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.

please dont do it. you have so much to offer, no one wants to see you hurt yourself!i really feel like doing it right now. There's no one else home.
i feel so bad, i don't know what to do with myself
Hi HolyOnemaybe talk things out with people. You might just need a friend to talk to..to get through each tough time.
Thats what i needed. I made a vow with a priest in my parish that if i wanted to cut,to call him and he'd talk with me to try and keep me calm and try and help me think differently.
Maybe find a friend whose close enough that you can do that with. It can help heavily at times...just the thought that someones there is nice to know.
I hope you will be okay.
Hi HolyOne
Yeah my "mum" who is a minister at my church and i have a similar deal...i'm meant to call her no matter what time of the day or night it is...but she's away on holidays at the moment and i can't ring her cos she needs a holiday so badly and if i tell her that i've been cutting then she'll really worry about me and she'll get all upset. I've promised her that i wouldn't cut, but i already have 3 times since she's been away cos i feel so alone...like i know all you girls are here, but i need a hug...that's why i need my "mum" cos she makes me feel safe...i hate myself for even missing her...sorry for cluttering up the forum. i just want to die.
luv CA
