• 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.

Hey Jennifer here,
Hey “cf” here’s a question, when I’m mad/angry I put all my anger into skating or running sometimes. I run till I’m stumbling every couple of steps and I can’t go on any farther. I’ll finally fall and just pretty much brake down and cry. For example once I was talking to Cody a guy at my school about some stuff. Anyways, I ran out of school pretty much crying. the teacher told not to leave the class room. but I ran out of the class anyways. I got about 3 or 4 blocs before the teacher and my best friend could catch me. we were sitting on the sidewalk. I was crying the teacher was hugging me and my friend was kind of sitting behind me rubbing my back. the teacher asked me what was wrong. I told her that I had been out with Cody the night before and I went back to his place for a little bit. he asked if I wanted a drink I told him sure. but I didn’t know there was a lot of alcohol in it. I thought I was only a but he told me exactly how much he put in it. so I finished drinking it with out really thinking of what I was doing. but before I knew it I was doing some things I shouldn’t be doing really bad things And I got up this morning and came into class and was going to ask Cody what all I did for sure. I went over to him and we were talking and he started put his hand up my shirt cuss we were kind of doing stuff like that the night before and I told him to stop. but he just said come on baby. I told him to stop once more and then I push his arm out of my shirt and stormed out…. There’s more to the story but I think you get the picture. So the question is do you think this is a bad way of handling anger or not ? please talk to me tell me what you think or just ask me a question

You will be angry because

1) you did something dumb
2) something happened to you that you feel bad about
3) he tried it again

Each component needs to be dealt with one by one. You probably need to talk with a spiritually mature person you trust, and have prayer.

I know it feels like a terrible nightmare now but it will pass..... do not stay by urself about this.. this person also took advantage of you.. I dont know what u should do about this. But you should and I trust you are be concerned of what you did (though u were under the influence of alcohol), making penance of your sins and dont let the enemy put you into despair.. You are victorious if you repent of your sins immediately and dont be afraid.. U have to make a open confession not just privately to God . .. maybe u should do it through a priest... and after that be reunited straight away through Holy Communion.

Remember the difference between Peter and Judas was that Peter was trained spiritually and believed in the LORD to forgive his sins.. he had hope while judas didnt.. and despair itself is a sin.
You are not the only sinner I have done worse things than you.. because I delayed my repentance too long and im lucky that God kept me alive till now to repent of them .. I wish I did it earlier coz the spiritual war I had to fight was very hard..
And u too are going to have to fight a spiritual war with unholy thoughts probably and u can win with the Holy Bible.
I know ive said so much its scary but im not sure if you will come back here and its best because all sin no matter how small is great against an infinite Holy God.
I know I have more to say and im sorry if this is killing you..
Im going to pray that u heal from this situation and for whats right to happen between u and Cody..

Also I know the scary part is going to be with your parents.. but this should aid in your repentance and be willing to take the shame for a moment in front of humans who are just dust because we should be more ashamed in front of the One who we commited the sin against : Our Loving God..

Sweetie,

Running is a great way to deal with anger. It lets you release endorphins.

Don't drink alcohol when you are with a boy. The consequences can be devastating. Steer clear of Cody. He just wants to use you for sex. You are worth more than that.

Hugs,
Madison :groupray:

Cody's got to go along with the drinking. As far as your anger,running is great. When I'm angry I scream as loud as I can in a pillow!!
