• 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.

Hi... I'm kinda new at this, so bear with me. This place is BIG! I actually found it looking for SI support.

I've been struggling with the desire to SI for the last 3 or 4 months. A couple of weeks ago i finally gave into it. This is after 5 years of no serious cutting (after a year and a half of being into it daily). Which is completely depressing. :sigh: I haven't told anyone about it. All of two people in my life know that i was ever into that at all. I mean, it's semi-obvious, but there are only 2 people i've talked to openly about it.

Anyways, i guess i was looking for a place to get it out of my system so that it's not just like this big fat secret i'm keeping. And maybe to get some prayer about it, so i hopefully don't go doing it again any time soon.

Thanks for "listening". I appreciate it.

Hey, welcome :) I'm sorry about your relapse. Good for you in getting it out in the open, though. I find that the more people who know I'm struggling, the easier it is for me to stay safe. What other steps are you taking to make sure you stay safe?

Keeping you in my thoughts and wishing you much luck,

-Ren
