• 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.

Greywolf, you know you can count on me to be praying for you. I am thankful that you are still fighting this and learning to take this as a serious attempt. I am thankful that you are reaching out both here on CF adn taking the step to go to church onSunday. Praying that you will find support IRL as well. Know I have keept you in my prayers on and off thourgh out your presence and absences here at the forum. I do care and my heart breaks for the pain yu are in right now. YOu and I both have been to depths many except those here at the forum havve survived. That you are here today really proves what an incredible and strong wwoman you are. Please continue fighting for life and disallow thes dream (nightmares in my book). Please continue to work at finding a way to turn away from this path and turn back towards life. I am so thankful that you turned back to your books! I remember now how much you enjoy them! Thank you for not taking a break from CF! Thank you fo ryour support of me when I have needed it. You indeed make a difference in this world, bfor you have made a difference in my life, and I hope you will be there when I need it again!

Hey guys. I was sick all night and slept all day,and now those suicidal feelings are really hitting me. I'm going to try and distract myself by reading, but I keep wanting to just "hurt myself a little" but I know "a little" could lead to "a lot" in a hurry. So I'm really fighting.

Thank you so much Alive Again for your kind message. Please keep those prayers coming as I need them very much.

I know we don't know each other, but you have my prayers and my support. I know how it feels to want to end the pain, and even if it does not seem like it, the pain does not last forever. As others here have told you, you are made in God's image. He loves you and cares so much about you. Pour out your heart to Him. Trust in His Son. He will get you through anything, and I know that with Him you will get through this extremely hard time. I really hope you do reach out and start going to church. I pray that you meet some great people there and build strong friendships. Also, read God's word daily. If there is something you don't understand in His word, ask God to show you what it means. If you don't already read the Bible, I suggest starting with the Gospel of John in the New Testament.

Please keep in touch with us to let us know how you are doing.

God bless you and keep you,

Suzi

Hello guys,

It's now midnight, and, of course, I'm wide awake, which is the normal state after sleeping all day (sigh) so it will most likely be a long, lonely night. However, I am feeling better.

I keep telling myself that these impulses to self-harm are my illness, not me. Also, I know from experience that if I give in, even a little, it will be much worse, wheras if I ignore them, it will get better in a little while.

(ooo, that's freaky. There is a pack of coyotes howling outside- got to be coyotes, and they sound like they are right in front of the building. You should hear them wailing. Scary)

Anyway, I will definitely keep in touch. Thank you all for being so kind and supportive. You are helping me far more than you'll ever know!
