I really need to talk to someone!

Question:


I don't know what to do anymore. I keep cutting myself every day because the pain, hurt, confusion, sadness, shame & blame I have everyday just kills me inside. I can't deal with it anymore. I just want to give up. I keep getting more & more overwelmed each day. My depression keeps getting worse & i'm even on medication for it. And I also have professinal help but it doesn't work. They just say the only way we can help you is if you help yourself. So I basicly have to help myself alone but I can't do that its just to hard for me. I have yet to get any better. I don't think I'm ever gonna get better. I cry myself to sleep every night because everything is just so deep & I can't take it anymore. I'm always putting myself down all the time & I keep blaming myself for everything that has happened to me in my past. I might as well just give up everything. Because everyone is starting to give up on me because no one knows how to help me anymore. Each day I just keep getting closer & closer to ending my life. No one understands me or cares about what I'm going through or cares about me. Every time I try and get help from someone but they just push me away like I mean nothing to them because they don't want to hear about it or they just don't want to listen to me. I don't matter to anyone so why should I keep living my life. Someone please help me..please!



Answer:



Tiff, I am very glad that you came here. The reason that people haven't been able to help you is because everyone has difficulties of their own. Everyone has problems that they need help with. The main problem is that no person has the answer. This is where it is crucial that you go to Jesus. Matthew 28:18 says that He has all authority and power in heaven and in earth. John 10:10 shows that He wants to give you freedom in His power so that you can experience the abundant life in Him.

Before you can experience this power you must first have a relationship with Him. If you do not have a relationship with Christ, look under our resources on the title Find God. This will show you how you can have a personal relationship with Him.

If you are saved, I want to tell some great news. God is not upset with you. Romans 8:1 says that there is no condemnation to those in Christ. He looks at you like a clean slate. You stand before Him as though you have never done any wrong. Not only that, but He loves you dearly. I John 4:19 says that we love him because he first loved us. You don't have to do anything to get this love. He has already given you this love! You just need to believe it and allow Him to let you experience this love.

Because you have a personal relationship with God, all that you need to experence freedom from cutting is in your grasp. What I would reccommend is if you do not do any journaling, write out how you feel on the inside the next time you feel like cutting yourself. Knowing what I have told you, that your are loved and that Christ has power to free you from this addiction, by faith give it to Him. I Peter 5:7 says that we are to cast all of our cares to Him because He cares for us. What will also help is taking a look under our resources on a link called help sites. On this site, you will find under cutting the link to the site www.self-injury.org along with other helpful sites. You will find that coming to Christ for help and accountability that God will grant you freedom. God bless!
