• 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.

In my country the rules are not strict. So we can go to a birthday party of a few people (6 adults and 4 kids in my case). I thoughy the party would be outside in the garden because of the nice weather. But because it was too hot it was at home with the airconditioning and fan on. The living room was small, there was a bit of 1,5 meter distance, but kids were sreaming and walking the whole time near us.

I have ocd and am scared easily (anxiety, phobia) And during corona I wash my hands a lot and am more scared than most people. My husband said it would probably be in the garden en not indoors so it would be fine to go. So I was shocked to see that it was indoors in their tiny livingroom but was too scared to say something about it to the host. So we sat there for almost 2 hours.

Now at home I’m scared for the virus. I can’t help it. I have a mental illness. My husband is not scared. I don’t know what to do and I feel lonely. I’m scared for this 2 weeks that I have to wait.
