• 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've been struggling for a long time with my mental health, in and out of hospital, been sectioned more times than i can remember, a lits of dignosis thats way too long. and im tired. im emotionally, mentally and physically drained. I dont know how much longer i can keep going with it. Im currently in a crisis unit waiting to be moved to an ED unit(well supposedly as long as they feel they can handle me how ive been rcently.) Ive had meeting after meeting about the appropriate care that i need and which area should be dealt with first, which one puts me more and rist, and the stupid thing is nones actually asking me, theyre talking about me in front of me and talking at me! i feel so small and lost. I'm twenty one, i feel about ninety, i see all my mates going out to partied, finishing uni having a good time and i hate it. i hate everything about my life right now, i want to be a 'normal' twenty one year old. is that to much to ask. I want a day where everythings ok, where im not treading on eggshells around myself, where i actually have silence in my head, where all im worrying about is something simple!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry im having a little whoa me rant and wasnt sure where else to put it!!!!! I just want to be free from all this stuff going on, i dont wanna be me with mental health. :'( sorry

Hi Katey,
It's tough to be offer anything besides encouragement when I don't know your situation or the things you are struggling with. I think that managing things is two-fold. One is that often times we need help, sometimes this means through medicine. However, on the other hand that is not a complete fix and we are responsible for the other half of trying and making it through.

What I know is that God is always with us and I believe He gives us strength to move forward if we are looking to Him and seeking His will.

Hugs.

Katey,

Life really hurts so bad some times.We just want all the pain to stop so bad.
We really really have to cry out to Jesus with all our heart and hold tight to Him.
He is our Good SHepeherd and He protects us and leads us to still waters and restores our soul and comforts us.Times are really painful and hard in life now days.
All we can do is hold onto Jesus and come to Him for rest and healing.I am sorry you are hurting so much.
One day Jesus will wipe all tears from our eyes.

and the stupid thing is nones actually asking me, theyre talking about me in front of me and talking at me! i feel so small and lost.
we are weak, Jesus says we can do nothing of ourselves.
But Jesus gives us His strength.
It would be kinder if they involved you in the discussions and ask you what you think about things.

See all what Jesus does for us.
He loves us so very very deeply.


Luke 4:18
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Mathew 11

28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light

Jesus went through so very much for us , we cannot even comprehend what Jesus went through for us, because He loves us so.
Isaiah 53


1Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors

Things will get better they will not always be so hard.
I hope you get better soon


blessings

I know it's very hard to accept a mental health problem. I have struggled with accepting it but once I did and realized I was just as good as anyone else I felt better. I stay close to Jesus and that is the ultimate help for me. People that talk in front of you about you don't know what they are doing. They would not like it if it was done to them. Forgive them for they know not what they do. I am praying for you.

Can't come up with any decent words of encouragement right now, but just wanted to say that I can relate. I guess technically I'm more stable than I used to be...haven't been hospitalized for mental health stuff in several years and the ED's fairly minimal, at least behavior-wise, but I'm still feeling pretty helpless and hopeless at this point. Also so alone.

:hug:

There is always help and hope for you. Loneliness is so hard at times I know. I go to a support place and that has helped me just to be around people like me. You have done so much for yourself. I applaud you.:clap:I am praying for you.:crosseo:

How are you right now Katey? I have had very tough times with my mental health. I felt that God was carrying me through it all and at the end of the tunnel was a bright light. I am better now. Although not very good at confidence yet but working on it - and mostly needing my faith to grow and me relying on grace more. I pray for you,
Let us know how you are soon.

Im trying to work on eating and the ED side of things and then when i think im slowly getting on track everything else starts and im back to square one!!!! my heads driving me mad!!!!!!! does that actually make any sense at all. It wont shut up at all, all my voices all the negative voices and jus the general ones and then ive got outside things going on that im trying to deal and cope with and thats just not happening at all :( i dont even know if im making much sense but im trying

I just want to go home i dont want to be around people, i know theyr trying to help me i do know it and my mates are trying to get me through it but im tired :'(
