• 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.

Things arent good right now i have been having flashbacks for most of day
i have tried grounding myself with all different techniques
but am struggling i feel like i need to cut to cope with it
i know that it should be a last resort but its that or i do something stupid
i have tried distracting myself by reading , being on line , watching tv ,listening to the radio , talking to my husband about it
i don't know what else to do

I'm sorry things are so tough, sweetie.
I know what you mean, cutting is sometimes a coping strategy which stops us from doing something worse. But it isn't a healthy one... as you obviously know.
Are you getting any professional support, sweetie - therapy or counseling?
If you need an ear, anytime, please PM me - I know how it feels. :hug:
Praying for you.
