I'm physically and emotionally drained, I've already died inside its like I'm just carrying around dead weight
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 glad your mind feels clearer today. Just take one step at a time, sweetie.
Have a suggestion for you but only if you have time and if you want to. Write out all your issues (or print off a couple of posts you've done) and give it to the counsellor to read (or read it out to her). I know counselling session are costly, so if you have difficulty finding the right words or don't know where to start this may help make the most of your first session![]()
