• 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 can understand how this dog feels some days, but today I'm feeling good and I hope God's light shines through the dark clouds to bring his love into your lives.

Great to hear you are having a good day Victor. i hope there will be many more.

i'm feeling fine today as well. God's love is like water to a thirsty soul. Living Waters.

God is good lets praise His name together

Hey all. I have a hobby about Mexican wrestling, and there's this little person in an adorable blue monkey outfit. Guess what one person had to say? It's "Creepy" with a laughing emoji. Seriously, some people. As if 2020 isn't hard enough already...

Yes 2020 has turned out to be a bad year even though depression wise i have done better so far than 2019. This whole Covid business stinks bad time. What draws you to Mexican wrestling? In what ways do you like this sport better than American wrestling?

How has life been treating you otherwise?

I am having mood swings. We made an offer on a house and it was accepted. I will move to the country. I feel confused but grateful and blessed in many ways. A lot of people are trying to adapt to this new reality.

Hello Jeshu, thank you for your kind God-given words! What draws me to Mexican wrestling is the masks and the colorful action, whereas most American wrestling (I'm looking at you, WWE) is just basically soap opera stuff.

There's nothing like nature, is there? My elderly mother and her man inherited a really old (and crappy, almost falling apart) cabin in the woods, and it's of no worth since nobody was willing to buy it, but they're still fixing it up against all odds. It's really not much, but they spend more and more time in there. A lot of animals there too, they just enjoy it all. They both grew up in the country too when they were kids, so I guess they always missed that life. I won't be surprised if they actually start to live there.

Anyway, all the best to you and everyone else in here. One day at a time.

I think I'll put myself in a psych ward...

If you have to, then you have to. I had to do it a few times myself. Let's hope it doesn't come to that, and that you can live through whatever it is that's bringing you down, but at least there it that option. Options are good. Christ be with you.

I'm afraid that I need to do it for my own sake. I tried to be patient with God, and He either is angry with me for all the sins or He has decided to abandon me to my own fate. Thank you for your concern.

God is faithful loyal, no one is more loyal than Him. Do put your trust in Him, He will never forsake those who love Him.

i hope your mental health will be restored. Some times a change of medications is warranted or good counseling is needed.

That Jesus go with you wherever you must go.

Peace.

I think that you if commit yourself voluntarily you may not be treated as badly as opposed to being committed involuntarily. Going voluntarily at least shows that you're lucid enough to understand that you're not OK.

In Australia when you get taken up involuntary then they can smite a court order forcing you to take medications and see doctors or having to stay in hospital. It happened to me a few times unfortunately. i have learned to understand that it is best go to hospital before things run out of hand.

i do hope loyal will be okay. Hospitals can be scary places to be in.

I've never been in one. I hope I don't have to. The way I felt during med withdrawal, that's freaky enough for some people to probably go to one.

You are a very strong person my dear sister. i have known you for years, most of them deeply depressed, yet you kept caring for your mum. Remarkable really, many people would have gone to hospital just suffering your levels of depression, let alone having the responsibility looking after someone else on top of that.

God bless you for having a loving heart. That is why you are so strong even when you are weak.

Peace.

Thank you. The thing is, I was surrounded by people, in a way. That was the only deterrent. Not a lot of people, but my dad was around, my mom was around, my mom's hospice caretaker was around, etc. If no one was around, I would have been very scared for myself. That is the scariest thing of all, to think about.
