• 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 made a promise to my counselor not to do it anymore, and if i felt compelled to it, to follow a plan (trying to deter myself, going to others for help, going to a public place) so that i wouldn't follow into it.

i also find that it helps to imagine worst case scenarios of what could happen, and i go to this site: http://www.palace.net/~llama/psych/fself.html

I finally found one for myself.

Hurting my friends, who know. Me and another friend are trying to stop together, it hurts her so bad when I do slip up so i just think about her face.

Also the thought of my parents knowing that I have slipped up, they only found out about this, this year so I dont know there reaction to me slipping up. And I dont want to find out, ever.

mine is a high school robotics team i work with. and if i get the chance when i want to cut i look at the award submission that the students wrote about me and it reminds me that as much as i feel worthless there is people out there that needs me and i need to get better for myself and for them. i can usually go the longest without cutting when i am spending time with them.
