• 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.

Thanks. I haven't hurt myself yet.
I seem to have three stages as far as my self harming goes... First stage I'm more or less ok, not too anxious, angry or depressed. My second stage, my dark mood, seems to come out of nowhere. I'll be agitated, sometimes anxious, irritable, angry, depressed and think about hurting myself more than is healthy. When I decide to move anything I can use to hurt me away from myself. Then my third stage is when I'm triggered, mad as a hot place and have a hard time caring about anything and only want to satisfy the urge. That's when I usually wind up giving in. :-/ Sometimes something will really tick me off and I'll skip from stage one to three... My temper is not a good one.
But so far I've been going between stages one and two, not quite settling on either but at least I'm not triggered...

yup, I will pray that God gives you the strength to overcome this..and that you do not hit stage three. :hug: *many hugs*:hug:
