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.

That is such a good observation and question, and something I struggle with. I struggle with having a healthy attitude toward myself. On one hand, I want to avoid sinful, selfish self-love, to the point that I put myself and my needs above others. However, I typically am quite self-loathing in all honesty. I am just sick and tired of myself and my weaknesses and I am not sure if this is a Christlike attitude either.
I am keeping you and many others here in my prayers.
Hatred for OBOB, Christians, Atheists, Liberals and Conservatives. This place has only hardened my misanthropy, I feel absolute hatred toward the posteres on this site.
When Jesus sends me to Hell I will sneer at him for sending me to a world so devoid of God. This world is the true Hell and people are its demons.
I am devoid of all remaining grace and I can no longer bare the self-righteousness and the complete domination of liberals and atheists over the Catholic board.
I'd hope they all go to Hell, but then that would mean having to deal with their presence in my afterlife!

Listen, I know how you feel. I've had that resentment at people and the world as well, too. Some people on here tick me off as well, but I won't name names.
Don't sell yourself short and assume that you're going to Hell, and don't get excited over other people's condemnation. Just try to remember that everyone is a human being, and that maybe they have some of the same issues with hate as you do. I know I certainly did before I became a Christian, and sometimes I still do. I feel so much shame for my hateful thoughts, but I feel like I should feel even more.
Let God take away the hate. Pray to Him and ask Him to help you see people with love, sympathy and compassion. I know it's hard, but it is possible for everyone to be healed. __________________
I don't feel I'd be honest with myself if I was sympathetic and compassionate toward others. Perhaps in the end my natural state is being a bigoted, lazy worthless waste of human life, that would be homeless or dead if it weren't for amazing parents that tolerate my shut-in pathetic life.
People have lived full lives at 23, meanwhile I"ve accomplished nothing but earning a worthless History degree and getting 25k in debt to the University. No friends, no ambitions and a future at a dead end career teaching High School students and making a meager existence if I can find a opening at all.
At this point I don't care how much of attention harlot I must sound like, but life is wasted on me.
Restless, being on bed rest is so boring. I don't know how I am going to do this until the beginning of April when the baby is due.
It's similar to acupuncture, but no needles. It regulates energy throughout the body. Look into it, it's worth a try. I hope you find something that works. I remember not having a problem with flashbacks ever since I started doing it.
