I know I still need counseling, and I know it is very important. i just haven't been able to get it yet. I might just talk to my school counselor for starters since I can't do anything else yet.
This time I really feel like I'm not going to cut again. This feeling that I've had for the past week is quite unlike what I normally feel, and I know it's God who helped me out through a lot of the sadness.
I didn't mean to sound like I was turning my back on counseling. Because I still plan on doing that.

Congrats. I'm glad to hear it. Remember that it's a process. If you need any more assistance or advice feel free to ask us. I hope you've found counseling as well.


This is going to sound wrong, probably, but you really do need to see a counselor first and worry about your connection with God second. Since you believe in God, God will always be there, whether in your heart, mind, soul, the seagull you see as you look out over the lake/ocean. I think that God would want you to take care of yourself because he loves you and wants you to be happy.

Cutting is a harsh mistress to overcome and its so easy to slip back into. I personally do not cut, but I know many who do. People tell them to just stop cutting or take meds. As with any mental problem, meds alone will not work, if they are needed at all.
Yeah I do agree she needs to see a counselor. I'm sorry if I seemed to undermind the importance of that.


No worries, I was just piggy backing on your post. smile

It's okay we're just worried about you that's all. It's common in religious communities of any kind to fall into the trap of neglecting medical help and arrogantly thinking that God/the Gods will "magik" you back together. Not saying that God doesn't do this, just that it so rarely happens that one should not be expecting it. Relapses are common. Not going to say that it will happen to you and I hope that you don't but you should know that. I would encourage you to do so, since it's better than nothing and it might lead to better resources.
