Chris, if there is ONE thread on this whole forum that you choose not to read, please make it this one. Please don't ask me about anything to do with it. One day I'll tell you all about it. Just know that I'm fine now

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.

You call yourself a cutter. Next time you have that urge could you become a pinger instead with an elastic band.!!? Works just as well, but is a preferable form of self harm. Im not encouraging you to SI but I know that saying to you just stop is not going to help you right now. Of course i and anyone else would rather you didnt SI but i know how hard it is to resist. I found the elastic band work effectively . I would have many more scars if I hadnt used it latterly. I dont SI at all now. Neithre do I have depression now. I do know though exactly what it is like and how strong that urge can become. Let us know how you get on. COuld you explain to those you are accountable to why you self harm ie; the effect it has on calming you down etc. That is not to say that SI is a good or right thing to do. But maybe the half way method would be for you as it was for me - a good weaning method.

Miss_Klara,
Hey. Feeling bad without having a reason to, and feeling a desire to cut? It sounds like you have clinical depression, it's the nature of the beast. Are you seeing a counselor? The next time you want to cut, or you feel really bad, call 1-800 NEW LIFE They are a hotline from a nationwide counseling center. They will talk to you and help you not to cut, and they can also put you in touch with a christian counselor in your area if you don't have one. I called them once when I really wanted to hurt myself and they really helped. I don't know how you feel about talking to a counselor or about anti-depressants, but they might help you. And if you ever want to talk to me, I'd be happy to give you all the support I can. pm me and I'll tell you my e-mail address.
