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.

Did you manage to get onto him at all? And you mentioned you dont want to tell your boyfriend or friend because they might generalise it...is there a way you could tell them and explain that it isn't always like that? That you only struggle sometimes?ive been having so many issues lately(well..its mainly because i miss my best friend-whom is a priest). he moved to another parish a year ago and i barely see him. nor do i get to talk to him much because he is the head of his parish..so hes super busy.
he helped me stop cutting. but ever since he left, i felt urges to cut. i dont know what to do. its been over a year since i hurt myself. i only feel comfortable talking to him about it because i dont want to subject my new friends with it..nor my boyfriend. i figured they might feel thats my mindset all the time when it isnt(like make a generalization).
just pray for me i guess. i might try and call the priest tomorrow..hopefully he'll respond though.
You can do it Hun! Have you looked at the sticky we have in the SI forum called Things you can do to de-escalate and divert an emergency?i want to do it so bad right nowww its really hardd
You can resist it Katey. Do you have a safe spot in your house that you can go to where you know you wont hurt yourself?the thoughts are getting so strong tonight

life is harsh, and you never know what is going to be pulled out of the hat next. some people seem to get all the problems and strugles. others seem to have life perfect. no1 understands how or why this happens, and every1 wishes that had it better.
Why was I delt the problems and struggles. Everything just seems to go wrong and I can't fix it and I can't make it go away, the only thing I have control over is whether I live or die, whether I cut or not.

Hi all. It's been a while since I've been in here. Things are really rough right now. I don't want to cut (my therapist would kick me out) but the urges get stronger and stronger and I'm afraid to tell him. So, I am alone with no one to talk to. Way too hard to handle. I'm off to take a nap. Maybe some sleep will keep me going.
