• 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.

Is it just me who feels that as you try and get better, things seem to get worse, and you end up screwing up and feeling worse?

Therapy's been pretty rubbish for me, so i got outta the one i was in, and have continued with the group therapy i was also in. that's going so well, and we had a really good session on friday, and got really good progress. Yet today, one little thing sets me off and I'm stuck in this viscious cycle of tearing myself down, feeling i'm to blame for every damn thing that's gone wrong in this world. And I ended up cutting. And then i'm sat, beating myself up more, for failing at not cutting. I was doing so well lately, and now i've screwed up twice in a few days.

Sometimes it feels like it's easier just to choke down all the issues and pretend their not there. At least then i dont feel like such a darn failure.
