• 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.

Hi Leechness
I'm sorry, that's horrible I know :-( I got into a situation where I had a craving to cut constantly, whatever the situation - and that is a really horrible place to be :-(

How are you doing today?

i managed to distract myself lastnight by visiting a friend and txting another friend for prayer. i followed through my craving 7 hrs ago, and now im not sure how i feel, confused prehaps.

my thoughts towards the release seems complicated by others knowing. i thought it was meant to be a good thing to have others know?....

Keep your self close 2 your friends & dont be alone.
Use your friends, not being alone. As a reason not to cut, every chance you get.

i thought that too...

but if they realise how often it can be on my mind id feel a nausense. plus theyre really busy atm and to distract them seems selfish.

i feel like a hypocript. one moment im convinced i dont see anything wrong with the act and commit it, then after a while i start to feel the complete opposite.

i dont even know fully what my motive is in writing on this forum. but thank you for your response.

it takes time to relise that its ok to turn to friends, & when u can get threw it just with Gods help.
Hang in there, I'm only just really understanding.
For now, try your best to remember your friends love you & their there to support you.
When you think that its ok to do that, remember thats the devil talking, trying to convice you to turn from God & His love for you.

Its good that even when u do you know why, you keep posting on here. It proves you want to beat this, even when you dont think you do.
Love & Prayer.

Please do not stop trying, sometimes it is two steps forward and three steps back for awhile until we get the hang of it but eventually it does become easier.... If you need to talk about anything you can PM me

I want to cut right now. I have had to give up something important to me and I don't like it but I didn't have much choice (details in blog). Also I'm worried, I've been re-accepted in my regions national team but in a different position, this position is a lot more stressful and harder than the one I had last year. Last year I ended up in hospital because I couldnt handle the stress and pressure, I'm just scared and worried that it will put me over the edge completly. I want to give up, but I also don't want to.

i am a failure, im very close to being hospitalize for my weight. i just want to cut to get back in control. what is the point of not cutting if it will make me feel like this. i didn't cut last night but im not sure i have the strength or the will power to fight this much longer.
