• 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 really wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Like most other people on this anxiety forum, I can't make simple phone calls without feeling anxious, and not to mention they always end awkwardly and abruptly (which is BAD because I work at a LAW FIRM and part of my job is to answer phones!). I can't go anywhere I can't trace out in my mind, and without a partner. But in a strange way, I do believe it's brought me closer to God. I spend more time in his word and I am learning to trust him more everyday. So to my spirit, it has been VERY beneficial.


But to my flesh....I think the headache outweighs the benefit.

If you trust him and obey him as best you can without trying to live upto the christian church expectations then you have no need to be anxious in saying that though i do get anxious at times but it's usually when im not worshiping HIM as much...

Yep I’m really developing in my outlook on anxiety and depression.. it’s been like a journey of discovery through a dark tunnel. I knew that God was there, I just couldn’t see him. And sometimes I actually wondered if he was really there.. but as I get closer to the light, I’m really getting a sense that he is here with me and holding my hand.. I have matured as a person and come to recognise the anxiety triggers.. I do understand about anxiety now and how it all works and how to reduce it by 60% that I have truly mastered.. but I feel u cant really recover fully without God at the centre, and now I do feel God is closer to the centre of my life now than he has ever been..
Actually he never moved, I did, I move away from him, he never moves away from me, I do now feel full of the Holy Spirit and I am more in touch with him, well most the time anyway. To get to this place, I had to engage with God, Joining second life made a massive difference because I started mixing with Christians from eternal creations.. and we Christians really need each other to grow.. wow . what a difference that made.. so I am feeling much better now and I just keep working towards growing in the lord at every opportunity.
