I'm so lonely. I feel like such a baby... I feel so weak somehow. Maybe I should feel this way. I keep wanting to just reach out to someone...to ask for help...but I always hold back. I don't want to be alone anymore. I would like someone by my side....but, it seems like I'm going to be alone...for a long long long time... Sometimes...I just feel like going crazy...then others times, I have to tell myself to be good...to follow my "conscious." I don't want to feel alone anymore...I want my confidence back...or what little I had. This sounds so pathetic I know...but, I'm finally breaking down I guess...finally submitting myself to God...asking for His help...realizing that I'm His child and it's OK to feel small...or weak.

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.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yes I do. I have some favorite TV shows that I enjoy.
I keep waiting for the Truth of my situation to surface. I keep wanting to wake up and feel better. I keep wanting for things to be like the old times...that's not happening though...things are turning out a lot different then I initially expected. Feelings are changing, etc. I guess I'll just have to live with it...even though I don't want to... Perhaps things will be a lot different if I give it a few months. If things aren't back to a good sense of normal in a few months, then I'm going to be really depressed.
Thanks for everyone's support!

Life's just like that.....
Hi RSteel!
I feel with you. It's not easy to feel isolated and alone. I am surrounded by people all the time, and Ifeel that way. I feel like no one wants to hear what I have to say, or they aren't going to understand. Like I'm a burden, but then I don't feel strong enough to 'go it on my own'. I've said this many times, and I'm going to say it again...we are not weak. think about it.....we not only think the thoughts we think (tht are pretty heavy sometimes), we feel what we feel (that's debilitating at times), and fight for our focus....we also deal with everyday things like the "normal" people do. If one little thing goes wrong, or things fall apart for them temporarily they fall apart...we do it everyday. We fight for everything we have. Every positive thought. No matter how bad we want to stop or give in, we don't do it. Day in and day out. That's strength my friend. You are a strong person.
I hope this doesn't sound too harsh..it's not meant to be...it's meant in love Okay? God does not intend for us to feel alone. He doesn't want us to suffer or be in pain. There is joy in being you...but you need to find it. He loves you with all His heart, and wants you to do the same. We are here for you. Trust tht He will take you where you need to go to find the one you're looking for....but you've got to meet Him halfway. Find something positive about your life and focus there. Get out and walk, get some exercise...break a sweat. He'll bring that person to you, but the chances of them showing up at your door is pretty slim.
You don't have to 'live' with it....work on feeling worthy and hopeful. No one lives your life for you. You can have what you want, you can turn things around, you can be that person you've always wanted to be. Really!

Thanks Kitti! Amd you are so right...strength is getting up everyday and facing your day and your feelings, thoughts, and attitudes. I've been working hard today at things like 'mindfulness' (just being aware of everything around me w/o judgement) and focusing on the Word. And, you're right...even though I may feel alone and isolated, that's not the point. I realize now that things will get better with time. This time right now is difficult for me, I know. But I'll make it through, and I know things will get better in time. Strength is one thing...perseverance is another...but then again...I think they're one and the same. I keep working on these feelings, emotions, etc. I'm sure all this will pass soon. Will post more lata.
I found this verse today and it inspired me..."and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Hebrews 12
