Yea, I feel like I would be dead if it wasn't for my faith.
God has helped me through sometimes when I was urging bad and didn't cut, and also in other times when I failed. I feel sometimes that God will forgive me for wanting to be hurting myself, which helps me not to beat myself up as much when I do fail.
It's a good feeling that I can look up to God, even when I feel lonely.
Of course God loves you. You are so precious to God, that's why he specifically created you just the way you are. You are unique and very special to God. You were not an accident.
"I am your Creator. You were in my care even before you were born" Isaiah 44:2
"Long before he laid down earth's foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love" Ephesians 1:4
"God decided to give us life through the word of truth so we might be the most important of all things he made" James 1:18

don't be scared about going back to church, God's house should be a place we can go no matter how we feel or what we've done. sometimes after i've tooken things too far i've been terrified of going to mass, and gone anyway, and the going anyway helped me. i reckon if i hadn't i would've never found the reasons to live again.
I've been a Christian for 17 yrs (since prek) and have become increasingly serious about my faith. I'm actually looking at going to seminary after I finish my undergrad. I've been cutting for about 7 years. In the past few years, since starting college, I've starting fighting against the desire and addiction. It's been almost 4 months now.. but I'm starting to really struggle with it again. This is the longest I've gone without cutting since it first started and I'm having a hard time managing the temptation..
I'm very thankful for this thread. It's good to know I'm not alone.
ok i finally found the lyrics for 'everything' and wnated to post em cause they're awesome
Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.
You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.
And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You Steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?
And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
Cause you're all I want, You're all I need
You're everything,everything
You're all I want you're all I need
You're everything, everything.
You're all I want you're all I need.
You're everything, everything
You're all I want you're all I need, you're everything, everything.
And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better, any better.
And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
you're all in my prayers

^Everything is a beautiful song. I lead an interpretive dance team at my university and we did a dance/skit to Everything based on the skit we found on youtube. I played the cutter/death character at the end. Without most people knowing, I was exposing my darkest secrets to a room full of hundreds of people. It was powerful..
I wondered whether it would be possible for a few prayers because I am leaving for my first uni interview tomorrow, it is on Friday morning, and I am so so so so nervous. I know it isn't SH related but they would be very appriciated.
Thanks, You are all in my prayers.

Hi guys. My mother is in the hospital, so I could use your prayers right now. I'm such a worry wart, wondering what is going to happen, and I'm wondering about all of the what ifs...
Other than that, I finished my exams, and I did very well. And my socilogy teacher is letting us make up work that is waaay past due without any penatities on the lateness of the work, so I'm happy. Going to use this to try and get myself up to an A in that class. Dad would be thrilled, since I've never done really well in that teachers class before.
