• 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.

This is crazy.

So, I'm giving a speech on self-injury for my speech class tonight. It is STRESSING ME OUT.... it is actually stressing me out enough that I want to cut.

How ironic.

I'm not going to. The speech says I haven't cut in over two months, and when I stand up in front of the class, that is GOING to be true.

I don't feel like I need to cut... it's not an overwhelming urge to self injure.

It's just that I need a feel-better. From somewhere - anywhere!

I don't want to cut again after four months free, but if it helps me feel better, or at least sleep, it might be worth it.

I'm losing it lately. All I want to do is cut. I'm overwhelmed with stress. I feel so far from everyone. I'm so lonely lately. I just don't want to live like I have been anymore. I need friends. I need to be healthier so I can take care of my home. It feels like every time I turn around there's something new wrong with my body. Sometimes I feel like it's God punishing me for being such a bad person when I was young.

I had the urge earlier but I just had a shower and it made me feel better. Been stressed over the last two days
Do you feel like your head just gets so full - kind of like this massive pressure. Hope your OK

Thank you. Yes i am feeling better. Had a good cry last night as well and talked to someone and I feel so much better.
I keep a journal and write in it and do pictures around it. Have you thought of doing something like that?

Staying with a friend second night. Really horrible self injury urges. Been quite a few years since a hard relapse but I really feel like if I did go home I would fall hard. Trying to get my intelligent mind back but I feel shut down. :(
