• 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.

I think I might stay in this forum from now on, even though I've said this before and reneged. I'm just not feeling like anyone else cares except for the people here, barring a couple exceptions.
Yes, there is some good caring people here Lady Bug. It's hard looking for love in the world and you won't find it, I have tried, you only find love in Christ and those that have his spirit in full.

Hi @Paulus59 good to see you around. How are you doing? Has the depression abated somewhat? i hope so.

God bless you brother.
Hi there Jeshu,

My depression has improved and I'm out of that dark hole I was in for years, but I still have some way to go and I hope I reach there. It's been a long hard road and I hope & pray that one day I can use my brain to it's full capacity again. It has been a humbling experience to feel helpless & weak and totally at God's mercy. I'm 60 years old now and it's taken me so long to grow up.

I hope God is filling your heart with his goodness, wisdom & love and that your spirit is growing in Christ everyday? What great rewards we get from serving the Lord and doing his will. God bless you Jeshu!

Thanks brother. i might feel dead and dull, and drained inside but i don't loose the presence of The Lord any more. i have found Him in my suffering self the best.

Really amazing how that is to walk through the valley of death with Him by my side. It doesn't make the depression any less but it does help against suffering. To gently cry in His arm, praying for those who are hurting more than i am, praying for those with out Him in particular.

So bad depression when God disappears. i had that once for seven long years, they were the worst in my life, i hated my life then, but then He revealed Himself to me rock bottom and it has been a lot better ever since.

Thank you for your kind words. God bless you.

Yes, it is a journey indeed. We don't know life until we have walked through the valley of death and been refined by fire. I also have struggled with deep dark depression without God, that is hell in its essence and that is when you realize how precious Jesus is and can appreciate how he suffered on the cross for us. God's love is the most precious thing in life. God takes us on these journeys to put to death our carnal ways so we live in the spirit.

Amen.

Indeed brother never did i understand the cross better than at my worst rock bottom in my pit. The godforsakeness of it all even when we are not by God forsaken at all but He carries us at such times. What for me was one of the biggest discoveries, that, like me, God suffers evil, but unlike me God can get something good out of it, while i just made a mess of it and suffered it seemingly pointlessly. Yet with Jesus i learned to understand how God can get His best out of the worst situation, again the cross speaks the best, God knows suffering to such extremes that our own suffering pails into insignificance, but he always gets good out of it. His love truly never fails.

Hallelujah!

I hope I can go to church earlier.Recently I have to stay at home for the Coronavirus' spreading outside.

Wish everyone a blessed day.:wave:

Are there Corona flu cases in Being already? How can you stop a flu from spreading? It looks like the world is truly facing a major disaster. The last time the flu killed millions of people was in 1919 i think. They estimate 40 million people world wide.

We best pray and ask The Lord to have mercy on us.

Hello Everyone

so sorry Ive not been around lately just been busy babysitting and getting Dr.s appointments set up again and blood work done so its been hectic for that be done. The weather has been cold for those of you who are in the south know its been a wintry mix we had sleet and snow few days ago and now its moved on but we had rain again and headache and other stuff going on again. I think today we're going out to eat we gotten a gift card to a local place here in town so we're going to celebrate our engagement. We hadn't had a chance to go out in awhile Fiance has changed jobs this week so its been a long slow week of new hours just from 5am to 2pm but its working well. Taking him time to get up a bit earlier than he's used to. My allergies have been bad I hope to schedule with my primary to help me figure out how to combat it, driving me insane normally the winter I am good no problems but my body must be changing again and its year round now. Anyways I wanted to drop in and say hello and hope everyone had a wonderful new year and good start I hope of the year. Prayers and love. Oh also if I may ask please keep my sister Arlene in prayer I think she has another bout of something going on, she had or has a intestinal bleed but not sure if it cleared but something in throat is going on again and I don't know all the facts yet.

Hello Laura good to see you around again. i have said a prayer for your sister Arlene and i hope she will be okay. Let us know if more prayers are needed.

Anyways I wanted to drop in and say hello and hope everyone had a wonderful new year and good start I hope of the year. Prayers and love.

Thanks so far this year has been better for me than 2019. i have had fewer times of depression and the depression has been less deep. So that has been great. Just left a bout of 8 days depression behind me and feeling well today so that is good.

The weather has been cold for those of you who are in the south know its been a wintry mix we had sleet and snow few days ago and now its moved on but we had rain again and headache and other stuff going on again.

Here the weather has been mixed we had some really nice Summer weather as well as weeks of cold windy weather. It is Summer now but we have had days as cold as a wintry day.


Blessings.
