• 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.

Having anxiety about moving and going to school and money. I think I should wait until the second semester to go. And just work full time while going to school part time. I think that would be easiest. I'll look for an apartment in the city and a job and maybe move there later September.

Gotta approach my parents about this somehow. Dad'll yell.

Tired and headaches again today not too bad but enough got dinner heating up and waiting on SO get back from another job he had to go to once he got home to mow, and called bk out. arg! Makes me shake my head at times. Still got 3 kittens here and soon may have to go to a no kill shelter to find homes, I love them but we got 2 grown cats (the kittens parents) who are just as lovable. Just glad to see roommate move out soon due to finances its just not enough to have him here to freeload and take from everyone and not participate to help cook or do the clean up to. Often it falls on me do to it all at times and its very exhausting as well. Trying to relax during the triple heat we're getting n thank God no major storms lately I know a lot of them are east of us getting tons of rain oi! Blessings

Patiently waiting for the Lord, I know He will come soon, I can't wait for the wicked to go to hell. Nobody will be depressed any more then. Wouldn't that be great?

Psalms 22:25-31

From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;
before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows.
The poor will eat and be satisfied;
those who seek the Lord will praise him—
may your hearts live forever!



All the ends of the earth
will remember and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
will bow down before him,:clap::clap::clap:
for dominion belongs to the Lord
and he rules over the nations.



All the rich of the earth will feast and worship;
all who go down to the dust will kneel before him:bow::bow::bow:
those who cannot keep themselves alive.

Posterity will serve him;
future generations will be told about the Lord.
They will proclaim his righteousness,
declaring to a people yet unborn:
He has done it!:bow::bow::bow:

Tired.

Still no cat. Will be going to school in the second semester. Just gonna work now and save up money.

Changing my major as well, to something with animal care. I'd love to do history and english, those being my favorite things in the world, but after a trip to the Humane Society, I realized that I may be better off with animal behaviorism or something with animals. I wish people made the attempt to understand animals a lot more. Especially cats.

Cats are precious and must be protected at all costs.

Anxious. I need a full time job but the only option is one where it's 10 hours a day with onl half an hour lunch break, assembling parts. I can't do that.

ETA: I'm very introverted and easily exhausted that even after eight hours, I'm too emotionally and physically drained that the thought of moving makes me want to cry. Not to mention a friend of mine--a term I use very loosely--works there and she's even more draining and wants me to go over to her and her boyfriends house every after work. And I don't trust her friends. At all. Any of them. Ever meet someone and get a gnawing feeling they're not a good person? And then get proved right? Yeah. That's them. One of them honestly seems like the type to take advantage of someone while they're high/drunk/passed out, and one of them has.

Be smart. I'm the kind of guy that would honestly fall for it if someone said they wanted to be my "friend" and promised me something if I did some stupid/illegal thing for them.

I'm going to college soon, and I'm slightly worried someone could deceive me like that.

Yeah. She herself isn't a bad person, and her boyfriend is probably the only good and stable person in her life. I keep coming up with excuses and I feel bad but her friends are just a no go. And I'm generally an open person who can easily be friends with anyone from any walk a life, regardless of opinions and beliefs. Maybe I'm being too judgemental.

One of the nice things about the (general) population is that they understand the word "No" or "I'm not interested." and don't bring it up and like you said, you gotta be smart. When I visited a friend in Houston, he offered me a beer and I told him I didn't drink and he never brought it up again.Go with your gut instict, at least, that's what I do. And join clubs with people who share the same interests. Idk your denomination, but most campuses have a church somewhere close by (the one in my city is also a coffee shop, I go ghere sometimes because it's cheap and good). I wasn't very active when I was going to community college, but I met people with a shared interest in anime, history, and languages. If I got a bad feeling from them, I'd keep things impersonal. There's actually not as much peer pressure as people make it seem :p I just have a friend who has a bad habit of getting into the wrong crowd.

Thanks. I guess I'm worried that someone will offer me booze, drugs or sex, and I will feel "rude" for saying no.

Irritated. I never knew how passive-aggressive I was until my supervisor called me out on it today. She was like, "You made so and so cry. You're really passive-aggressive, you know that? I don't have a problem with it, but could you try not to do that?" I was like, "??? What do you mean?" she pointed out with one of the people who works with us, someone who makes every issue about him, that whenever he says something, I make some off-hand, kind of mean comments towards him and about his behavior without ever saying it.

Like, "Oh yes. Because you've totally never been rude to customers before, huh? You being called up into that office was just undeserved and that you should just be exempt from all punishments?" which was something of my most recent comments. I shouldn't do that, but eh. I've made him cry by being honest, and I know I can be mean in my honesty but this kid doesn't get it if you sugar coat things. I mean, I did half apologize. Half as in, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry or come off as mean."

I'm just gonna watch cartoons for the rest of the night. I'm too emotionally exhausted. Have too much to do tomorrow (call police department about cat, call all my doctors about different things, gotta do laundry) and don't wanna do anything besides sleep and forcibly cuddle with one of my cats.

Yeah, my brother says stuff to me like that, too. So being on the receiving end of it I can relate to it being annoying. But I don't think I'd cry about it. :D I've probably said stuff like it, too, so don't feel too bad. Just do your best to not say stuff like that later on :)
