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 think the issue of knowing when one should risk relationship is a worthy
topic of discussion. It's something to think about.

O My Soul lyrics
Rivers and stones and the trees of the field, they sing in the night
And a thousand tongues lay deep in your lungs to raise to the sky
Don't lie to yourself, o my soul—love your God.
Deep in your heart you feather and tar your folly and fear:
Expose them for the fools they are, and the world comes clear.
Don't lie to yourself, o my soul—love your God.
Your worries will never love you
They'll leave you all alone
But your God will not forsake you
O my soul.

As humans, we learn to forgive but not forget. I was abused as a child. Im only 19 now. It is hard to forgive my mom. She was my adoptive mom, so nothing sounds good about my situation. I was just recently diagnosed with PTSD, a very real and upsetting diagnosis. It wasnt until I gave my life to God that I learned the steps to forgiveness and healing. My mom and family deny the problem, but its not about them. This is my life and I want God to use me. At times I have memories, and that is when I pray. Out of all the bad I experienced, good has come about. I am also learning that it is not my job to judge my abuser, but Gods job. He will execute justice for those who need it. Pretty much, Im learning to let go and let God.

Welcome.
Abuse can really jar our lives and affect us in so many ways. So important to learn the things we were not taught so we can heal and overcome. Yes, forgiveness and healing is import and we so need a safe place to go to talk about things with people who understand. There are so many emotions that come up for us at all stages of the healing process and even once we forgive we have memories and issues to deal with but it does get better as we chose healthy ways to live and think. We need to value ourselves and know that God loves us despite this fallen world that can be so horrible and hurtful. Do take care.

Something I've been thinking about as I try to build healthy relationships
was described rather well in a song I heard tonight. I thought I'd share it.

I may say that I was abused too,in a lighter way but was abuse.
As the children of the Lord,we may say a prayer which can help us a lot :
IN THE NAME OF JESUS I CUT ALL UNGODLY SOUL TIES BETWEEN ME AND ... person's name ...
I pray that the Lord bring emotional and soul healing to everyone which read these words.
May the Lord Almighty bless you and send comfort to you!
