• 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.

Sometimes I wonder why God bothered saving me if this is the end.

i relate to that. i felt like that for years but God opened doors i could not have foreseen. We are much more than emotion. We can know the difference between right and wrong intellectually. i have used my emotional less state to glorify God for His care over me and my life. i have learned to accept i'm mentally ill and will all my life struggle with depression and psychosis. Yet life is good with the Lord i sought after His goodness. His grace. His love. His kindness. none of these emotions i can feel but i can know him in these things over my life nevertheless.

Seek after His good life. let the gifts of the holy spirit grow in your life and give God the glory with it by loving and caring for others who are down and out.

Never forget you have years of experiences suffering wrong. Once Christ sets you free from that you will have much to witness and will be able to give much support and care to those still hurting bad life without God's good life.

Be of good courage.

Dear brother

People make the mistake of making things all spiriutual or all physical, when we are very complicated and everything mixes together for good or bad. All areas need to be worked on when we get snowed under by life.

Now that you are enjoying your food, you must beware of food addictions, which is a weakness of all of us and makes us eat just a bit too much when the sugar devil raises its head. Our impulses are to eat the most fattening foods around us so that we will not starve when the body thinks that food is running out.

So to get on top we must cut out the addictive foods but slowly changing is best. Find some really healthy recipes that you love and gett them into your diet. And exercise. This makes a huge difference to mood. Perhaps the gym?

Improving ones health goes a long way to help us spiritually. Take this time, when you can concentrate on yourself to get moving with a good program going.

Medications help some people .... some not ... sometimes they even can worsen a persons condition.

I'd recommend spending a lot of time in Gods Word and in prayer.

We ALL go through tribulations in this world and need to recognize them as such ... mental anguish of various sorts are tribulations we do experience.

The better remedy is drawing nearer to the Lord and staying near Him.

May the Lord bring you peace. Amen

Hey there, that's a great question. There are actually many ways to meditate and pray. I found a video on Youtube that explains a few simple ways on how to meditate and pray. Here's the link to a video that gives some great tips.
Ally | Earn money by sharing short links :: Connecting with God - Guided Meditation - YouTube
Click on that link above and once you land on the page, click where it says
"I am not a robot." and then you will be redirected to the Youtube video that shows how to meditate and pray.

Has anyone here seen this woman on youtube before?

It is helpful to know that there are some people out there who can at least understand a little bit of what I'm going through.
