• 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.

:hug: i'm sorry you're going through so much right now. I hope you can get better.

:hug: thanks. i'm refusing prescription painkillers because i hate how they make me feel in the long run though i like the numbness. i may just be getting sick, weather is changing and all.

apparently x-plane is 8 double sided dvd's big - I'm really looking forward to it - someone told me that there are 15000 airports from which one can start their missions - and 100s of aeroplanes to choose from - including a ride on a space shuttle. I've always been a lover of flight simulators but this seems to be the mother of them all. I should have it by the end of the month.

have a nice day:wave:

wow, that's huge. i can see why it's so expensive! i hope you enjoy it and that it arrives sooner than expected.

tired. today went a little better than expected and everyone is overly worried about me because i'm in pain. i may just be getting sick and this is all just nothing, since it is colder out and i haven't been dressing wisely because i'm in denial that it's october already.

the little sleep i did get, i had a nightmare and woke up. serves me right for reading spooky stuff that my friend links me, though i know there are all logical explanations to these things (long exposure, smoke, photoshop, your brain filling in what you can't see, etc) but they're still a bit spooky anyways. i do enjoy a good ghost story though.

I'd hold back on the ghost stories for a while, so that you can sleep for as many days as possible. Also, don't read or watch anything scary after dark. trust me.

A little freaked out. There was a pounding on my windows and mine are blocked by the flood walls/tunnel, and the tunnels are generally sealed off so I just. called the cops. It's been a little over an hour now.

It is great to love and be loved, We had 8 grand children up today, seven for most of the day, boy do they keep you on your feet, the oldest is 8 and the youngest 1. It was good fun though I got a head ache now and one stage I had four on my lap, talk about having been blessed.

Early to bed tonight I think, they took the mickey out of me.

I feel like this. IM also hoping in this. IT makes sense out of many things i see and feel.


Romans 8:23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

Just great... I can't go on Sunday because the freaking Logisticare jerk who took care of me HAD to call the psychosocial clubhouse and deny me a reservation. *expletives coming out of my mouth* And I've tried calling to the clubhouse in question itself, but no freaking luck. *sighs* This must be a sign from God to learn to travel by myself, whether by public transportation, or car, or scooter, or motorcycle, or even a taxi.

Some people on here are just jerks. Getting so offended over one little post and thinking that the person is just this horrible monster just because they made one little gaffe. Or, as I learned today, being very stubborn, self-entitled, and insisting that he's right and that all Christians are at fault just because he had a bad life. I was trying to reach out to him and try to maybe show him that most Christians aren't terrible people, but he just rejects me for the sake of...I don't know what. He literally said to me, "I'm always right". What a jerk. :(

Patience, brother. Take it easy, relax, and don't force yourself into arguments you don't want to have just to prove a point that the other one does not want to hear. Even if he's arrogant, he's probably just lost. People tend to have certain walls of false confidence that crumble when things gets real. If you want to show him love, show him. You don't have to buzz around him all the time, but there might come a time when he needs help and love, and if you happen to be there, you can show that love.

Our love shouldn't be an argument we are trying to win.

I did not mean this as an accusation towards you, if I came off like that. Not at all, I just hope you can let some things go that you can't force to happen immediately, and be patient. The serenity prayer is an excellent prayer, and there are so many situations to where it can be applied.

When I think about these things, I realize I have been exactly that jerk who was always right (edit: I still sometimes am, good reminder for me). I was surely a pain in the butt for many. And for what? For my useless ego.

Debating people only causes heartache. I been there too many times. Politics and religion dont help us follow the spirit, and debate is just a stumbling block. Thats why paul urges us to have one mind and one judgment, because anything else is just strife which wars against our soul..

I respectfully disagree. Surely living in a bubble cannot be healthy. I find debates to be great for the brain, it helps you think and strengthen your arguments :) yeah, you may think or come across information you may not like, but that's part of growing and learning. Life isn't meant to coddle but it isn't meant to hurt (like it does). Ignorance may be bliss, but there's a point where it also harms you or people around you.

No offense but that's not what we are taught as Christians. Im not talking about ignorance, and its actually wisdom that im referring.

But see, I wasn't debating him. I didn't go looking for an argument. I just wanted to show him some kindness and maybe brighten his day. Instead, all I got was "I have every right to be a grouch!" :(
