• 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.

Taylor, I'm glad you're spoken to your pastor and let your counsellor know about this - they're always the best people to let know :hug:. Please keep talking to them about this too! I've also just done a quick search for a hotline for you to call and the only one I can find is a Distress and Suicide Line:1-800-232-7288, but it looks ok. It says it's for Northern Alberta, but my knowledge of Geography isn't great and I don't know what part of Canada you're in, but I think it's worth a try calling them Taylor.

While I don't have all the answers, I'm here if you want to talk :hug:. I'm praying for you too Taylor - you can beat this urge!

God Bless,
teaspoon

Taylor: First you need to throw out your fear. Remember that "Love tosses out fear because fear has torment". What a horrible thing to live in torment. Been there myself and tend re-visit from time to time. It's no fun. You are doing the right things ie., talking to your Pastor and Counselor. How about praying and then trusting God to deal with the situation. Can you trust God? He loves more than anything in the whole world, beyond imagination. Please, don't misplace or miss completely such love. Let Him help you also. Fear will tell you that there is no Hope, You're Worthless, and without Strength. These are lies from satan himself. Fall into the Love of God that will drive him away. You might make the choice to keep yourself safe in His Hands. mamalonglegs
