• 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 have a thread a couple months ago called 'trouble at home'. i used to cut preety often. but i stopped once i found my home in god. for a couple of years i have known this guy named ryan. he was my boyfriend for almost two months a while ago. he was big on smoking, drinking, and especially cutting. his mom passed when he was seven and his step mom isnt the best person in the world. his dad isnt either. i still care a great deal about him.

i was out of town a couple of weeks ago and all of a sudden i got this really bad feeling that i needed to call ryan; that something was wrong with him. i called him and i could immediately tell that something was seriously wrong. i talked to him the week before and he told me that he had cut him self preety deep on both his arms and his chest. he wouldnt tell me why. when i called him a couple weeks ago, after i had the bad feeling, he sounded the same as he had before. i knew he had been cutting. when i asked him if he was all right, he wouldnt answer me. when i started talking to him about him and suicide, he hung up the phone. i tried calling back but his brother was covering for him. his brother has done that for him several times before. someone else, who was with me, called him again and his mom answered. she told the person who called to back off and that he was fine. she didnt really care last time he attempted suicide. we didnt think this time would be any different. i was so worried about him. i ended up calling the cops and giving them his address.

the cops called ryans mom and then she called me. she called me to cuss me out. she told me i was overreacting, and i was a drama queen. she had several other choice words for me. i hung up on her in attempt to stop the yelling. she wouldnt stop yelling at me.

ryan and his mother lied to the cops. i guess you could say his mom covered for him. he called me after the cops were gone and told me that he never wanted to talk to me again. i was speechless. he hung up on me. his mom blocked my number. i have no way of getting a hold of him. i talked to several of his other friends who knew of the 'situation' and they wont call him. they think hes doing all of this for attention. i know for personal experience that you wont cut that bad for attention. you just dont do that. i dont know if hes okay. i dont know what to do anymore. his other friends wont help me. its like im the only one whos worried about him. i now him beter than he knows himself. i care about him so much.

what do i do

wow, that's a hard situation to be in. i guess the only thing to do is trust the Lord to take care of him. pray for him and maybe send him a letter. BUT, wait a few weeks to send it. let them cool off and get back to normal. i'm sure it shocked them to hear the police on the phone.

i so responded to this yesterday!!

ok, this is the basis of what i said. give his family a while to cool off. i'm sure they were taken off guard when they heard the police on the phone. after a few weeks maybe think of sending him a letter. over all! keep praying for him and try trusting the Lord with his full care. i'm having to do that with a friend of mine right now. it's not really that great, but the Lord does promise that he's in control and he's sovereign. :hug:

a couple of nights ago i was at a festival, just hanging out with some friends and i saw ryan. he was with a group of people he calls friends smoking weed. he was high enough to try to sell me some. he had a whole pill bottle full. dont worry i didnt buy any. i could see the scars and fresh cuts on his arms. im so scared that hes at a point now that he cant come back from. he was sober for the longest time. until just a few weeks ago he didnt smoke, drink, cut or anything. but for some reason that all changed. i dont know what to do anymore. i talked to one of my youth leaders and he said to just leave it alone. i know that thats what i need to do but its so hard to just leave it alone. ive had a really bad feeling for a while, that hes not gonna make it through this time. i dont know what im going to do if hes gone. its so hard watching people go through this knowing that he doesnt think that anyone loves or cares aobut him. he hasnt realized that so many people care aobut him who havent ever met him. i ask you all just to pray for him. pray for him to realize that god loves him more than anyone will ever know.
