well it's been about a month or so since I last cut. I could not stop myself toinght. I am so stressed out with going back to work and having my first christmas without my kids. My son is still stuck in Iraq and I have a God who puts up with me but never talks to me.I even think my therapist is getting fed up with me she keeps telling me I'm a stubborn woman. Maybe so....but if I can't get relief from any other source hurting myself is an option! She says it's my stubborn will. and she is right
where the Hell is God in all this????????????? I think I have an anger issue with God. I do not know what to do about it. I hate myself and knowing that I can not fulfill the most important commandment..."Love your neighbor as your self." I love and show respect to more people than myself. I'm so messed up I do not think no matter what I do I will always end up in hell. God if only your grace ....

Well I'm not religious so I can't comment on all that. But I hope that you are feeling better today. I used to cut when I was a teenager. I don't know how we repair our self esteem and love ourselves. It is a very difficult thing to do. Try to find things that make you feel calm. Yesterday I built a fire in my fireplace and noticed how soothing it is to sit in front of the fire. I had never noticed before. But I will add this to my toolbox now of things that make me feel less anxious. Music perhaps? I love music and listen to it every single day. Maybe listen to some calm classical music or something? Find whatever works for you. *hugs*

I use to be addicted to cutting. I went to church and I still cut. My life was hard. I had a mom who wanted nothing to do with me and an ex who would beat the crap out of me. I met my fiance and wanted to stop. I have mistake carved into my arms it got so bad. One day at church I got down on my knees and prayed....asked god to help me...help my desire to harm myself, I felt like I deserved it like no one wanted me here. But we all have a reason to be here. And with gods will anything is possible. You just need to open your eyes and see, his words may be silent but if you pay attention his grace is all around you. He never wants to see his children in pain. Its a strong and hard addiction to break and sometimes I want to run back to it but I quickly hop on someplace I can talk it out to people like on here. People who dont know me and won't judge me, or I crawl into the arms of my fiance and talk. I am always here if you want to talk! I will never judge! Stay strong and keep your head up!
