• 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.

Hey you all I know that sometimes it helped me when I felt like cutting to go call someone instead and talk for a while. usually by the end of our conversation I had completely forgotten what I was about to do and wouldn't remember until the next morning.
So the next time you feel like cutting come to this thread and start to talk or pm me! We really need to talk and support one another it helps A LOT!!!!

i don't know about Australia, but in the UK you can get special plasters that encourage healing in most larger chemists. There are also scar treatments available but these take some time to work. Are your cuts of a size that you could get some really good waterproof plasters?

You cannot turn off your brain so that you wouldn't have all these thoughts. But you can give your thoughts to Jesus and ask him to take care of your thoughts. For instance, you may want to say, "Jesus, take all my thoughts. I want to have the thoughts that you want, and I don't want to have the thoughts that you don't want."

I am praying for you right now.

:hug:s Thanks for your prayers guys- I didn't cut last night, even though I really felt like it. I try saying that prayer for Jesus to take away my bad thoughts all the time, but it never seems to work. I know that's my fault, but I don't really know what to do.
I cannot contain my joy because you didn't cut last night. You in Jesus won last night. It counts. Every little moment of victory in Jesus counts. Every fall on the other hand, once repented, does not count. Remember this principle.

Asking Jesus to take away bad thoughts is the beginning. You said it never seemed to work. I will explain to you why. It is not your fault. You were standing at the starting point, not knowing where to go. No one showed you your next move.

(I will continue in a while)
