• 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 wondered if anyone had any techniques to managing emotions, not sure how to write this, but Im an oversensitive person and sense "energies" that I know rationally are not there, but its difficult not to respond to it emotionally. I practise mindfulness but lately its not been easy. I know that its irrational, emotional and not real, but the emotions easily become overwhelmed. Im a new Christian and I don't know if my new path is helping or hindering my mental health situation.
