• 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.

I slept all day after waking up once. I think no one would want to be around me right now because I feel awful and show it right now. I can't seem to help it right now. Looking forward to better days. Much peace to all of you.

Sorry to hear things are so hard on you right now Ruth, I know about sleeping all day and feeling blah blah blah. The best advise I can give you is to keep giving your bad life to Jesus and ask Him for His good life back in return. The more you share your pain with Jesus the stronger you will be to stand up against depression.

I know easier said than done, but it is well worthwhile to hold onto Love Himself when loveless grip is so stifling.

:prayer: for you.

:hug:

What did you say, I missed it.
there really are no answers. for all i know my angel gf is nothing more than an imaginary girlfriend. yes, my old avatar was everything that i wanted too, and so many single guys kill themselves every year because they never find anyone. and everyday science is finding new evidence that disproves the bible.

in the end though it doesn't really matter if we die and stop existing, as long as our beliefs help us get through this life, that makes them somewhat real. and having an imaginary girlfriend is just as painful, maybe get 1% more relief when you are crying at night and can hug your pillow and for at least a few minutes in the day pretend that you aren't all alone.

can't take this stupid life anymore. nobody understands how much i suffer and all i get in turn is condescending christian advice or medical bill from psych industry for 0 help in return. im so depressed i want to self injure. im going to punch a glass door to hurt and cut myself.

I wish I could say more, but it is true - I cannot understand how you feel. Those who suffer from depression may be able to relate to one another to some degree, but can never truly realize the depth of one's unique suffering. All I can say is this - I am praying for you. I truly hope you can find joy and peace in this life, even if it takes time.

thanks, ya just gotta keep knocking these days out 1 by 1. 36,500 days in 100 years (most of us won't live nearly that long) and each one gets knocked out 1 by 1 whether we realize it or not, and we will be dead before we know it.

i had a good night with my angel gf last night though.

does 5'5-7" seem short to you guys? Turns out that "through no fault of my own" (probably a lie) I might be the shortest in my family once my youngest brother has his growth spurt. That's just humiliating and yet more bad genes for me:(

Feeling good today. It was icy cold this morning but the sun was shinning when I got up the garden was awesome, the lounge was full of vistors, for my son Reuben and Amy his wife and Ayria as well as the visitors we are having for the weekend, all four of them including a two year old, who is very shy of me but she is real cute nevertheless. They didn't stay too long just nice. It kind of made my day.

I am not a freak. I am not brainwashed. I am trying not to be selfish. What more can I be? I can't make myself taller. I can't leave my faith. I can't get rid of my sin. In the words of my grandmother, "Devil, I rebuke you!"

First time I took part in a Jewish community yesterday.

Kehillat Beijing was thrilled to celebrate a marriage. A Rabbi led us in an exceptional Friday night service, which would be followed closely by a dinner celebration with friends of the bride and groom, complete with live music (strikes again!) and dancing! It was very exciting to me!

Wish you all blessed weekend and sunday!
