• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi, I'm-revived,
sorry for the belatedness of the reply - i just noticed that no one had replied to this yet. I think it makes a difference that people take the time to read and respond to the posts here.

I feel like cutting but I think I'll try and study instead, at least I'll kind of feel productive...:sigh:

Still struggling.

I'm revived...this thread has helped me to hold off sometimes. Which eventually means sometimes i don't follow through. I just say that I'll atleast wait for a reponse before I do anything...sometimes that is enough to get through the moment.

Still fighting the temptation and trying really hard to stop "planning" for my "slip up" (unfortunately I have all the details worked out - like a security blanket in case I need it). BUT I don't want to mess up again! I've come too far to start over again. I wish I could just walk away from the urges and desires and all that goes with cutting. But, I realize that a habit of 5+ years won't go away overnight:)

Praying for everyone struggling tonight! TN
