The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Lol, I went to the chiopractor 3 trips I think, he was honest enough to say I can't help ya. At least he saved me some money!Not everything can be fixed by chiropractic...4 yrs of it only to find out that because my back is permanently broken I could have ended up with a severed spine and in a wheel chair. I hate pain meds but its part of my life and no matter how much pt or stretching I do stuff thats broke like my back shoulders and knees where there is actual damage there is no other releif.
Lol, yeah, that's for sure but he was an honest Dr.That IS truly amazing...'cause they like to milk ya for all it's worth as far as I can tell.
Chronic pain/illness' and depression seem to go hand in hand
Chronic pain/illness and depression seem to go hand in hand'
So true....yet so sad! I cannot figure out which is worse. It is a never ending battle. Thank God He holds us in His hands, otherwise I would have called it quits long ago.
The reality of "this isn't going to get any better" or "the older I get the more difficult this is going to be to deal with" can hit home rather hard...kinda like a freight train on a grade with no brakes.
Reality is that most ppl are so overwhelmed or self centered that they just don't or can't care and we find ourselves alone with our struggles. Our doctors can only do so much for us and how many times can we ask others for prayer.
Fatigue usually goes along with everything else we deal with and the other life issues that our illness' bring can mount up and overwhelm us causing us to become depressed.
Had one of those moments this weekend and I just broke down and cried. My bother is in the same boat as I and he's also a pastor.
I'm thankful that we are able to share this unique experience here in CF.
