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.

What type of job?
Common problem with a lot of us, Firefly. I have recently redoubled my efforts to rid myself or at least greatly reduce them. It's a battle....no.....WAR!I'm getting bad, intrusive thoughts again.
I don't know how to explain it to my therapist.

Love the graphic, Gerry. That about says it all.Tell your therapist that darkness got into you and is attacking you and hurting you because you love light to be not darkness. I'm sure you will be able to explain much better the content of the darkness hurting you to her or him after that.
It is the ugly truth you (and us all,) are battling isn't it?
Much love finding words to expose the darkness and your pain because of that.

Prayers and intercession, my brother. Would that I could lift this oppression off you; it grieves me.Feeling sadder every day. Sad that our Lord must hurt us so badly 2000 years after He made everything Okay. What has satan done with The Truth down here?
Not that Scripture says it wrongly, The Word of God never does, though the bible can't match that truth, there is still very much Word of God in it.
Just look at the beast of the earth devouring this planet all around us, the very evil we sinners released upon God's beautiful Creation. Already 1/3 of The oceans is polluted beyond repair! Pollution that will kill and maim all life down here for thousands of years to come is leaking into the sea irreversibly right now and there is nothing people can do about that. Talk about Scriptural accuracy prophesying how bad life within humanity will bring humanity to the battle called Armageddon, One of those Wheels of truth within His truth is so very close by right now.
When will our Lord Come?
Not only that my sin don't stop. I have battled sin all my life and I'm still at it though I have learned to hate it and know there is safety with Christ for everything in me that belongs to Him.
I know for life in sin itself there is no hope at all and it will all perish. So why have I still have life in it? Why keep producing more black matter? Why continually expand my reality/soul like that - driving all those awesome sons and daughters of God further and further apart, and bringing everything down to sub zero degrees inside swallowing-up all my light? Confusing mattes even more as far as I'm concerned.
I want my universe to collapse!
I want my black matter to light up!
I want The Heavens BACK in PLACE!
How I long for Jesus to come and make this all right. I'm up to here with myself as is.
2 Petter 3:3-18
Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.
Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.
Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

My ex messaged me last night and he's trying to maneuver his way back into my life. I told him no and he's acting like a baby about it because I used to never tell him no and I would never stand up for myself. I wish he didn't message me because now it's opening all these bad memories and wounds.
Any way you can block his communications? If so, do it for your own peace of mind if you really don't want to deal with this person.My ex messaged me last night and he's trying to maneuver his way back into my life.
