• 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.

(((((((((((((((((((BIG HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
I know the feeling, I am 37, can't wear make up can't dye my hair and cause of that NO GUY will even look at me. I am a plain jane, never been in love no kids, average IQ. I sleep most of the day cause I can't even work cause of my fear of being left out and social phobia. I quit many job cause of it. I still talk to my stuffed animals. I hide from a lot of things.
You and I are SO MUCH alike my dear sweet loving sister. I TOTALLY understand you. ((((((((((((BIG HUGS))))))))))))) once again and PLEASE KNOW that I am praying for you.

Dear Adrianna,

You are so young, and I can't tell you how sorry I am that this has happened to you. You have only known Christ since last year, and tat's no time to get very far; especially since your illness keeps you isolated. Please don't regress. I want to see you posting here all the time. Do it in anger or whatever, but don't go away.

I found a Yahoo Answers page where several young people posted a discussion on the fact that they suffer with Severe Social Anxiety Disorder.

I'm pasting the link here, and you really need to click on it and check it out.

Father God, You are the only one who truly knows what has caused Adrianna’s disorder. Heal her and give her a whole new mind – still sweet Adrianna, but free from all fear and anxiety. Make her new and reveal to her what she means to you. Be her constant companion and help her find the strength to look to you again and again and not give up hope. Send people who click just right with Adrianna – others who understand her pain – give her friends and a support group. Lead others to her and rescue her so that she can be the person she knows is buried deep within her. I ask that you give Adrianna to me and not allow Satan to devour her any longer. Give her to me, and God, I give her right back to you where she belongs. Set her free to live a Godly life. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Isaiah 54
“Fear not; you will no longer live in shame.
Don’t be afraid; there is no more disgrace for you.
You will no longer remember the shame of your youth
and the sorrows of widowhood.
5 For your Creator will be your husband;
the Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name!
He is your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,
the God of all the earth.
6 For the Lord has called you back from your grief—
as though you were a young wife abandoned by her husband,”
says your God.
10 For the mountains may move
and the hills disappear,
but even then my faithful love for you will remain.
My covenant of blessing will never be broken,”
says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
14 You will be secure under a government that is just and fair.
Your enemies will stay far away.
You will live in peace,
and terror will not come near.
7 But in that coming day
no weapon turned against you will succeed.

Thanks. I'll just have to deal with being single and childless until I die, whilst watching others (non-believers) around me getting married and having babies, nice. I'm sick to death of it.


Well, Adrianna; why don't you sketch up the kind of man you want to marry and share it here with us. We can talk about what we like and give you our thoughts on your thoughts, and it would at least be a break - small break from the tangles.

It could be fun and even that has to be better than this.

Give us a chance. Give it your best shot. Make it a mission.

I'm here, and I love you.

I don't give a <staff edit> anymore. I'll be who I want to be, even if it is abnormal or odd. I have severe social anxiety disorder and live like a hermit, I have no friends cant work etc. I've been dealing with this <staff edit> since I was 7, and I'm tired. I'm surrounded by people who don't care or don't understand, and i'm going around in circles.

I'll never achieve my dream of getting married and having kids. I'm sick to death of hearing about people who are getting married or are having kids, and I just wish everyone would shut the <staff edit> up. YES, I'm bitter. <staff edit> Life is <staff edit> cruel. I feel like I have no control over my life, the only thing I can control is being a little girl again, and I will do just that. I will regress and live like a little girl, which is who I really am. I'll decorate my room like a 6 year old, I'll wear clothes like a 6 year old, I'll talk and act like a 6 year old. I will continue to suck my thumb and hold my blanket. I dont care anymore. I'm done.

Adrianna,
I would like to share couple verses with you. I love to read the Amplified Bible, because it shows the true meaning of the Greek, and Hebrew; I would like for you to please read this verse carefully, and ask God to work that in your heart. For the truth of the matter is that you are bitter with God, because you blame Him for all your dreams not being fulfilled. God has a plan for your life, but it is your choice to engage in that plan; just because you are going to church does not mean that you are in His plan.

Isaiah 55:8-9 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord.9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts"

Remember this verse. What you really want, it not necessarily what God has in mind for you. If you submit to this, then God will bless you. If you do not submit to this, then you are going to be tormented as you are right now.

Please read the verse below carefully, for it says a lot

Isaiah 62:1 ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you--rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!

One thing that I have learned in all these years of ministry, you do not have to be like this. Jesus has come to save us, and it is available to anyone that receives that sacrifice. But you MUST receive it, that is your will. You don't have to be that way. You just are the way you are because you allowed yourself to be that way.

Hope this helps!
