• 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 started to give my testimony at least 5 times now,but I can't because it would take a book.To know where I've been to where I am today is quite remarkable! I've been reading some of the post's and would be impossible to remark on them all.The one thing I can say though,is,have faith in God!God will pull you through any difficulty you may be going through!A lot of what I've been reading in the coments is I feel bad, but! 1Cor.10:12 say's God won't give you any more then you can handle.In 2cor.2:7 Paul tells us not to grieve too much!in Ecc.3:1-8 Solomon tell's there is a time and season for all thing's.Whether you are in or out of season we have to glorify the Lord!I've lost 2 children 27 yrs.apart and both parents before I was 50.I didn't even want to include that,but,I also didn't want anyone to think I was somekind of blowhard who didn't have a clue!One thing I do know is, it's kind of tough to get through this life with-out losing someone you love.To the replies who do the comparisions[yea,but I lost]The one thing I never lost was my compassion.In fact I think, if anything I gained some!We need to be thoughtful of those who have lost.If we can't just go in unabated and just reply with a compassionate I feel for you with-out the yea but I's, may-be we shouldn't go in.I don't care if you lose a cat if you're in pain I'm hurting also!I don't care if it's Mother,Father,brother,sister,son,or,daughter or a good friend,I'm not going to say I feel bad,but,or,I know how you feel,cause I don't!You're the one in pain at the time,not me! When Lazarus was in the tomb even the Son of God was moved to tears,knowing the whole time he was going to raise him from the dead,Who He Himself,was going to be crucified with-in a coulple of weeks.Just some food for thought.:preach:
