• 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'm feeling unwell today, I woke up at 3 am and couldn't get back to sleep. It looks like it is going to be a long day


I woke up at about that same time. I had a dream that i think i already had once or twice before and i woke up. I couldn't get back to sleep either and then i had to do a little repair work on something even though i was tired, but coffee helped a lot.. I took a little nap not long ago and i feel a little more rested now.

I slept well last night and felt really good this morning. I went to prune some fruit trees but had to stop half way because I was exhausted and felt so sick. I have felt very unwell ever since. Bummer it is such a nice day outside, and the fruit trees are all beginning to bud, a couple of hours is all I need to finish the job.

Amazing how much I'm struggling right now. Lets hope it calms down somewhat because our oldest granddaughter turned 8 today and we are going there for a BBQ later this afternoon. The way I feel at the moment may put a spanner into the works unless I cycle into a better mood later on. I'm shaking all over that is how bad I feel.

I've been reading on the other forums, I wonder how many lies I've swallowed, better check I suppose maybe that is why I'm in overdrive. I agree with much what Atheist think - their version of god I wouldn't serve either - yet many Christians do, I wonder why? I do know that it causes me much pain I can't even begin to think how much our Lord is hurting that.

All I want to do is love everybody, oh how I need Jesus, because I at times I find it very hard to love my own brothers and sisters in Christ.

I guess that you meant to say that you Don't agree with much of what Atheist think, and i'm in agreement with you on that. I don't find it very edifying to to discuss faith and truth with unbelievers. About loving our brethren, I think its easier to love each other when we dont feel a need to preach to anyone. I figure if someone wants to know the truth then they will pick up the bible and see it, but if they don't then there isn't much use to tell them the truth because it will only lead to debate which wars against our own spirituality and peace. Debate often only feeds the carnal man rather than the spiritual one, in my opinion. I find peace and joy in by resting in the knowledge of Christ and so i don't need to get around unbelievers who will only crowd my peaceful place within.

Paul said that we should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers because light has no agreement with darkness. Some people seem to interpret that scripture to mean that we shouldn't be married to an unbeliever but that isnt exactly what its saying because paul does say in another scripture that its ok for an believer to remain with an unbelieving spouse if they are already married. This scripture to me is far more important than just a marriage alone, and this scripture refers to things like politics and friendship. We cannot agree with unbelievers in political matters or in other issues either. A little leaven leavens the whole lump.

Its one thing for an evangelist to seek out unbelievers and share the gospel, and its one thing to be friendly to all people as well , but its quite another completely different thing to fellowship with unbelievers in friendship and political relationships. Its like Jesus said, if two cant agree then how can they walk together?

Tired. I should be sleeping, it's five am and I work a long shift today but I'm more or less working on notes since I'm trying to teach myself a second language (it's not going so well) and now, I just miss my cat. I really want him to come home, he's had his adventure and college started here and I do not trust the college students here and October is soon.

I have many cats and a dog. I worry about their safety often.

I would like to apologize to everyone, especially to Jeshu, for my frustrations last week. I just felt like my problems were being dismissed, and plus I was angry at the time.

all good.
I'm sorry I wasn't able to support you better than I did and hope you feel a bit better.

Annoyed. Can we ban teenagers from going outside, or enforce some law to keep them inside after eight? Is that too mean?

Back in the day, teenagers had much more respect and were not given the freedom they have now.. They grew up being much more mature and respectful, as well. We are living in a time that older values are not respected anymore. Its just my opinion.

They really, really do. And I say this as a 23 year old.

I agree. I find it quite strange - I am twenty years old but find that I can relate to, and more readily get along with, older individuals. I typically work days at my present job with older individuals; however, I have worked evenings occasionally. The evening/night shift is mostly full of high school kids and those just entering college. I hate to sound like a judgmental jerk, but I almost feel as if I might lose my mind it if I had to work nights with frequency. I just do not "fit in."

Anyway, trying to keep many of the other members here in my prayers. The needs may be great, the situation seemingly bleak, but our God is greater. We must keep our eyes on Him and the needs of others.

I'm okay, feeling a little perturbed after last night. Could anyone tell me why the VMA's or any other award show is popular and why people watch them? Because it certainly feels like I'm back in high school with catty teen girls who would post passive-aggressive statuses about each other on FB or MySpace or Xanga and then act like best friends or something and it's really weird seeing adults act like this.

I've been to see my doctor today. He told me that my nausea was caused by my increased levels of anxiety and stress because I went of my meds, and that going back on at least one of them should help against the nausea, but that otherwise my nausea couldn't be treated.

Not what I wanted to hear.

TRy to close your eyes and let go of the stress and worry. Put yourself in the arms of fate and just let go, I know that advice is a dime a dozen, but it works for me and maybe you might find it helpful as well

Sorry to hear that, Gerry. Praying you'll find something that will take care of the nausea.

Today I went down like a meteorite, streaking tail and all. I feel terrible and totally exhausted. I took my doctor's advise and took a little of my anti-psychotic this afternoon ( only .75 mg) All hell broke loose 15 minutes after I took that, strange how it increased the inner upheaval, I though I was going to loose it while at the same it deeply depressed me. It did manage to take the nausea away in the end. Not at all sure what would be best to do about the situation.
