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.

My dear sweet brother, PLEASE pray about this you never know this person that you are getting set up with could be the perfect woman for you. PLEASE KNOW that I am praying for a happy ending with both parties involved. Keep us posted, I HOPE it is a happy ending. I love happy endings.I'm feeling a bit apprehensive. It seems there's someone on CF trying to set me up with someone else who posts here. That in itself is ok, but the last time I had someone trying to set mye up, it resulted in drama that eventually led to me losing my most important CF friendship. I just don't want anything like that happening this time.

I want some peace. Then maybe I won't do anything wrong. I can't think or focus anymore. Constantly pulled in many directions, the expectations, the clutter in my head.
And I also realize I'm a lousy Christian. I've disappointed Jesus.

Thank you Susie. I appreciate your prayers. Its so bad that I've broken every Lenten requirement. I even ate meat last Friday. I stopped going to Mass. I feel like I am unworthy to go to Mass. I want to do this for Jesus but I keep failing because of all the distractions and chaos in my life. I make a terrible Christian. I can't go to confession ... it kills me to go to confession because I'm too shy and private. Its so hard ....
Thank you for listening.
I'm thinking about reading my bible again. It's been months. God said that He knows that I'm angry but do I ever stop and think about how He feels not hearing from me.
No, I didn't.
Still drinking though. Trying to get a grip on anxiety and fear and just do the things that I've put on hold because of these things.
I want a better life for my children and myself.
I don't have disability anymore. Not sure I want to be on it for the rest of my life anyway. I just want to live and whenever, however I do go out, I want to go out a fighter -- not a lowly victim.
Blessings and Peace.
Love, hugs and kisses to you all.
What kind things... you say to all the hurting. God Bless *you*Sweetie, you haven't disappointed Jesus! You love Him, and that's all he asks - and you are so very very precious to him.
You reach out to those who are hurting, you encourage those who are struggling - that is far more important to him than when you eat meat or go to Mass.
You are a wonderful Christian, because you display His love and compassion to the world.
The rules and requirements are to help you, sweetie, not to trip you up and discourage you. Do what you can, let Him take care of the rest, and Keep loving
Praying for you, sister
