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.

Keep resisting it Midight! You don't have to hurt yourself.ugh...over a year since i stopped and i still feel like cutting...work was horrible, everyone in bad moods, i'm tired and stressed and lonely...sigh.
I don't want to start the cycle again.... =(
*hugs*Really badly right now. My family's away, and my brother hasn't been home since they left. I don't know where he is. When I call him he says he's 'out' and hangs up on me.
So I've been home alone for about 5 days.
I worry all the time out of habit... like what if someone breaks in? I'll be all by myself.....![]()
Don't know why but last night I slipped into one of my dark moods again. I painted my arm a bit last night... It's gone now but I think if I can easily keep from hurting myself if I don't have anything happen to trigger me until it passes.
So hopefully today'll go ok and I don't do anything I shouldn't if something goes wrong. :-/
Thanks. I haven't hurt myself yet.i hope things will be good today for you lazeywinde...![]()
*Hugs* It takes a lot of courage to live with anxiety... I've had times where I've felt like my anxiety was gonna kill me. But it can get better... Just gotta hang in there I guess.I really don't want to go down this road again. I've only ever had two episodes in my life really, they were intense, but I feel the times are becoming closer together. I'm starting to be afraid of nothing and of myself. I know I won't kill myself. The wish to be free of it all is much less than my fear of the mighty God. But I don't want to end up with another set of burns on my flesh. I also don't want to end up drinking too much nyquil. But if I don't drink it, I won't sleep. My anxiety will destroy me. I don't feel that the urge is enough to get help. I guess really I just don't want my parents to find out or my friends. I've been seeing a counselor, but still...it's not really helping much. I just can't hardly take it. I want to sleep for years. I want to wake up when the pain is gone. Some nights it just feel like too much. That's it. That's it. Please just send me a message, post a message...anything, anything at all. I'm so sick and tired of this. Just sick and tired of it all.
