• 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.

You know, I dread weeks starting... I don't know why. And then once I get into the week I'm okay. Usually. But the dreading makes the weekends bad, and I've just gotten back into SI'ing. :(

Ugh. And I feel fat and uncomfortable in my body. :sigh:
Meh... have to stop thinking in such ways my lady friends. Don't look at the shell that your soul is incased in, but look at the beauty of soul within. For it means far more and what we accually are than any walking pile of dust.

If there is something that makes you feel ugly, change the behavior. Year ago I looked in the mirror and saw a sad man, last week for the first time I saw a child of god. I don't think how fat I am, I think how much I want to give myself to others to help. Soul > body

Hard to do when in church your surrounded by such jerks.

Honestly theres been shootings on the streets near me and all they can do is hide behind their church doors and argue over if women are "worthy" to teach in church...no wonder this folder is fulll of depressed women, I hate this

If you are not finding god in that church, need to find another church that does has his presence. I don't know the full weight of your situation, but how difficult it may be you need a better place to grow spiritually.

IMO Don't worry about what others think about it either. Your relationship with god is more important.

I will pray for you sister.

Hey everybody,

Hope you are all doing well.

On my third day of taking Espiride, its supposed to start working after two days. Was still feeling anxious today but not depressed although my depression comes and goes so its hard to tell if it has fixed that or not.

Night is a bad time... :hug: I'm sorry that you had to go through that type of deal too. Mood crashes are awful. :sick:

WorkinProgress - words of wisdom, but so hard to follow. I know that soul/personality are both more important than looks, but I don't like either of those either. So I'm kind of stuck with hating myself. At least for now. I'm trying to learn not to, but it's very slow going.

/me curls up in a corner with a cup of hot chai and her psych textbook, to study a little more before her exam.

Indeed,

For society's standards go against that mentality. I would say pray for understanding of why you do it. When god gave me the wisdom and I opened my eyes to things I was blind to then I started to heal more. Of course it takes an honousity to accept the cause of the problem and asked for strength to make the changes.

Sorry to be preachy like, just think we are capable of so much more.

I've asked Ive asked and Ive asked again and I am waiting on relief.....any minute now just gonna hold on and not thinking about doing it, beause im not going to do it today i said i wouldnt and im not !
just waiting for the need to do it to wear off
Ok sis,

You need help, if your depression is leading to self pain then your problem is more serious than it seems. Please, say no to this evil temptation and get help. Humble yourself and tell family or a good friend.
