• 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.

This is something I wrote as a song but it can stand alone as well. It is sad at first because it begins with where I was when I hit bottom regarding self-harm. However, the second half is about having a resolve to get better and finding that God is truly the place "to end and begin". This Post isn't meant to last long just to encourage others to keep going because there is always hope with God.

THE JOURNEY

I see the results but I don't remember.
I stand alone in this cold dark place;
where there is a hurt so deep it has no name.

I have not tears nor ever have.
And the friend for all my life no longer helps,
but makes me feel all the worse.

My mind rages on. My insides tremble.
And my heart is loaded with guilt.

I see the results but I don't remember.
I stand alone in this cold dark place.

[WITH FEELING!]

But, I'll never give up!
I will never stop.

I've found a place to end and begin (God):
To laugh and cry, to be still and even hurt;
To catch a glimpse of life and find it possible.

The devil may try to kill me (and he did).
And, the demons may want to stay.

But, I'll never give up!
I will never stop.

I've found a place to end and begin (God):
I can play and sing. Hold time in my hand.
People touch my heart and I'm amazed.
I reach out to them and find they truly care.

I'll never give up!
I will never stop.

I will always remember to hope and believe.

HOPE IS LIKE THE SUN, WHICH, AS WE JOURNEY TOWARD IT, CASTS THE SHADOW OF OUR BURDEN(S) BEHIND US.
--Samuel Smiles

Thank you for the kind words. I entered this thread as encouragement. Last year at this time things were so bad I was ready to die. But the Lord God intervened and provided people and a place to save me from myself. The devil really did try to kill me on the way there. I had driven that same route for six years to see my sick father without a problem. But that time, I fell asleep at the wheel going 65mph and rolled the truck four times missing a river by 24 feet. When I woke up, I was upside down and the only part of the truck that was not caved in completely was a small bubble around me. GOD KEPT ME ALIVE! The place I went to for treatment was not christian, yet all of the staff said this, "God wants you to live. He kept you alive. So, you could get better because He has a plan for your life." Imagine that coming from people who don't even care about God!
The Lord did save my life and not from only an accident. But from my self-abuse and I remember how I felt last year at this time - which is the beginning of this song. The last half is so true. God is the place to end and begin. And there is always hope, and that is something to remember and believe.
