• 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.

:hug:

I think at time we all feel lost and far from God, but the great thing is that he is still there even when we can't feel him. Feeling far from God can be hard, but there will be a reasoning behind it.

:hug:

It's been about two months since I last cut (there have been some minor bruisings).

I feel so lost right now - so far from God.

He's still there, sweetie.
And the 'desert' times are very often the times when we grow in Him.
Hold on, you can get through this time.

i feel so alone. i am so tired of feeling this way. why do the urges always have to come back? it doesn't seem fair. i hate myself so much. no matter how much i fight, it seems to never stop. i can't seem to get out of this. i hate this, i hate myself.
