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.

heh brothers... one of mine recently been going through a drug problem. he went homeless, got jumped by three guys then got hurt by some swat guys cause they said he looks like a suspect they were searching for. when i'm homeless I won't let evil people get away with their evils even if I fail to stop them. life is still pretty good and yet bad at the same time. hope everyone is doing okay. I don't really want to go on but i'm fine.
Glad you are home safe. I was under the impression you were driving, not flying.We travelled almost 7000 km to get something i need but now because of some bureaucratic rules we couldn't get what we came to get. So hopefully this can get sorted without having to travel to Sydney again.
We stayed in a 5 star hotel for 2 nights only because it was very close to where we had to go. It cost us an arm and a leg. The first night we arrived just before midnight we had no hot water. But the suite was very nice and seclude from the city noises with beautiful views of Sydney harbour. (we picked that room on purpose.) They shifted us the next morning into a new suite with hot water but then we had all kind of noises come out of the drainpipes and a lot of city noises. The views were terrible - rooftops of the lower buildings below us and massive high rise buildings instead of a harbour view. We weren't happy.
The travels went smooth with some delay at take off on the way back but they gained time on the way back so we were still in time at our destination.
All being well i get what i need out of this trip, at least we got 30 days to get it organised. Didn't get much sleep last night as it was so noisy so i'm totally exhausted now. An early night i reckon.
Good to be home again.
I think I am hitting rock bottom. My physical and mental health are at a low point and the people at church can tell my spiritual health is suffering too. I asked my mother if we can try again with therapy.
Sorry you are dealing with so many situations at once.Hello Everyone I'm still around just been busy with getting a new dryer for the house the other one well, died the motor locked up and so playing catch up on clothes n bedding had to buy a bedding due to mine was in the wash wasn't planning on the dryer to go bleh the day I was washing sheets..... I'm sure some thing was teaching me penitence or the dryer decided it was time to say bye. But blessed we were able to get a new dryer in spite having to go to laundry mat to do our clothes that's stressful enough. My depression is gotten a tad better more energy has picked up, although now headaches have come with vertigo.. lovely. NOT I have to sit for a bit let meds kick in and pray the vertigo goes away so I can function through the day, although I do need call my Neuro for this new symptom I've had vertigo before but not with headaches so we'll see what is up with that and I'll call my audiologist to and see what is up as well. Prayers for all of you who are struggling I pray we all have good time and get through as God helps each of us every day as we ask of him. Blessings.
