giddyness for no reason. I went from rageful to giddy for no apparent reason. I punched myself in the chest a couple of times an hour ago. That isn't good, but it's better than punching to the head.

It feels so hard holding onto both mine and my friend's pain...i almost cut 2 days ago cuz of so much frustration, anger, stress, heart ache, memories. I havent cut in almost 2 months though, so im happy bout that, but its getting so hard to stay away from doing it again.
I'm scared to tell some people as i dont want to hurt them, i've told my mom of my constant depression, and then when i try to make a choice ash gives me the negatives. I just feel like she doesnt want me to do anything with my life, or she is trying to confuse me.

anyways, please pray i have the strength not to do it, cuz its so tempting to just end it all, thanks x

It's really hard right now, I thought I was over it and could stop this destructive behaviour. I'm shaking as I write this, I'm not strong enough to give it up, I'm going to try and get through the night without giving in.

It's a journey, sweetie. You are strong enough - you are doing so well! There will be bumps in the road, but that's all they are, it doesn't mean the journey is over.
Praying for you, sister - hang in there!!
