• 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.

my ex also had ptsd. he had tours in iraq and afghanistan. what worked for him is reading the Bible, prayers and there's always music when he goes to sleep. it doesn't always work all the time but at least it helped somehow. prayers for you. i hope sleep will find you.

I thank you for your prayers, gennypearl. I appreciate it. Normally, I use white noise to sleep, but I was just too agitated last night for that to work. I didn't even try to sleep until I was sure I was too tired to dream. The Lord sat with me; so, it wasn't so bad.

To the storm raging in your head I say, Peace be Still, and to you personally, be healed in the name of Jesus, that the Father might be Glorified in the Son.

Hi JIMINZ, I appreciate your intercession on my behalf. For some troubles the Lord takes them away, and for some He does something else. Perhaps I will be "that which is not" (1Cor 1:28).

Sorry you had to go through both war and cancer. I can't imagine it ever being easy, but I believe it does take a great character to handle and overcome. Hopefully you remember what' you've been through for the better, also that God and us are with you as well.

Thanks for the encouraging words. For a long time I was angry at God, and I said some things to Him that I regret. I am no great character; indeed, I am the least of you all. Right now, I am just happy that He is with me. That will be enough. He is my enough.
