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.

Ari. I am a little less exhausted ... although not a lot ... I hit my snooze button twice on my alarm this morning, and in 9 minutes somehow I was back into a sleep deep enough to be dreaming.
Weird. Anyway ... how are you??
And AHHHHH!! I forgot that this is February!!
Arnold says many thanks for the bamboo tea and are there any crumpets to go along with it? (Don't ask me how he knows what crumpets are, I think he just likes the word.)
/me gets some coffee, sits down for a moment with Arnold and Ari and whomever else wants to join, and relaxes for a little bit before making breakfast & packing up for uni.
(You know, I hate how the times on this thing are wrong ... it's really 7am not 8am ... oh well. I guess that CF doesn't do daylight savings time [I couldn't even think of the term this morning, I think I'm feeling a bit stupid!!].) (Whoops, that was random ...)
Allison. I don't get triggered anymore. So the PM offer still stands.
This is one of those nights that I wish my hair were still dyed black.
...and you can't take back what you've taken away, 'cause I feel you, feel you near me ...
I'm so ... argh.
How are you all? Can I get anyone anything to drink? This is a coffee shop after all, and sipping on something usually helps comfort levels increase.

Ari, you made me giggle with your last post.![]()
Yeah, I don't really get triggered anymore unless I'm in a really bad place ... I just get bothered ... if that makes any sense? Like on Myspace, I was watching this video about SI, and they actually showed a girl cutting her wrist ... and that definitely sent off a warning signal in my head. Ugh. But it didn't make me want to cut. Whew.![]()
I did the whole snooze button thing today. I have a cardiologist appointment today so I had to get up after I hit it twice. I was having this weird dream about taking care of a baby that was only a few days old ... ick ... very weird, because she could already talk and was ordering me around! I have no idea how dream material gets into your head, you know what I mean? It's almost always about stuff that I never think about in real life. Freud would have a party with that, I think!!
* Arnold is so excited to have crumpets that he tries do a little dance, but is so fuzzily that he can't do a proper happy dance!!
He's definitely happy about those crumpets, Ari! Thank you for finding them ... I think he loves you more because of it. He told me yesterday that his distant cousin Ari was a pretty awesome person, and I told him that I already knew that.
