Nope! But I have today off, so hopefully I can later.

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 feel incredibly depressed. It has been getting gradually worse again this past week and I hurt so much I just want to die. I can't handle life anymore. It's too hard. I need help.
Frenzy, I agree, counselors can be very helpful. More than you think.((((((Frenzy))))))
Do you have a counselor? I think you should call him/her as soon as you can. S/he'll be better equipped to help you, but if you need a little extra support, PM me.
That goes for anyone.

Wow, it's your 21 birthday today...HAPPY BIRTHDAY frenzy!!!! Are you doing anything fun to celebrate?
I hope you have success with the counselor. It is very frustrating when you don't feel like you are seeing much improvements. Sometimes there are improvements but they are small but eventually they all add up and then suddenly one day you will be shocked at how far you've come! How long have you been seeing him/her?
I am kinda bored today! Not much going on here....just stupid housework
!
Hi,
Frenzy, that sucks about your car! Did the police find it? I'm so sorry that happened to you and that now you are hurting! I know what you mean, when I get to stressed, my chest gets so heavy, it hurts to breath too...not fun! Why are you so emotionally sick? I hope you are feeling better now.
HolyOne, it sounds like you are very confused lately. You really need to sit down, get quiet and look at both relationships honestly. Look at the pros and cons of being with each guy. If things were bad with your ex, why would you want to start that up again? If your present guy is good to you, why would you want to risk losing that? Sometimes it's just the idea of thinking someone wants us, that makes us think we have feeling for them. It just some excitement. Know what I mean? Just don't make any quick, rash decisions that you might regret later. I hope things work out for the best for you!
I'm doing o.k, I guess. I've had to make some hard decisions and step down from some responsibilities I've had. I didn't really want to, but I needed a break! I'm sad about it though, because it was such a big part of my life, I feel kinda lost now, I don't know what I'm supposed to do now?! Life sucks sometimes! I get so sick of myself sometimes! I wish I could be somebody else! Someone who has self-confidence, who is brave, who is happy inside, who is smart, who isn't afraid of getting out into the world, who doesn't feel like a big ball of stress, who can lose weight, who can stick to exercising, who can be a nice person, mother & wife, who can manage their finances well....just someone other than me
! I'm tired of being me!!!!!!!! My life is wasting away and I'm doing nothing! Just sitting here in this house, day in, day out! Wasting space! I suck!

Thanks HolyOne! Yah, I think I just needed to dump some stressful situations right now. As hard as it seems to me right now, not to be doing those jobs, I believe I'm doing what God wanted me to do. I just need to step back, clear my head and see where I'm to go next. It's hard to find balance sometimes....balance between taking care of yourself and being selfish and self-centered. I just want a change in my life right now!Thanks for your advice.
As far as for you, that step down from some responsibilities might be the key for you to start balancing lots of stuff..Once you start getting life in check, you can maybe add each responsibility back one at a time, gradually over time.
Start off small, with something you want to do with yourself..like exercising, then work from there. Give it a while so it actually becomes more of a routine,rather then a chore. Then add something else you'd like to do in the mix..Its all about taking small steps, rather then clumping everything together and getting stressed out.
