• 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.

Every once in a while I get bored and post on here. I have issues with God. I can't get Christianity to work for me; I'm stuck in a Godless, purposeless place. It's not really bad, it's just really empty and pointless.

I don't think things can change. I don't believe anybody can help. Like I said, I'm only posting because I'm bored and I feel like expressing the isolation and emptiness I feel.

I know somebody is going to respond with some attempt at encouragement, but I've heard it all before. I can guarantee that I won't appreciate anything that anybody says. That is because I honestly believe no one can help me. Whatever is going on is solely a heart issue and no information or action can solve things.

It's just tough when I have no foundation in life. I don't feel that I can engage in life because life is a meaningless jumble of experience to me. I can't connect with people. I feel disconnected. I can hang out with people and have a good time, but it's just so foreign and unfulfilling to me.

Well I guess I'm done. I'm getting tired. Perhaps I'll get bored again someday...

Right now you need to invest yourself in the spiritual needs of someone or a group of people that need help.
There is some situation right in front of you today that you can bring the Kingdom of God to. Ask the Holy Spirt to enlighten the eyes of your understanding that you my know the hope of His calling and He will show you something you can do right now.
It is important that you get into action and quit feeling sorry for yourself..

This is a prayer that the apostle Paul prayed for spiritual needs. If you will pray this prayer and meditate on it several times a day it will help you get in touch with the destiny God has planed for you:

I ask God that I may receive from Him all wisdom and spiritual understanding for full insight into His will, so that my manner of life may be worthy of the Lord and entirely pleasing to Him. I pray that I may bear fruit in active goodness of every kind, and grow in the knowledge of God. May He strengthen me, in His gloroious might, with ample power to meet whatever comes with fortitude, patience, and joy. I give thanks to the Father who has made me fit to share the heritage of God's people in the realm of light.

hey cold turkey,

what you need to do, is have faith and everything will be ok!

joke hehehehheehh.... well, this is the second post you've made where I can relate completely... at least you can write things in a short and concise way :p I tend to ramble on for ages... possibly cause I think too much, but possibly cause I've had to think too much, because the people who want to do the thinking for me, and to conform to what 'they' see as reality.... I don't trust :p... I think they're just as lost..... they've just constructed a very believable yet false reality around them... and they're inviting others in...
Like someone inside "The Truman Show" dome... saying, "Come on in, this is 'real' life"...

Anyways... if you are really bored.. I know something that will use a lot of time up xD... reading my post in this area of threads called, 'Need wisdom for my struggle'..... miss out the first thing I posted... it's too much babble... but check out the last thing I posted... I kinda tried to answer some things there about where I'm at... I know we're totally different people... living in different countries... and have had different experiences... but you might be able to see why for whatever reason, the way you're feeling has similarities to where I'm at also.

Anyways, you're not praying enough!!
hehehe JOKE!!!! sorry... hope you appreciate the humour, and I'm not being insensitive... I just really dont like the bull crap I've heard over the years.

On a more serious note... Keep going mate, if you have a faith in God... I believe God shows us the steps to make... Keep going :)
do you feel encouraged? hahahahha
