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.

You may be in lots of peoples prayers, but are you doing it yourself? If so, keep it up. The worst thing you can do is give in. If you do, who won? Remember the Apostle Paul? He went through an awful lot as a Christian. He was beaten, whipped, stoned, shipwrecked 3 times and so on. Once whould be enough for most people. Yet he had an affliction that he wanted removed. The Bible doesn't reveal what it was, but Paul prayed for it to be removed.I cant do this.
every single night get harder.
& i dont have much will power left to keep fighting.
Never going to beat this
I have just done it after not doing it for 4 yrs... the urge is strong and I keep calling to God to give me strength to resist and I am at a bad place and I want to do more than cut but really slice myself open and I know it is because of the darkness inside, because of the abused me. I have pushed it to the back of my mind for 4 yrs as I couldn't live with knowing what was done to me, and now is the time to try again and resolve my pain.. for I need to in order to be free in Jesus, free to be vulnerable again, free to trust.
I just hurt
*hug* I know what it feels like to be alone, but you are never trully alone. And there are people who do care about you and want to help you get through this - God, friends and I am sure many people here including me.I'm tired... of everything... of trying to stay postive, of distacting, of feeling so alone.
I'm triggered beyond belief because of my EDNOS diagnoses today, I feel sick, dizzy. I knew I shouldn't have taken those laxitives.Oh I hope something bad doesn't happen.
I just want to give up. I mean God doesn't really care if I self injure, right?
I just feel so alone and I hate that feeling.
I just want to be a happy normal 19 year old girl? Why can't I be happy?
Hun, I know how easy it is to run, its all i do too.Thanks Kristen,
I don't know what to do apart from run away from everything..but i can't
There is nothing worse than being made to feel guilty and judged and almost convicted. It's an unreal situation. There you are feeling down and someone makes you feel even lower. No wonder you feel suicidal. But take a step back. Why are you in this situation? Or rather how did it get to this situation? Only you know.I hate feeling like this. So alone and hopless. My mom confronted me about my eating disorder last night. Told me that I was being selfish and hurting everyone in my family. She made me feel incredibly guilt and disgusting. I wanted to cut so much I was even suicidal at one point.
I just ate fast food, and I can't purge I don't have the privacy so I now I feel like I have to cut.
Why is this so hard?
thanks AllyHun, I know how easy it is to run, its all i do too.
but just hang in there.
the temptations will go. even if you have to wait for morning, then you can do life again. without having to hide & be ashamed.
try to face little things, like if you work, your customers & co-workers. if you have an argement with a friend, fix it. if you face the little things, it'll be easier to face the bigger problems.
this wont go on forever.
love & prayer.

Mum informed me last night that while my grandparents ( house live in a granny flat in the backyard) are on their road trip around australia, she will be living @ her bfs. she'll bring us food & to yell at me about whatever she feels like yelling at me today about but thats it, other then that. she wont be around. although thats a lot like what happens now, its going to be worse.
