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.

Some mornings are good, but I go through periods where the mornings are difficult. Its anxiety, hopelessness. It lasts until i am fully awake, then it diminishes.
Some things you just cant talk about. Many people might even scoff at my trauma, or say its my own falt and dismiss it, as if it were nothing, but its damaged me severely. Its real and its hard.
[/QUOTE]When you feel anxious does it relate back to the past or the present? The same for the hopelessness. What do you do with the anxiety suppress it or express it? (To Jesus?) Do you confront your fears or are you terrorized by them?
I know you have a lot of hope, for you display that here, so what are you feeling hopeless about? A particular sin or weakness or something else?
Maybe something to think about brother.
Praying that you find rest my friend. God bless you. I have you in my prayers.Feeling crappy right now. I slept 4 hours so that was good it is only just 1 am, however I feel so nauseated and got a head ache I feel horrible.
