Praying for you to gain the strength that comes from the Lord. I have been into the self harming as well and I know how difficult it can be to stop. If you ever feel you would like to talk to someone look me up and may God Bless You

Melanie, you precious child of God, May you find the strength of the almighty Jehovah in you that you may be set free, in the Holy Name Of Jesus, from that which causes you this pain. I am praying for you

Hey, I really know how you feel, as soon as I get over stressed I start with self mutilation, not only cutting myself but bulimia and writing "hate letters" to myself...everything.
I can relate to what a difficult time you are going through. If you wanna talk, please don't hesitate to pm me...k?
Will keep you in my prayers

Much love

I used to do that. If you need someone to talk to who's been there, feel free to get in contact with me. I care about you a lot even though I've never met you and it breaks my heart that you're going through this struggle. I am definitely praying for you.

Anorexia, bulimia, self-injury.

I quit harming myself with one act at the time until I did something so blatant and harmful that I paid attention to it. I prayed for help and it came in the form of getting to an anonymous 12 step recovery meeting for eating disorders [OA, though it deals w/ all eating problems], and it's self-supporting with no dues or fees].

I began seeing patterns in my lack of eating nutritionally that contributed to my self-injurious tendencies. I haven't intentionally harmed myself in several months. God has worked so often and so efficiently in my life - in every area - that when I really want a different solution cause mine has quit working, God gives me a different solution. I just had to be ready, willing, and ask. The pain can end, dear one!

Praying for you and sending positive thoughts and energy your way!
Much love, Samsara

Been self harming again but only this time i ended up getting stitches in my arm I hate this i really wanna stop but i can't i keep carrying on. I got a councillor im seeing him next week some time. I just can't cope i wanna die soo badly i dont feel Jesus has a plan for me anymore.

I feel your pain...and totally understand..I am there too. Try doing this...next time you feel panicked to cut, try holding onto an ice cube in your hand until it melts....or hold one in both hands. It stings and can satisfy the need to cut without hurting you. It helped me when I was stopping...I have not cut in over 16 months now. Remember to run water over the ice first so it doesn't stick to your hands

Congrats on going to see a counsellor - you don't have to struggle with this alone. God does have a plan for oyu and part of it sharing your struggle with people here.



A question - is it possible that when you want to cut that you come online first and start sharing your feelings? I don't know what the trigger points are for you to cut, but maybe it is a start?

 

[NJA]

Ex:15:3: The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

You need to go to war against the thoughts that get you down, The Lord wants to make you "the head and not the tail" in your situation.

He wants to make you stronger and clearer in mind than the people that get you down so they will fear/respect you.

Call it spiritual warfare, or just having faith, throw off the grave-clothes of your former person that wasn't God's child and let the real Mel stand tall.

Find some spiritually switched-on people to pray with and take captive those wrong thoughts that continually get you down, they have no place in your heart & mind, they are a cancer.
