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.

It seems my whole life has been mostly dealing with bullies of one form or another but when, like my neighbor, who calls himself a christian harasses me and my family even committing acts of vandalism I find myself falling down on my face, not in prayer but from my own sin.
We are commanded to love everyone even our enemies and I have to and want to learn the lesson because I am worn out by this trial and I don't think God is going to cut me any slack...ppl are brutal and mean and in general just plain horrible but we all sin and He died for all of us. I am convinced God wants us to forgive all these ppl but I know that I can only accomplish this with divine intervention.
I hear you about the fatigue. That has got to be the most frustrating part of what we deal with. The energy that has to be expended to do thing that most ppl never give a second thought in inconceivable. I just replace an old plug in the kitchen to make is GFI compliant for safety and it wiped me out. Makes me wonder how much longer I will be able to work.
Hang in there colleen and don't let it get you down...easier said than done.
Hello fellow pain sufferers,
I have a marble sized lump to the right of my spine about 3 inches over. My docter said it was called a Copeland node or lump. I have bad hip and leg pain from the sciatica nerve being pinched from compressed lower discs. The nod or lump is painful also and when rubbed or pushed causes burning pain down my right side from the hip down. I was wondering if anyone has had or dealt with this? I asked my doc why they call it Copeland and he said that's the guy who discovered it. When I finish I'm going to Google it.
Just for laughs to cheer everone up:
An old man, Jesus and Moses were golfing. Moses hits his tee shot and it lands in the pond. He parts the water, hits off the bottom and gets a birdie. Jesus hits His tee shot towards the same pond but it lands on a lily pad. Jesus walks on the water and hits his 2nd shot into the hole for birdie also. The old man swings wildly topping the ball and dribbles the ball just to the edge of the pond. A frog hops over and eats the ball. An eagle swoops down grabs the frog and begins to fly away. A bolt of lightning strikes and the startled eagle drops the frog which lands on the green popping the ball from it's mouth which rolls into the cup for eagle.
The old man jumps up and down hollering, " another hole in one."
Moses looks at Jesus and says, " I hate playing with your Dad."
I hope everyone is better tomarrow than today.
With the love of Christ in my heart,
Todd Grace
Thanks I have. I also find If I sleep on a firm mattress I'll wake up in tremendous pain. Read my bed thread. If I wake in pain I'll walk around the house or in my yard for 15 minutes just to get the motion back. Movement seems to lubricate and ease pain.
I hope you are able to manage your pain as well.

All I've got to say today is, boy, some people don't get it. This can be one of the hardest things about chronic illness.
Especially if the illness isn't 'showing' itself on the outside. Just saying'...
