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.

Wrongi really need to cut, but i know i can't...i hate myself so much...i'm no good for anything.
if its not too personal what are you doing tomorrow?Right now I feel like doing it so much... I'm just nervous about tomorrow, because I hate going to places with lots of people. And every Saturday
I really hope I don't before morning.
Can you go for 30mins with out doing it?It's getting hard to fight the urge...i want to SI so badly...i know i shouldn't but i do...it's overwhelming and i feel so alone. i'm sorry.
i don't know, i can't think...i want to hurt myself so badly...trying to stop myself just makes me want to do it more, the only thing i can really do is take a high dose of valium or something to knock me out......i can't handle this...i miss my "mum" soooo much...i hate myself for letting myself get close enough to someone that i would actually miss them....i know i'm so stupid. i'm sorry.Can you go for 30mins with out doing it?
When you make 30mins try to not do it for an hour. Then two and so on. I apologise if it seems overly simplistic I know for me when things were really bad, Ihad to aim for 30mins at a time in the worst moments but when I made 30mins I went for an hour. Sometimes I slipped, and SI'ed but alot of the times I was able to go for longer and longer periods of time
You can do it, praying for God to hold you close in this difficult time![]()
