• 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.

Haven’t been here in a while. Prayers for everyone.
It’s been super mild for me, the last few months. Depression seems to be taking the back burner at the moment which is great.

Not feeling well today even though for the second time in a week i slept all night, which is greatest. However i slept because i felt so unwell and still feel nauseated and drained now. It is quiet normal for me to awake nauseous but usually after medication time and breakfast it kind of ebbs away to the background or sometimes it goes all together and i have a really good day.

i found it hard this morning accepting it wasn't going to lift today and i was going to have a crappy one again. When i first awoke at 7.15 am i had been so happy for i though i slept all night in an hour or so i will feel much better and then i can do.......

When i saw it all flop later on this morning then i found it hard not to feel angry with myself and had trouble shaking the feeling that i failed myself. For nothing but the essentials i had done of the things i wanted to do today. Got passed that now - just feel crap!

I hope everyone else is doing better.

Yesterday turned out to be a bad day, still not feeling well but not sleeping. i hate feeling nauseious for i know my emotions are too strong then and that remainds me of my psychotic times and still brings on a lot of anxiety and bad life. i have been working full on trying to off load the emotional input but i'm not keeping up like this.

i've done so well the last 3 months i don't want to go back again.

Please spare me a prayer. Thanks

Peace to All,

I come back. I like the loose and friendly atmosphere here, no unnecessary theological arguments, which hurt me in my church in Beijing. I just want to escape. Here is a good place to express care and love to each other. I miss you all. God bless you. :groupray:

I feel i need global support, I also support the globe. I think the global love and union in Christ is the most powerful. I need prayer for my relationship in my church in Beijing. I am hurt by some unnecessary theological argument, I just want to escape.

Wish you all a happy day!:groupray:

This whole concept of judgement for reward in Heaven just scares the crap out of me. Especially since I don't handle things the most Christ-like way because of my disability, my rough childhood, and desire to let people know that I am not worthless and that I can make positive contributions too.

I know the Bible says not to judge ourselves until the appointed time but I just can't help it because people have often unfairly judged me to the point where I can't even tell if they're the problem or if I am and I just don't realize it. This forum already gave me a really nasty panic attack thanks to the responses I got for my second featured topic.

Can't I just ask for an early retirement and end the stress and anxiety already?

View attachment 218005

Not sure if i understand you bro - judgement for reward in Heaven how does that work? There is no judgment for those who are in Christ and where we are not in Christ yet He will take us there either our lives are saved or we burn how can we have both? Surely you are not scared that Jesus will send you to hell because of who you are? Or am i misunderstanding the direction of your problem?

Sorry apart of telling you that your value is 100 percent in Jesus and nothing of you is outside of Him or not deemed valuable. We are His offspring plusd you are a believer in Jesus as Saviour 1 Timothy 4:9-10 tells you this has double benefit. How could you miss out on Heaven when Christ paid the price?

There are several denominations that believe all Christians will be judged for heavenly reward that will last an eternity. They are things like positions, treasure, and honour and the biggest reward is Jesus telling you "Well Done, my loyal and faithful servant". Compared to most in the country, I'm something that can be considered the least of the world and I do not wish to be considered the least in Heaven. I hurts to know that I'm a failure to everyone in this life and it'll kill me if I'm considered a failure in God's eyes for an eternity.

Read up on the Bema Seat of Judgement.

Sorry no tales on judgment such is always extra biblical as far as i have determined. See as far as i'm concerned all such talk is speculation and i don't heed speculation far to untrustworthy to build our feelings on.

What does Scripture say bro.

Is Psalms 139:13-18 not true about you and what about Romans 8:1-4, no condemnation in Christ, while Psalms 34:12 tells us there is no condemnation for those who put their trust/faith/refuge in Him?

So why worry what anyone says bro? please consider the truth and rejoice - i say rejoice, again i say rejoice. Jesus will grind all your enemies to dust and all of Heaven will celebrate your Victory in Christ as you will everyone else's - Sorry dooms preachers there are no losers in Heaven whatsoever! Your cup will be filled to overflowing and you will inherit the full God head just like Jesus you will be, we all will be truly ourselves like He was, is and always will be The Son of God so shall we all be a son or daughter of God in our full right. Honest you will see, such is HIS Victory yours to find, but it is given not earned. Faith brings us victory not whatever we have been able to add to that down here.

Here i prove to you that Heaven is for those who are branded loosers and misfits down here

Isaiah 61
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion –
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendour.


They will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.
Strangers will shepherd your flocks;
foreigners will work your fields and vineyards.
And you will be called priests of the Lord,
you will be named ministers of our God.
You will feed on the wealth of nations,
and in their riches you will boast.


Instead of your shame
you will receive a double portion,
and instead of disgrace
you will rejoice in your inheritance.
And so you will inherit a double portion in your land,
and everlasting joy will be yours.


‘For I, the Lord, love justice;
I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
In my faithfulness I will reward my people
and make an everlasting covenant with them.
Their descendants will be known among the nations
and their offspring among the peoples.
All who see them will acknowledge
that they are a people the Lord has blessed.’


I delight greatly in the Lord;
my soul rejoices in my God.
For he has clothed me with garments of salvation
and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness,
as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
For as the soil makes the young plant come up
and a garden causes seeds to grow,
so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness
and praise spring up before all nations.

And Jesus told us....

Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.

‘Then he sent some more servants and said, “Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.”

‘But they paid no attention and went off – one to his field, another to his business. The rest seized his servants, ill-treated them and killed them. The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city.:amen::amen::amen:

‘Then he said to his servants, “The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.” So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, the bad as well as the good, and the wedding hall was filled with guests.


be of very good courage bro
