• 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 moved to another state a year ago because my Mom has family there and I was ready for something else. I have a disability (it's a long story) and applying for disability services here has been a long process, and for a long time I was sure I wasn't going to get approved for services. But God came through for me.

I met my case manager who is hired to let me know what services are available and how to get started with them. He said he would give us the names of some people we( my Mom and I) can contact, but he never did. And my Mom is having a lot of trouble finding a job. I've also had a really hard time with loneliness and trying to meet people. I've been going to church and attended a christian young adult group but it hasn't helped in regards to the social scene. (Eventually I stopped going to the group.)

My cousin flaked out on me for movie this evening, which got me thinking of how frustrating I am with everything at the moment. It feels like I can't get one simple thing done to move forward. I've asked God why things seem to be taking forever and what I should do. His response was "Wait."

Wait for what? I feel like I am not doing enough to help get things moving faster even though I know there's nothing I can do. I am also trying to remember what God has done for me thus far.

Is God answering me but I am just not seeing it?

I've been where you're at and I've found that if you push through with faith, hope and love when you get to the other side you'll be a better person for it and you're relationship with the Lord will be that much richer. God bless :)

Please don't be offended, but consider this verse: "Now we know that God heareth not sinners, but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth His will, him He heareth." (John 9:31). It means that one might be speaking toward God, but has no connection with Him. I don't know if you are a "born again" believer by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ is your Savior and lord of your life, then you can wait and trust Him to work things out for you. One then needs to learn patience.

God cares, and faithful saints have His promise that "I am with you always" (Mt. 28:20). Look up and be in prayer, friend.
