• 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.

Oh and hi, Yusuph! Good to hear you're doing a bit better now after your bad year. Hope you and your congregation gets stronger in love every day. It was already strong, based on some of the things you said a couple of years ago.

I saw that name and immediately I wanted to ask you a question, just for the off chance that I might be right, even though I don't think that I am.

Did you post by the name Victorium, many years ago?

Yes, that's right Tempura, I am the one formerly know as Victorium. The ice hockey wantabe. :oldthumbsup:

It's good to see you are still around and I hope that you are in good health? God bless you Tempura.

Regards from Jeshu dear brother. He is very glad you got through, I know and is praying earnestly for you, and for your country.

Dear brother hang on to Jesus with all you got, He will certainly keep you! Jeshu thinks is going to get rough around this globe soon. The wicked are fighting to retain their unholy place and take global charge through their puppets down here. I'm so glad Jesus is victorious and has them all earmarked for destruction, but we are going to need to learn to trust Jesus to get us through in one piece.

I heard your president is ill? I pray Jesus he will heal completely, first spiritually, and then physically, to God's glory, instead of mere human philosophy as it is now.

Many blessings from Down Under.

That God bless all those who suffer down deep.

It's good that brother Jeshu is able to send us some word and I hope that he is able to come back here again, God willing.

I remember you Victorium. It's good to see "old-timers" here.

I hope you're alright Lady Bug? Please send us a line to let us know how you are? May God's spirit surround you and hold you up.
I was worried that my post wasn't received very well, so I deleted it. Basically I said that I've tried whatever I could for years, physically and spiritually, but there remains this visceral emptiness in me and I don't feel that I should be feeling this way, but I've been plagued with this feeling for as long as I can remember.

It's good that brother Jeshu is able to send us some word and I hope that he is able to come back here again, God willing.
Me too. It's nice to see his wife (?) here.

Brother! It's you, you're Vic! I thought you were dead because you were sick and very tired, and then I just didn't see you around anymore. Every now and then I checked up on the Victorium account, hoping that I'd see some new activity, but there was none. I thought you were dead but you're there! I'm so happy!

I always wanted to tell you something, and I thought I missed the opportunity. But I'll tell you now. When I had a really hard time, and I was drinking a lot and often out of my mind, you were one of those who often managed to calm me down and show me patient, Christ-like kindness. I remember it fondly. And I got to talk about wombats. I wanted to thank you, it meant so much. So thank you. I'm so glad I got to thank you Vic, and that you're still here. I always joked with Jeshu and Press On that they're my two Christian Uncles even though I've never met them, but I have three now.

God bless you brother. Hehey, Vic! It's Vic, everybody!

I'm sorry if it was because of me. If that was the case, you can say it, I won't be offended. I often have this cold "solution first" approach when people are probably looking for something else, and I might sound like I'm shutting someone down which isn't my intention.

Hi Lady Bug, yes, I'm one of the "old-timers" back when we had quite some people on here, but now unfortunately most have disappeared. I like to come on here sometimes to offer support if I'm able to.

It's terrible that you struggle so hard Lady Bug and I know what you are going through as I have also experienced that deep emptiness inside and it is horrible. I wish you could find healing from this. All I can do is pray for you and offer you support & understanding and know that you are never alone Lady Bug. Please don't be discouraged to post your feelings and share your struggles on here as you need the support to get you through this and we all need kindness & love in our lives. Life is a hard struggle and we need to carry each others burdens. I find that praying daily has lifted me up and strengthened me and also Bible reading has strengthen my faith. God be with you Lady Bug and may he lift your heart & spirits up so that his joy fills every area of your life.

Victor. :pray:

Hi there Tempura,

I did come very close to dying and it was a terrible struggle, my health still isn't good, though I'm much better than I was before and I'm always hoping & praying for a full recovery. I closed my CF account as I was so overwhelmed and just couldn't cope anymore. My spirit & mind are stronger now and I'm building myself up in Christ, through prayer and Bible study, as he is our only rock & hope we have in life. Staying strong in Christ is the key to surviving life in this world!

I am so happy that I was able to help you Tempura and give you support through your hard time. I know what it is like to lose your mind and that is a terrible struggle to go through alone so I'm so glad that I was able to be there for you. I remember the talks about wombats. You are a very intelligent man Tempura with a good heart and I can only hope that your life is now rich with blessings from God.

Thank you for your kind words Tempura, you made my day. Have a blessed day my friend.

Victor.

Ok I'll admit it was you lol, but I was concerned at the time that my negative post was too much of a downer.

Thank you Victor; it's good to see people on here who understand and care. I haven't been in this thread for a very long time and had been wondering if it was still inhabited. :)

That's the spirit sister! Don't mind me, I'm like that sometimes. Keep posting what you want, you don't have to think twice. Would be a shame if someone, especially in these recovery forums, felt like they shouldn't say what they want to say.

I miss Jeshu as would post encouraging things

Sister, have you seen Jeshu's thread about comforting the suffering? Biblical and other support for those Hurting badly!

It's quite long, you can still see a lot of what he typed, and some of them might be about what you're feeling. Of course it's not the same, but I just wanted to remind you. Also I'm sure he's praying for you and everyone here daily. The rest of us are praying too. God bless you sister, Christ has won and you are dear to Him.
