• 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 am new here. I needed somewhere to write down my thoughts to help me get through some tough things. I guess you can say this will kinda be my journal. :)

I have only been cutting for a couple of months, but I have already become addicted. No one knows about my problem. And I don't even have the strength to explain yet why I do it. I just know the Lord is going to help me beat this.

God Bless. :)

Welcome to CF.
Always remember, God is there during the greatest times, and even the most dark and depressing ones. God will be there through it all..
Your never alone in your struggles..You have God as well as others who have struggled or are struggling with the same thing.
I have faith in all self-injurers that they all will break away from this habit of self-hurt and live more happier and healthier lives. I have so much faith because I was down that road once, and God pulled me off of it.
I shall pray that God helps you through these tough times..and help you pull away from it all and live happily with him in your life!

+ God Bless +

The strength that you have shown so far is considerable- welcome to CF!!:wave:

Please make your "journal" here a living journal- full of your fears, your desires...your choices. Because you do have choices and we would like you to immerse yourself in prayer, for yourself, but for others who have come here to commune with you...to share. It takes work and commitment, but you will share things that you thought that you couldn't before and our Lord will help you every step of the way!

WELCOME!

I am sorry to hear that you have already become addicted. Luckily it seems like you are eager to quit...so that's such a blessing. I've only managed to do it with the love and support of a few trusted friend, and my Bible close in hand. After 8 years of cutting I've been free for about 5 months now. It is a hard battle but with God on your side you can do it and we'll be here to support you through it!

Remember:
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"

I hope you can find someone to talk to when these feelings come up.Do you have a close christian friend you can turn to?I found it best to talk to someone who is a christian because someone who is secular doesn't understand how it affects you spiritualy,the more you call on the Lord the easier it is to overcome the feelings,I have complete faith that God will remove this from you,and I will be praying for you,God bless.

:hug::hug: Welcome to CF. My name's April, and if you ever need to talk, I'm here. :) I'm glad to see that you've found this part of the forums, because it has the potential of being a great help.

I'm sorry that you've become addicted to cutting, after only a couple months - but you are right in saying that through God you can conquer this!! It's not easy, but if you are willing to fight then you can and will triumph. This I promise you. Remember, like Berry said, Phil. 4:13- "I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me."

Don't hesitate to PM me if you need someone to talk with. Keep us updated on how things are going with you. :) God bless.
