• 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.

My life feels black and white, WHO TURNED DOWN THE SATURATION RATE?
Asides from that I gotta say that this is an interesting thread, making people speak about their troubles gives me a sense of unity, surely this is what fellowship should be like :D
I'll be praying for each one of you, may God reveal himself upon us more and more as we overcome our daily walls.

Welcome to the thread, David! Great to have you! :hug: :clap:

And it's about time I say something, too.

Yesterday was crazy. Basically, a bunch of minor inconveniences made me angry for a large portion of the day, until I went to go get my haircut and found a book on prayer in the waiting area. Just a tiny thing with a few examples of prayers for certain things.

A lot of it were issues of mine: anger, obsession, addiction (not technically, but maybe in a psychological sense), apathy, laziness, loneliness...I almost wanted to ask if I could just buy the book and take it home! I didn't, of course, but reading it made me realize how unhealthy and un-Christian it was for me to hold onto all of this.

I came back feeling better and at peace with myself.

The next day, however, I sort of fell into my old habits with erotic stuff. But I guess the best thing to do is not to beat myself up over it. No matter how much wiser I become, I'm still human, I guess. That's the lesson I'm taking from all this.

The road to edification is a long one, but grace is right there the whole time. :amen:

Welcome David! Miss u 2!

Yesterday was crazy. I figuratively got mad at flies but then I read a book and was no longer mad, praise God!
I watched Satan again :(
It takes a long time not to watch Satan.:amen:

I don't want to go through this. :( tough day!
I'm very sorry to hear that, I hope you are better now :)
My prayers go out for you :)
Not so good.
I pray so the not so good will turn into not so bad.
I had a really bad day today at work and almost quit my job. I cannot take another day like I had today. I really can't. I'm crying...which I haven't done in quite a while. I just can't take anymore.
I'm very sad to hear that you hate your job, I will pray that God provides you with a good opportunity to escape that horrible job.
VERY depressed! I just want to close my eyes and have this depressed feeling go away for ever! I hate feeling this depressed. :cry:
I think that it's safe to say that every depressed human being hates its depression, I pray that God will provide you with support and change how you perceive life.
I feel your pain sister. I have had it where I just want to recluse and not talk to anyone.
I had a dummy spit earlier today but I am feeling better now
I pray that God will give you wisdom and provide in your time of weakness.

Thank you, David, that means a lot :hug: but I think I can manage. The stuff I look at probably wouldn't even get blocked, and I don't want it to block something that's harmless (sometimes those sorts of things mess up). But I will consider it, though. Who knows, maybe I'll need it. I'll keep the link around just in case.

I'm finding that it's a bit easier now to resist the temptation to go back to lusting. But there are other sins I have to deal with.

I'm starting to realize that I'm letting resentment cloud my mind. It's not healthy, and it just leaves me bitter. Maybe it's "righteous anger", but it gets me so upset that a lot of times I just get left feeling anxious or want to chase it away with something dirty.

Right now, though, I'm ok. I'm just very busy with school stuff.

Very sad. My dog was unable to move today and I had to put him to sleep :cry: my stupid emotional numbness is causing me to have random bursts of crying. He definitely wasn't just a dog. He was a family member and my house feels empty and lonely right now :( he always loved me for me. His love was so pure and genuine and he would always be so happy to see me. It was so nice knowing someone felt that way about me.

I'm sorry to hear, JOSHUA :(
Prayers, friend

Thank you. It's difficult. I'm still not over losing someone else in my life and it can be a lonely feeling. My dog was the most heart-warming and kind dog on this planet. He finally has stopped suffering from his health problems though and that's comforting. I strongly hope he's in Heaven. I refuse to believe otherwise. He and I will sit and watch nature together again like when we were young.

Thank you :hug:

Feeling a bit mentally uncertain. I'm starting to get this anxiety that my faith is going to cause friction for me against the world. But I don't want to give it up. But it's like if I briefly entertain the thoughts of being an atheist, I'll just become one instantly. It's not as scary as it used to be. But I don't want to not be a Christian anymore. I just feel strange. I guess I mustn't panic. My faith isn't really "slipping" from me. It can't happen without my conscious decisions.

Sorry I haven't been around - still praying for everyone.
My mother and my husband have both been undergoing tests for suspected cancer, so I've been occupied trying to look after them both - which is complicated by a 300 mile journey between the two.
Please pray for them, and for our children and me.
Thanks.

I "feel" like being an atheist.
Doc, please don't do thid duud, faith has nothing to do with feelings, just like love faith is a decision, that you'll stick to someone no matter what you're feeling or what mental state you're in, I know you already know this, but I want to remind you in the days of dark :p

I'll pray for you too, I hope no one turns out to have cancer, but if they do at least they'll be given some to say their farewells, unlike many others that die suddenly, like a plane crash or a car accident.
