• 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.

:sigh: forgotten why stopping this is a good idea. I guess i had better go to sleep until i remember.

..and, is it even possible to just ...stop...or i wonder if i am busy deluding myself.
Ari, you're not deluding yourself Beautiful :hug:. You can beat this, but only you can know your own reasons Hun. You really can do it though! :clap:

I feel so frustrated tonight I really wanna do it. I'm about to start punching holes in the wall.
Hun, you can fight this :hug:. Is there someone you could talk to or call? What about breaking some sticks (it's more effective then it sounds, I promise) or even doing some sort of physical exercise? I know it's late, but even just some crunches or push-ups.

I also want you to know that someone on the other side of the world is praying for you in this LazeyWinde - I have faith in you Hun. You can beat this :hug:. If you want to talk too, I'm only a PM away.

I'm trying crushing an empty water bottle but its not helping much. If it wasn't dark and cold out I might try finding some sticks to break. :( I'm looking at my walls trying to find a soft spot so I don't wind up hurting myself. I'm thinking of holding a pillow against the wall and beating the feathers out of it.

The friends I'm used to talking to about self harm have so many problems of their own they hardly hear me... they're used to leaning on me and it's like they've forgotten that I'm a self harmer too...

The pillow sounds like a good idea Hun. Better it than you :hug:.

I'm not a self-harmer, but I'm always here to listen Hun. You really are stronger than the urge LazeyWinde - you can beat this :hug:.

REally feeling the urge today. Been a horrible day so far and I so don't even care about recovery right now. I hate these deep holes I get into. I want out by cutting - it's quick and easy. I don't feel like dealing with the pain inside. But all that is is running away - again. Something else I don't want to do. AARGH! Very frustrated right now.
