• 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'm not so sure that having the house to yourself is that great... who else lives with you? and how do you get along with them? You mentioned having a little sister?

Yeah, it is a good thing bc it stops me... I guess... but it makes things really hard, much harder than they would be normally.

I've got to go get out of my head for a little while. Too much thinking and posting about cutting does my head in. :doh: Maybe I'll go sketch something, scribble something, write in my journal, I don't know. But first - chores.

:sigh:

i live with my mum and my little sister and erm yeah we dont get on, well i dont get on with any of them at all. (which doesnt help) so in that way a free house is great. but i think you might be right, right now its not a good thing.

it does make is harder definatly, i used to find that when i ws in hospital being stopped from doing the things i use to cope make everything else harder.
yeah that sounds like a good idea Aoril i.m going to go too got a headahce anyway from sitting starring at computer and lack of sleep.

take care hun hope it all goes ok xxxx:hug:

Yeah, not getting along with those you live with really is horrible. I live with my parents and we get along for the most part, but they are pretty much clueless as to what I've been going through for the past however many months. And we had an "issue" in March that made me really doubt them. So that really sucks, but oh well, "such is life." :sigh:

Did you manage to get out of your head for a bit today? and I hope that you get more sleep soon! being sleepy/exhausted isn't fun at all. :hug:

How is everyone doing tonight?? :hug:s for all.

Yeah right you're okay. :hug:

I'm glad that you were honest. Can you try and eat something, or will you just get sick from it? and could you try to talk to someone about being so suicidal? bc it's not a good thing that they are getting to be more than just thoughts. :hug:

Hang in there. Keep procrastinating. I know you can do it. :hug:

Katey, I agree with April. You need to be where you're safe and getting help. :hug: Do they not have room for you again?

Try and stay strong with your SI thoughts April! :prayer:

Ari - it's good to see you and I hope things slow down for you so we get to see more of you around here!

Well, my doctor's appointment went ok, I guess. When the nurse weighed me I just kept my eyes on my feet and never looked up at the result. I wanted to know but didn't want to know the number. I think she understood because she didn't say anything and I was really glad to get past that. But then the doctor while asking me questions to verify some things on my chart, that was one she asked me about. Not that the number is bad right now, she just wanted to double check some of the information. I was like..:doh::doh::doh::doh:!! I almost made it and now that stupid number is stuck in my head and won't get out!!!!!! :(

Kerin :hug: I'm sorry that you had to find out the number :-( I understand how upsetting that can be... or perhaps "upsetting" isn't the right word. Just "obsessive." It's pretty horrible when it gets stuck... and stuck firm. I'm glad that the appt itself went okay though. That's fantastic. :hug:

Katey :hug: You should tell them the "whole story" so you can get the help that you need. I mean - if there is room, take advantage of that!!

I am... okay. Tired... I wish SI thoughts wouldn't always hit at home, bc here is where I can't SI at all... if I could feel like I needed to in the morning/afternoon, I could do it and be okay since I wouldn't be at home. :(

ED seems to be okay. I've gained weight again this week but I'm not fretting too much over it, I don't know why. Probably bc I am so used to it by now. :doh: Sucks.

It is awful having the number stuck. And I keep going over it, and thinking of things like, well, I was dressed, it was after lunch, all scales are different...blah..blah..blah..just trying to find ways to make it a lower number so then I don't think I need to lose any weight. :sigh:

April, I'm glad for your sake that the SI thoughts are happening in a safe place for you. I hope that makes sense. :hug:

Are you having a better day Katey?

How are exams going Bec? I hope you're done now or very close to done!!

my days not going to well (hmm seems to happen a lot these days!!!! :sigh:)
i've spoken to my cpn shes just speaking to the doc and ward, i blurted so much out, bout all things am seeing how bad am feeling n then stupidly blurted out i'd planned stuff!!!!!!! (how stupid can i get !!!) i'd rung crisis team last night tried to talk to them but could open up n they were worried, kept me on phone for ages tried to get me to go up to ane but wasnt happening. so looks like i could b in hosp by end of today :cry:

APril i agre with Kerin, i kno its hard esp when your soemwhere you cant do it, but if its stopping you siing then its good.

Kerin, it is hard i hate finding that number out i get so obsessed about it the following days. is there anything you cando to take your mind of things for a little while?? soemthing you enjoy that doesnt involve n e thing that will make u think?? n
