• 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.

Sorry to hear that Jaydin. Can you try to think about the concert instead of everything else? Or find something else to distract you for a while?

Or even is there someone you can talk to about it all? If not, and you still can't get your thoughts out maybe try writing for a while. I have found just sitting and writing or typing all my thoughts and emotions can help me to think clearly again.

Gods a million miles away, dont even know what i believe right now.
my friends gonna try to find me a councellor, she gonna ask my corp officer (salvo word for pastor) if he knows any good female councellors & see where that takes us.
im scared but i guess its the right step.
just dont know about anything any more. all i know is im hurting really bad.

Maybe trying a counselor is a good idea if you are ready Hun. It might help

Sweetie, you can get through this. I know it hurts now but I promise it won't always be like this.

Getting some support could be a really good idea Hun . If you're looking at counselling, just make sure that you find a counsellor you feel comfortable with...it's ok to 'shop around' if you need to (any good counsellor won't be offended if you connect better with someone else).

Stay safe Ally and know we're always here if you want to talk .

Very tempted today. Slipping back into 'old habits' which are a huge detriment currently.

Hi ive been struggling with this area since beginning of this year. I think partly it was due to just feeling incredibly depressed. I lost all my friends, which is how it felt also stuff in church just came to a stand still. I think it probably started there, and just feelin so incredibly lonely. even my husband doesnt know my struggles. Also have not really found anyone here, where i live i can open up too. Ive never actually hurt myself, yet. But I know at times I really get to the edge of it. Ive been posting in depression. But my posts have been edited there, in case it triggers someone else off which I understand. I feel like i want to cut, so often perhaps its a self hate thing I dont know. Im getting counselling though not christian. I would apreciate it if anyone could give me any advise or help, or prayer thanks.

Hey, I'm new, but I've been lurking these threads for quite awhile... Anyway, I've just got back from my therapist and I really want to SI. I used to cut, but now I use a rubber band and it leaves marks. I guess it's not supposed to leave bruises or whatever, I don't know, but she didn't believe it was a rubber band. So now she thinks I'm being abused or something. Also I just hate talking about the deep issues and all that. Therapy is so painful, I want to SI everytime it's over. Anyone else feel this?

Doubt I'll make the night, came home from youth group to find my brother found the key to my room & was wearing my formal dress again.
It sounds stupid but it hurts.

Oh sweetie Sorry to hear that. And it doesn't sound stupid! If it upsets you it is definitely not something that should be ignored

Been a while since I posted in this thread.
This past week has been pretty hard and I was tempted several times to do something.
I was able to fight the urges and found other ways to take my mind of this.
