• 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 hope this is the right "Topic thread" for my situation. I have been in a cycle of repeated sinning and yesterday I got sick and tired of it and I prayed about it and confessed. Now though, I have this almost like pressure on my chest feeling. And when I try to read the bible its just bothering me. I almost feel awkward reading the bible. Could anyone explain to me whats happening

The advise given is true, and first thing to be sure of, is that you have the Lord Jesus in your heart and mind (note John 3 and especially understand John 14 and verse 6). Then one needs to be in conversation (even daily) with the Lord about peace and care to meet the challenges ---make the Lord Jesus your best Friend, beside Lord of your life. Satan ever seeks to whisper lies and deceit in our mind, and draw us away from our Creator-God. Look up always, for God cares always!

Do you think your condition same like David:
For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. -Psalms 32:3
For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah -Psalms 32:4
