Comment:	Thanks for this. I'm glad that darkness is behind you now. I have had deep emotional pain that caused self harm and suicide gestures but was rejected by those closest to me as manipulative attention seeker. This made me hurt myself further because I felt I had to be sicker to prove myself worthy of any attention at all. So I made my sickness worse and exaggerated symptoms so I'd be diagnosed with something worse. Yes it was sin but it was a sin caused by hurt. And yes Jesus forgave my sin but I can't help but feel where was He when I felt that pain? Does He understand that although I can't justify my sin and it needs forgiveness it had a legitimate cause? I went though abuse bullying rejection etc. Where was God when those things happened that made me ill in my mind and want me to destroy myself?
