• 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.

i feel so bad, i don't know what to do with myself

maybe 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. :hug:

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

hey,
like Kathleen said, dont be sorry. We all care about you deeply here! I know how it is to want a hug from the person who helps you..i pretty much want one a lot from the person who helps me. And at times i dont see him, i feel like im falling apart. But, i always remember and look forward to the time I see him again. That makes me feel better(pretty much) and for a while I will be like, "i cant wait to see him!" or "i cant wait to tell him things"..and so on. Look forward to the time she comes back, and not so much on the time she isnt there. maybe that will help you get through it. :hug:

I've felt so alone the past couple of days. I've really been struggling. I'm so tired and numb. I just wanna cry until there's an inch of tears on the floor and give in to hurt myself until I drift off to sleep and not wake for days until things are better.
:(
I wish I had a friend offline to give me a hug.

hi,
right now I want to do it so much!
This week has been so busy, I've been in so many places where there are too many people for my liking, mostly at the practices, and the whole few hours I'm there, it feels like everyone is just staring at me, so this makes me feel so uncomfortable! They used to not be this bad, going there, but since my SI came back, everything is just a horrible time. The whole time all I can think of is going to the bathroom on the break and doing a cut. Then when I start thinking of this, I make mistakes, because I'm not concentrating, and it feels like people will look more because of this :o . Then people start to talk to me, and I don't know what to say, because I hate talking in front of people, not wanting to say something weird, so I look stupid. It's like a never ending circle, getting worse as it goes on.
I also have to take the bus in the mornings, and sit in the front where there are the only seats left, and it feels like everyone is looking at me, so the same thing happens.
Right now I don't care what people say, I just want to do one, I don't care what happens.
Please help me :help:
