• 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.

Happy but Sad. Tomorrow I go back to working 2nd shift finally. Ive been so miserable working 1st shift for the past 6 months. Well its finally over and now I get to back to the shift I love. But Im quite sad because now Ill be coming home to my best friends sleeping and Ill be alone. I wish I could have both the shift I love and coming home to my friends being awake. But I cant. I just feel Im going to get really lonely when everyone is asleep and Im wide awake in this big house and its so quiet. I just have loved coming home and my best friends are up and we could talk and do things. Oh well its gonna be alright Ill still see them on the weekend.

I feel like I'm in the crucible of conversion. Intense emotional pain this morning. In part I am feeling torn. I am praying and this is my 43 rd day of recovery.

Inb4 nobody replies.

I empathize with you. This is a difficult place to be in. I hope you are able to find some peace and comfort.

Thanks for responding :)

Peace comes and sometimes stays, it may be more like a pervading calmness. I left drinking behind and several freinds/aqquaintance so I am quite alone. My family is 1,000 miles away and I cannot afford to go home for Christmas and I may be losing my job shortly after Christmas because of budget issues and being locked out. The only and best place for me to turn is complete abandonment to God in trust. Though it is hard to be alone from people during this time. My old friends (don't drink) or internet connections rarely if ever respond to me (strange). i reach out and send messages but find my e-mail empty except for spam every single day.

On the side I support others, and am always one to intervene when others are feeling lonely, reaching out with nobody responding. I feel the need to intervene. When I am left in the lurch it feels tough and sad. :(

Well this weekend I've felt hurt. My son is in foster care and im suppose to be informed at all times. Bt ths wked he wasn't with his foster parents bt with a dif family. I didn't know ths til my son called. Bt I prayed for guidance. And I asked myself wht would it help if I go off. And the answer is it wouldn't so I've not responded in a bd way. So I praise God that he guided me to think before reacting in this matter!

Cranky,overwelmed,not feeling well.Boys are home. Lots of cleaning.Hopefully my keyboard on my laptop stays working as a good two tablespoons of sugar just got dumped on it by one of the boys. Have to figure out how to get it all out :(

Sorry to hear. I hope you get well.
:pray:

I'm quite bored. Been studying for the most part of the day. I gotta admit, just thinking about how God helped me get rid of my idol (some of you may know what was it), I'm still amazed. More so because I thought that it wasn't an idol. So I'm bored now and I think I'm going to pray for some new activities. My current schedule is quite dull. :boredsleep:

I hope you feel better soon.:hug:

(All that sugar in your keyboard might well bring new meaning to the term sticky keys.^_^ try tapping the bottom of your laptop holding it upside down, that should get most of the sugar out.)

(((BH))) That is tough. I am now working 2nd shift, and it has been hard...on a different schedule than almost everyone else. Makes socializing very hard. :( I'm sorry!!!

I am actually a morning person and love working 1st shift, but the only opening available was on 2nd shift. I am thankful for my job, even though it is taking some getting used to!
