i wish

I know being a christian we are to pray, but this I cant pray for. I need another tattoo  so I dont cut. My husband dosnt like them, an dosnt understand the corrolation between th two. It would help stop the cutting at least for awhile.  And I think they ate beautiful if done right. Lord I am messed up.

Oh, I\'m so sorry to hear this! Yes, be encouraged! There is HOPE! Tattoos can be very beautiful, but I think that honoring your husband is the best route to go, it\'s hard. I have a YouTube channel to support those with depression and for those who love someone with depression- if you\'d like to come a few I hope with all your heart that you would be encouraged by a few of them. I tell my story with about dealing with depression, hospital stays, panic attacks and such- come visit if you can. My website is at my profile here, but just incase... here\'s the link, and I hope you begin to feel much better soon, don\'t cut!!! Blessings! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO4DShPmNO_3fD-EPI5p0Gg

Angie...You can pray for anything, and God will listen. His answer may be \"no,\" but we can always go to Him. While I\'ve never cut myself, I do understand what you mean about the correlation between cutting and tattoos. In both cases, it hurts and makes a mark on your body, and that can help ease the emotional pain that you\'re going through. Have you ever spoken with a counselor or your pastor about what you\'re feeling? Big hugs!

Angie, I too have never cut or have had a tattoo. But, there have been times in my life when I have wanted to hurt myself somehow. I gave myself back to God.
Whenever you feel the urge just give yourself back to God. He will listen and will help you get over the urge. You can talk to a counselor or your pastor as Judy mentioned. I will pray for you, Angie

Started to feel better. Not so severe depression as it was before. I know its from all the sweet encouragement I have recieved from wonderful friends here who have put up with me. I dont want to sound negative anymore. I want to have abetter outlook on things. I am fighting cutting. Its hard butI\'m gonna do it. Jesus is helping mre I know. I showed my husband my cuts for the 1st time in weeks. I hate making him sad, but I had too. I know he dosnt want to touch me then. I can tell. I have to heal. Outside and in. My priest at my church is to busy to see me, an , I have to wait 10 days to talk to someone about my mental problems. I need to be here till then, I just pray all of you dont get tired of me. I need you all. I dont have any other friends, not one.
