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 tired of being on edge...I can't make the feeling like I need to stop. I just can't. I'm barely hanging on here.

greetings lovely peepers 
... we just had a thought about triggering posts, graphically detailed, and/or seemingly promoting this struggle (we know no one wants to sound this way). we thought we should let you know about our descussion. we have decided that on these public support threads; you should not post anything *triggering*... because unlike seperate threads marked for their *triggers*... these would be too difficult to avoid; and this is also your crisis thread, where it may be too much for another to be around even small *triggers*.
also, staff wants to love you all. bless your hearts. continue to reach out. there is strength in standing together. and let us know if you need us to help you find any of your local or web resources. just pop any of us a pm. ~ we are here to lift you up in friendship and prayers. ~ love staff

I really just want to do it. I haven't done it in a long time. All I am is a SAHM. What good do I do? I feel like what I do is not important. I have no identity. 
I used to be strong. I feel weak.

You are one of the biggest influences your daughter will ever have HunI really just want to do it. I haven't done it in a long time. All I am is a SAHM. What good do I do? I feel like what I do is not important. I have no identity.
. SAHMs have the most important job there is in looking after our future.Having said that, have you looked at doing some other things if you have time? Maybe volunteer at a shelter once a week or have a random conversation with someone who's feeling down. There are things in this world that you are the perfect person for - sometimes it just takes time for find them. You have worth Hun

Feel like cutting now. It has been so long. I don't want to ruin their night by talking to them about this. It has been over a month. I'm getting to move back to Houston and everything. Why now? It doesn't seem fair. What's wrong with me?

Peace, be still and know that I am God.
I am the light of the world.
I am the salt of the earth.
I am part of the true vine.
I am righteous and holy...
I am allowed to make mistakes.
I have no shame. My sins are forgiven and everything else is NOT my fault.
I am a beautiful child of God.
I am an heir to God's throne.

I command you demon of self-destruction in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to get away from me and never return.
For I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

God's thoughts to me are countless as the sand of the seashore. He will never leave me nor forsake me. He will one day wipe every tear from my eyes.
I don't have to avoid my feelings...
It hurts to feel them.

I won't avoid my feelings. I will recognize them but reaffirm the truth.
I am worthless... I am not. I am a child of the most high God.
I am stupid... I am very smart. I graduated in the top 5% of my class.
I can't make it on my own... I can do ALL things through Him who strengthens me.
It was all my fault... I am not to blame. I was young and that was not my fault.
I need to hurt myself... I do not. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. God loves me very much and does not want to see me hurt myself...

"For you formed my inward parts; you wove me in my mother's womb; I will GIVE THANKS to You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works and my soul knows it very well; My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret and skillfully wrought in the lowest depths of earth. Your eyes have seen my unformed substance, and in Your book were all written, the days that were ordained for me when as yet there was not one of them." Psalm 139:13-16
I CAN and WILL get through this. I CAN and WILL get through this. I CAN and WILL get through this. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
I CAN and WILL get through this. I CAN and WILL get through this. I CAN and WILL get through this. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

I command you demon of self-destruction, low self-esteem, depression, fear, doubt, whatever is there in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, by His shed blood on the cross to get away from me and never return.

I feel better now. I had to calm down. I am a little stressed with everything. And then I kind of got in an awkward situation tonight before we went to see a movie. I told them I was trying to save for Houston because I thought it was that $9 showing. But it was $6.50 and when they said that, I went. But what is $3? They didn't make me go, but I said yes even though I really didn't want to. I just wanted to sleep... but I went on like my feelings didn't matter.
And yesterday at work, I dropped a can of Ragu all over the floor. It was such a mess.
And I guess with the stress, I'm moving to Houston I found out, I have to find a good nursing home for Mom and transfer her, find a job, and stay with my sister for the first time in my life and I don't want to lose more family like I did my aunt because of stupid feelings such as these.
My feelings are not stupid for I am a creation of God.

I know I shouldn't be this affected by Steph and Rach's death. I know they wouldn't want me to cut because of it. And yet? I did. I've let them down. I feel like cutting more... but I don't know if I can handle the guilt and shame.
I don't know how else to get relief from this.

bless your hearts.
you can practice stopping yourself. when i was stopping, i use to call the crisis line and get help talking myself out of those tempting sensations. DBT thereaphy really helped too. maybe you can ask your doctor about it. xo dee
