• 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.

Today was horrible. Bad financial news...that i didn't know how to deal with. Plus a coworker really spoke badly of me yesterday and I spent all last night trying to figure out how to address it. Then I spent most of today holding it in and feeling miserable. Mixed w/ the financial stress I was ready to self harm. I knew I was gonna when I got home. But I really want to stop so I tried to think of another way out...to deal with it straight on instead of holding it in and lashing out at myself with all my mixed emotions. So I confronted the person who hurt me, lovingly, and tried to resolve between both of us. It felt a little better and then I didn't need to harm. I suppose that is something to celebrate. Like a new way of approaching life.
