Let me share my story of dealing with mental health issues, self harm and suicide. I started self harming when I was 13 and I didn’t know this would become a 14 year addiction. Anytime I felt down I would self harm it didn’t matter what I used I just needed to get the pain out of me. I strayed away from God for years until I was put in a mental hospital 4 different times over my years growing up and the thing I just noticed I was missing in life was God. I can’t have complete control of my life and make whatever decisions I wanted to I needed someone to guide me and help me out through my troubled times. I am now 27 and have found God again and I’m letting him take control of my life b/c nobody can do it alone. I may not be totally cured from mental health but I’ve got my best friend by my side to help me through the tough times. God.
