Is it hopeless?

[XxMurderedKissesxX]

I started to SH three years ago. Ive tried & tried to stop. At one point I went almost 5 months, but only because in replacement of my SH I used drugs and alcohol. Now I have a eatting disorder, sever drug problem, and I SH everyday. It seems like everytime I try to get back up I fall down and get worse. Im at my ropes end. I cant do it anymore, but I know im not strong enough to stop. What am I supposed to do? Is it hopeless to even try and over come this?

If you don't think you're strong enough to stop on your own then you need to tell someone you trust and get them to help you.

Nothing is ever truly hopeless, no matter how it may seem to be in this moment. One never knows what the future has in store, what unexpected succession of events could play out as soon as tomorrow. So - never resign to complete failure, for when one does so they have become firmly closed and set upon that failure - remain open to the possibilities, of change and recovery.

Don't focus on the destination, if that's too difficult and obscure for you right now. Focus on the journey, the day-to-day experiences of your struggle. Every day passed without giving in to self-destructive compulsions, is a day where inner strength (yes, you do possess it, more than you are aware of) has prevailed, where you have stood up against 'fate' and dared to prove it wrong. Use these small steps to empower yourself.

It's okay to not feel strong enough - that's a sign that something needs to be done differently, that you need to make an effort to gather strength, from within and without. Seek out supportive individuals, expose yourself to new concepts and ideas; surely there is something out there that will come to be a source of inner empowerment as well as a catalyst for growth. The most important thing is to have faith, exercise awareness, and be open.

Never settle for less than what you - what everyone - deserves; a clear mind free of harmful influence, and the ability to realize your own life potential. Living each day at the mercy of these intense emotional presences isn't proper living, but once you break through, a new existence characterized by inner freedom will greet you more beautifully than anything you have known thus far.

May you find courage to persist in this worthwhile struggle. :hug3:

It's never hopeless to try and over come something. If you're having problems over coming it on your own, try and talk to someone you trust and they'll be able to help you. I'd suggest, that instead of trying to quit/sort everything all at once, try stopping one thing at a time. And don't go all 'cold-turkey' straight away, 'cause that'll just make it worse in the long run. Like with smokers trying to quit, cut down on it first then eventually stop. I think that'll work especially with the SH and drugs. If you gradually stop it, then there'll be less risk of you falling again. And you ARE strong enough to overcome this. You CAN do this. BELIEVE in yourself.

Hope this helps you, feel free to VM me anytime and stay strong :)
