• 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'm so stupid and useless :cry: i need to cut :cry: i deserve to be hurt


You are a daughter of the most High

Loved and valued by Him, and many others

No one deserves to be hurt, whether by themselves or another.



I can't keep going for ever tho:cry:

How about one step at a time. Try and work on getting through the next hour, even half an hour when you make that goal, give yourself a mental pat on the back, and then set another time, perhaps an hour or hour and a half.

When things are really bad, its easy to get lost in the associated despair and to not be able to see the wood for the trees. However one small step at a time, its important to set small goals, that you know you can accomplish


There maybe most likely times when you hit speed bumps, however its important to realise that they are just that, speed bumps, and just because you hit one, it doesnt make your other progress any less valid or awesome achievement.


You can do it, just remember, small steps at a time:hug:

Thank you all SO MUCH! It means more to me than you probably know right now.

As for what's been happening, well, it's hard to explain...my mood swings are making me difficult to deal with...the people I love haven't told me, but I know it is. I just wish I could stop...but I can't. And it hurts worse than burning does.

I know that I can overcome it, but the urge can be really strong...like, really strong. I guess I can elaborate more via PM, it's really to personal to post publically.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and words.

Arianna and Katey, please hang in there. Arianna, I saw that you'd made it a year without SI, that is FANTASTIC! You have so much to be proud of. And Katey, I remember you responded to my survey in the BPD subforum, and I can tell that you are a fabulous person who deserves nothing but happiness. BPD is a monster, and you seem to be dealing with it with maturity and grace. That is wonderful.

Love to all.
~Hallie
