• 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'm so sorry you are going through such a difficult time. It is great that you have reached out for help. They say that God doesn't give us any more than we can handle. Please don't give up. Better times are ahead. I have experienced feeling downtrodden and unwanted and still do sometimes. My bf just broke it off with me. I have decided to go on and do my best. You are a good person and deserve good. It is out there for you. Jesus is on your side and at your side. I talk to him and he shows me his love. You can do this too. I am praying for you.

I'm sorry it's so hard at the moment, sweetie. Being rejected is always hard, but it just means that those relationships weren't the right ones for you, and there will be a better one in store. Just hang in there.
If you are feeling as depressed as you sound, it would be a good idea to see your doctor, sweetie, depression is an illness, not just a feeling, and medication or therapy can help you to climb out of the pit and feel more able to deal with life.
If you need someone to talk to, please PM me... I'm in the UK as well, so we can talk without time difference being a problem!

Thinking of you, sweetie, and hoping things improve very soon.

I'm sure you will begin to feel better. I'm going through a really tough time right now regarding guilt over my past actions. I just can't believe what I've done in my life, but you have to move on. One thing that helps me is trying to serve God in whatever way I can and being a pre-tribulation Rapture person, that gives me hope to persevere too. It's a tough world to live in but Christians aren't supposed to be in love with this world. I hope you feel better soon, I will pray for you.

Me too, my life has become a very difficult roller coaster that never seems to get easier. Just in the past two years I've been dumped and felt heartbroken ever since, been looking for success, trying to meet a caring girl who will want to be my friend and not turn away from me or play games with me, and have been trying to figure out how to adjust to life as I become an adult. I offer so much to people, I'm nice and caring towards my family and friends, so I don't know why I deserve to go through so much at once.

So many things have unfolded for me in a rough way, as well, so I can imagine what you are going through. Any of those things not working out as I mentioned can trigger me to feel depressed, so I'm fighting it. And at the same time I'm searching for answers. I went to church a few times to try to help myself feel better, and in doing so, ended up feeling worse. There was this one time that I went and it triggered my depression that I've been fighting off for some time now.

I'm thankful for having the support I have through my struggles, but even with these people around me, things shouldn't have to be this tough. Every step I take, I have something repelling me back, so each step is much harder. Maybe I haven't found the right church, so I'll pray about that too. I'm just concerned because I can't figure out if the struggles will ever end or not.

I hope everyone above is feeling better as well. Life is tough, especially the one I'm living, as it never seems to get easier. If you want I can pray for you as well.

Dear for Christ

So sorry your hurting, at the moment your grieving the loss and the pain of that rejection is hitting you hard. It's ok to cry, it's ok to feel loss and it's ok to feel pain, just dont let it take hold. We were given emotion, and Jesus himself felt pain and emotion.

Those relationships were not for you and perhaps God was guiding you out of a situation that would bring your years of pain reather than a season of pain.


I would like you to think about giving all this to Jesus, just empty your heart to him and actually ask jesus to help you cope. He said cast all your cares on him and he will take the load and give you rest.

Also in jerimiah 29 it says that God does not have thoughts of evil for you, he has thoughts of peace for you, if you keep your mind stayed on him. See the key here? to keep you mind on God and things of God and to control what happens in the mind first. We all know that we can let our minds pull us into the pits of despair. Dont allow this to control you, surrender to the promises of God for you and your life and take instruction from Him and allow Him to do the work in your life.


Take care now and focus on Scriptures and perhaps reaching out and helping another in yoru community.

James

Just stay as strong as you can. Be careful when you are heartbroken, it makes you weak in ways. If yours is as bad as mine, finding as much support as possible is the best thing you can do. I ask God to either heal me from this sickness or to provide me with someone who can help me get over it and so far I have some temporary solutions (Family and friends), but I'm still seeking a long-term solution.

And I understand something else, too. When you meet someone and you think they are special and they break your heart, it is one of the hardest things to experience. I once asked a girl I really liked out and she not only said no, but she embarassed me in front of a bunch of people. And on top of that, she never apologized to me about her antics. So I know about pain. The pain about that girl still weakens me, and I'm trying to forget about it. It's hard to black it out until I meet someone else who will help fill that void.

I've been following the advice of things to do when heartbroken by staying very busy and meeting people, etc. Good luck to you as well, I hope God will help you to meet someone special and I'm hoping for me too. I also hope that you knowing that you aren't the only one who is going through heartbreak will help you to realize that it's normal and we have to accept these things, even as bad as they seem. I don't justify this pain either, but somehow I have to.

I know what it is like to feel alone. All I know is that I would be lost without Jesus. Sometimes when I feel alone I take comfort in knowing that this is an opportunity to spend my days as much as possible in constant prayer. I pray that He will comfort you right now and restore your heart with Him.

I heard a quote once that has stuck with me for many years. I forgot who said it, and I'm not sure if I'm remembering it word for word correctly, but for some reason it's what comes to my mind and heart right now as I have read your words:

"When someone's heart is aching or broken from a relationship, it's simply not possible to fix it by yourself; the only way to repair a broken heart is to take it to the manufacturer."

God bless you and I will be sure to keep you in my prayers,
P.I.P (Prayer In Progress)
