• 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.

12/01/2014 my x land lord raised the lot rent from $150 to $750 a month. I got on my knees and prayed God delivered me to a house owner finance. I get here and i am just over overwhelmed with repairs no money no way to fix it . granted the house payment is cheaper then what the $750 lot rent would of been. I am great-full but at the same time i am regretful. I never felt so bad before. I am thinking i made a wrong choice. I asked for a door to be opened and this one was the only door. now i question what pushed me in to it. I am great full where God has brought me but i am just drowning in the problems it has made. It just feels like i am drowning with no hope. Nothing is going right as it did before in life. I just followed directions something told me to move. I was getting beat up at churches. the church people would tamper with my scooter cut my brake cables and all they almost hurt me badly. I trusted in what i though was the voice from God telling me to take this. Now i even question it. I was hoping to rent rooms to help fix it but no body here wants to rent a room. It is just like i want to Say God you got me here now what? I never know i was possible to feel blessed and hopeless at the same time. I am berried in debt everything is just getting worse I need deliverance. I prayed and prayed about it something told me to go here now i am here and stuck. I question even following this path. I should of stayed right where i was until the land lord kicked me out for none payment. I don't know what to think no more. I even question God's directions on my life. between being in pain 24/7 and nothing going right i think it is starting to trigger my depression again.

God will either deliver you from suffering, or if not, will give you the strength and grace, to pass trough it and endure it.

Difficulties make you do some good things which you would not do otherwise.

When you worry about the future, which you do not know, it prevents you to function and enjoy living in the present, which you know.

We all have reasons, to be troubled, but the Word of God, gave us a greater reason, not to be troubled.

Hey Fred,

If you rent it out for a few months at a cheap rate, will that give you the money needed to start making the repairs?
I know you said that no one wants to rent, but maybe if you made it really cheap, it would work.
After you make the repairs, you could raise the rent a bit.
Or maybe you could take someone in who is struggling, who needs a place but cannot afford it, and he/she could help you will repairs?

I don't think you should of stayed in the old place and not paid. Those churches sound like hellholes with vipers, not places of worship. Can you find a new church family that does not suck?


Just some thoughts.
