• 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.

:cry: i need to cut. i just realised how horrible i really am. i hate me :cry:


You aren't horrible, you are loved, a wonderful creature made in God's image. You just have to look past all the stuff and see what God sees, what others see. You can overcome!

Brokenwings, you're in my prayers. Stregnth Lord! Stregnth to overcome those urges!!!

Arianna -- you're a child created by God! As a Christian, I'm taking it upon myself to remind you of that. There's no way that you can be horrible if you're created by God the Father Himself. Stay strong!

Here's my update post guys. I made it through the night without SI-ing. I'm so greateful to God and also to those that sent mt PM's responding to my post. It's never easy, but I'm gaining confidence that God wants me to overcome this. I know it's in His will, and I claim it.

I just need to get better about doing that whenever I get depressed. It's hard though.

I'm alright now. I didnt give in.

Just a thing for you guys,
This is a major deterent for me..
I went shopping with my friend yesterday & got 2 new tops.
They are the best!
Both have short sleeves.
So I'm determend not to cut b'coz I really really love the tops.
I'm also really wanting to loose more weight so one of them looks nicer with jeans.

So if you need something to keep your mind on.
Try that!

My scars are making me really mad.
Like they make me wanna cut, trigger me.
They look worse then the cuts them selves.
I know you can get vitamin e cream to get rid of them but I dont know how much it is & I'm scared to go & buy it.


My scars use to make me not wanna cut b'coz as long as the scars weren't faiding, I was fine. but now. I hate my self everytime I see them.
I just wanna wear short sleves without having to cover my arm in foundation & braclets while I'm out, then still being so scared that someone will notice.
