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.

Feeling so down. My little Lucy bird is dying.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Ruth
Hugs!
I'm feeling down. Annoyingly down.
I think it can take at least 3 weeks to a month without any antibiotics, but I hope it doesn't take that long for you. Flus and colds can last at least 2 weeks, maybe longer, but I hope your immune system picks up soon.
Struggling with frustration over the fact that the more I try and fight my lustful urges, the worse they are. It's practically OCD, with just a compulsion and know obsessive thoughts. So just "pure-C", I guess. But it's terrible. Why couldn't I have just been a normal guy who got some girlfriends in high school and when on casual dates with them? My little brother (he's 13!) is doing that now, how come he got a girlfriend when I never did? I blame my Asperger's. Never knew how to really ask a girl out and so I turned to quasi-inappropriate content to fill the loneliness, and now I've trained myself to covet the things I can't have.
But I've got to stay strong and flee temptation. I want to get out of this and into a healthy opposite-sex relationship.
Feeling really down. want to cry but too scared to.

Yes I relate to the annoying bit. I was supposed to go to work today but stayed home because I was feeling so down. I'm feeling like crap.:o
I hope you pick up soon.
So many people feeling down. Praying for you all - that God will surround you with his love and lift you up.Feeling really down. want to cry but too scared to.
I'm glad things will be less stressful for you, brother.A workmate will replace my work next month.I will be more relaxed.
I am still tottering with my health, every couple of hours I cycle and the cycles seem to be getting worse.
I'm also shaking badly this flu has really undermined my health by the looks of it.
You need to get rest and good sleep Jeshu so your body can fight the virus and regain your health.........Hope you're able to do that! Praying for your recovery.
Stay away from antibiotics as its a virus not a bacteria. Have you tried cold and flu remedies and keep drinking fluids.
I'm sorry to hear you have been ill Jeshu.I have been drinking sage tea to aid healing and I have also been taking flu tablets off and on but I don't think the infection in my chest is getting much better any more, though it is not as bad as it was last week. I suppose I just have to sick it out.:o
