• 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'm not sure if I can post in this section.
Even though you don't always have your family or friends around you, you must trust/feel the love they have for you.
Furthermore, it's not bad to show them you need their love during certain periods more than others.

No prayer (sorry) but compassion and love from me.

Lucy

p.s: Apparently I can post here.

I understand exactly what you're feeling, it's one of the most soul destroying experiences there is to have to keep a grin fixed on your face when inside you're just screaming.

Can't promise it'll get better, but if you ever want to talk about it I've had similar experiences.

I know it's energy sapping but I found keeping busy and having a focus helped me a lot.

If there's anything I can do, don't hesitate.

It's natural and OK to feel lonely and depressed at times. Many people here are anxious to be your friend and support you. Take them up on it and when you feel a bit better offer your support to others. Helping others is often a way to love, joy and peace.

And remember God loves you more than we can imagine and is always with you!

I know how you feel. The few people I have around me offline have no clue at all that I'm even depressed let alone how much so. Keeping up a happy front really can get to you.

:hug:

Hope you feel better soon.
