• 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.

I know I'm not high, level and I'm not even sure if low... today feels like it's been a few days wrapped up into one?????

I think it's sinking in that my Dad's condition could go on for a long while. That this could be just the begining of a never ending spiral downward for him. Mom and us kids and of course Dad are on a rough road...but it's the one 'chosen' for us now. It's not going to be easy...

I do thank you for your prayers! It means so much to my whole family.

I won't type more about Dad till there is a major change. It just gets so darn repetative.
Keeping your dad and you in my prayers.

I'm thinking somewhere between Level & Low... with some nagging thoughts of 'giving up'... but I do fully realize this is NOT an option!

Thank you all that are lifting my family in prayer!

You are right, it is not an option. I am keeping you in prayer. It is good you realize it is not an option, that is important :)

I am unfocused, unmotivated, and feel unaware of what is happening to me. I feel like I am caught in a silent movie with one part... just standing there watching everyone else. Weird, eh?


Not weird at all...I have been there to many times that I don't care to remember.

I am...I don't know....drained. So many mixed emotions these last few weeks with my girls here. They fly out of here Thursday afternoon. Mixed feeling about that. Hate to see them go, but I so drained that I know it is time. Have had a great time with them here, but emotionally it is draining as the two of them fight non-stop, my youngest is very emotional and that is hard for me to deal with as it is hard enough to deal with my own emotions. Right now they are out being shopping with my mother in law, so just try to relax and take a deep breathe for a bit.

Currently... low. I hit the dumps last night. I was crying and my mind was racing for hours. Now today I just kinda feel... flat, emotionally. My mind seems to just be still and quiet though. Almost too quiet...
Keeping you in my prayers.

Hugs to all of you in the lows and peace to all of you in the highs.

I am more level today after days of anxiety and lots more ups and downs due to all the stress in my life right now. Been from shaking to crying to angry to want to be dead over the last few days.

Stress of packing up and going camping today! But perhaps once we are there I can enjoy and forgot all the problems and cares of the world. . .

My hope for you dearest Alive is that you R&R on a lounge chair and enjoy God's Awesome Creation :)

I was level most of the day. However, I am high tonight, as most of my nights seem to go, while I'm waiting for my Seroquel to kick in so I can get some rest.
