• 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 will pray for you, and I will share a few words to consider. Though you say your depression is not physiological, circumstances may exaggerate your condition and over-power you. A knowledgeable physician (not all are) may want you to take some meds to maintain at a highter level to withstand stress better. Find a caring physician who will take time to assess you, or a compassionate Psychiatrist.

The rest may be up to you to learn to pray and have confidence in the Lord, and to take one day's problem at a time and look at all aspects of it for a sound judgment. You should also be very open and honest with your boy friend about your need to talk about problems more (not worry about them). Look up always!
