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 what this pain wracked body and mind looks forward to every day. A glorified body in the twinkle of an eye.
The artist's brush I used most of my life was my body and here is a demo of the type of movement I used to express myself as Choreographed and danced by Maria Edner and Sofia Birging.
Today I picked this dance to Bittersweet Symphony as it reminds me of all the posts I read here about all of us and our struggles together: Life is bitter sweet!

@Jeshu you have so many writings and are so well versed at it too. Do you place these in a notebook? What kind do yo have?

Indeed. There's a cartoon I used to watch as a kid which my fursona is based off of. It has a moral of never underestimating the power of a kind act. Sometimes the most mundane acts of kindness can make a day so much more bearable. Jesus spoke of getting reward in Heaven for giving someone a cup of cold water because he knew that even the smallest acts of kindness can really help and move God.
A poem I wrote about depression and abuse. Not uplifting but writing it helped me feel better so I hope its okay to share.:
Another day of being alive
Another day I wish I could die
I sit here lifeless
Consumed with fear
I sit here puzzled
At God’s plan for me
I question everything
Why did it happen?
What happened?
Am I just crazy?
This feels like a nightmare
Or a horror movie
Something’s gone astray
Gone very wrong
The chemical imbalance in my brain
I want it gone
I want to smile
Feel joy
Be happy
But I’m stuck here
In utter misery
I made that back in Fall because I felt Winter depression hitting again. I'm wrapped up in a blanket as a sign of wanting comfort during a cold, depressing season. The bag of chips is basically my eating habits to feel better. The book is more or less something to keep me entertained when I'm off the computer.
I have another series of drawings that represent the story of my life but I can't post it here anymore because of the poorly-censored language. I'm planning on drawing it again and posting it here when I get the time.
