• 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 love you guys. I feel good. I know life will try to slap me down sooner or later, but right now i feel good. I feel love inside, and it makes me happy.
Praise to God that He has lifted you up!

Ain't life funny? I've been doing really well lately but.......I have been in a nose dive for 2 hours now because of a stupid argument with the wife over.....wait for it......eyeglasses.

She's in town passing out resumes' & applying for a new job. I tried to read my Bible but my mind just wanders off. I just delivered 6 meals to shut-ins and feel a little better. I'm going to the gym and sweat it off and listen to something positive. I have a complete narration of the Psalms in my YouTube bookmarks.

Hopefully this feeling will pass soon but I have to fight the urge to just go back to bed and sleep. It would be a shame because it's a beautiful 73 degree sunny day.

Off to the fitness center. Later.......

Update....she just called to update me on the job search. Apologized for being so grumpy. I apologized for being insensitive. Kissy-kissy-hug-hug-I love you dear from both sides. Such is life. At the gym anyway but I genuinely feel I need a short nap later. :clap:

I'm starting to think that believing in God was the biggest mistake of my life, and that the "prayers" that were "answered" were nothing more than mere coincidences, and that the Atheists who made fun of me were 100% right to do so...

Unbelief.

Your voice turned me utterly insane,
believing your suggestions
thinking there is no God.
For you betrayed my Good Life,
pushing me into that bottomless pit,
into fiery Hell for years on end.

Flying right through my reality,
your miserable voice dividing
myself against myself,
your taunts attacking faithful self,
hopelessness cutting me up,
your lies barring access to true Life!

No faith feeding my starving soul,
instead doubt, confusion and terror,
false evidence locking my hopes away,
devoid from true self or any good thing,
torturing me in those dark dungeons,
you only ever set out to murder me!



I don't think that believing Atheists rather than God is going to make you any happier Loyal. See for yourself that believing Atheists will end up deep down the bottomless pit sooner or later, where only faith in Jesus can get you out of.

The Truth Of The Matter.

Dear friends how could the truth not be the boss over our life,
Would the truth not know best how things have been within us?
Please no more bloody demands from the truth about this,
it's time to be frank about our not so truthful times!

Why would the truth always suffer death at our actions?
That piercing penalty to sustain our lives?
Why would good life suffer our bad life all the time?
it's not actually a sound idea to proceed like this.

Daily our untrue ways demand the truth to provide,
we compete and work to gain some kind of good in life.
Still could our bad life escape the truth of our actions?
Would the truth then be at fault when our sins murder us?

Though didn't The Truth turn death into an awesome plan?
Salvation if we freely surrender our bad life.
Not right becoming truthfully okay from now on,
needing Jesus to survive The Truth of the Matter!

Easy for you to say... You were born with faith as a silver spoon in your mouth, while I was born with none

Faith in God is never easy because we are inclined to believe what we hear with our ears and see with our eyes and not to trust the unseen. Honestly my dear sister faith is a gift of God to all those who ask for it and then go to work with it so that it increases, no one has faith at birth not me either. I wasted years of my life doubting my faith in God and tumbling down that bottomless pit.

You seem much like me. Inside i have a lot of pain, and faith in the Lord is all i really have besides that. Nothing else makes sense anymore. I wait on the Lord.

Look at Christ as he hung on the cross, they mocked him. They put traps in his way, they conspired behind his back, then after they arrested him they beat him, made jokes and spit on him. That's how the world treats us. Thats also how we get blessed. In the end each of those people will not be laughing anymore. We will be laughing when our journey ends, but they will be mourning.

We will never fit into this world. In the end my heart is all that remains. What do i have to boast in? What do i have to make me feel secure or happy? Nothing. I have pain and sorrow deep within. IF ever i would stop believing in the Lord it would be now. I don't however, because in the end he is all i truly have. Everything else is gone. If i should lose my eyes, ears and speech, God would still be the one i talk to and hope in. This is purity in my opinion. Blessed are the pure in heart. My heart is pure because everything else has burnt up in the crucible of life. How can i possibly give up on the Lord? He is all that's left now. He cannot be destroyed.

You do have an excellent point there, and you sound familiar to me. Were you under another name before?

Dont look for miracles, anyone can believe when things are going good. Thats easy. Look instead at the cross. When life has not blessed you, and it seems more like a curse, think about the Lord within. Dont doubt, just invite him in by hoping in him. Dont hope for material things but hope instead for love. Focus on Gods love, because in the end our wealth will not save us nor comfort us. Nothing in this world will help, accept Gods love.

Do you see how poor the rich actually are?Do you see how rich we actually are?

I was feeling poorly, but now i feel good again. I told myself to wait on the Lord. Give him a chance to calm the winds. I feel so very blessed again

I am poor, and so miserable, yet i am so rich and happy! How can i know one without the other? Praise the Lord for showing me his richness. There is spiritual treasure and worldly treasure. Gold will not make my heart sing Gods praise, but his love will. Where will my gold be when the world has forsaken me? When i have ruined everything in life, and the world takes whats left, how will gold warm my heart? It will not, it will instead only mock me. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. I love Jesus Christ. Thieves cannot steal my treasure, moths cannot eat it, nor can rust diminish it. Praise the Lord.

It is the gold and silver of the heart that we are after - a God and neighbour loving person reaps more profit than someone that invests their money into the things of this world.

Its my observation that if i killed myself today that no one would care. Life would go on without me. Its sad isnt it? I want to be loved and needed, but i am not. Not by this world anyway. In my heart i seek the Lord. I just want to be loved, and to struggle no more. I want to feel loved, and forgiven. I want the Lord to wrap his arms around me and tell me that i am a good servant, although i am not. I am nothing, my soul cries out and God will hear, and he will give me life and love.

I cannot earn anything, and im a beggar. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, he will never forsake me.

why do people like Kanye or Beyonce? They're so mediocre ans Beyonce is only using the feminist title to pander to the Tumblr crowd.
Since when was she a feminist? Like, right before the Super Bowl? :doh:

You're wrong. I thought of hanging myself in my room two weeks ago. It was just a thought and not an attempt, and I went to my friends and cried. They were very helpful, just wanting me to know they did, in fact, care.
