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.

That is great that you have your friend you can call who works the night shift!!!!
My dogs are my true medicationI agree with Maycontainnuts - my cat has been a huge blessing to me, especially lately. She always comes to bed with me and gives me lots of lovin as I'm saying my prayers and reading my Bible and getting ready to sleep. She doesn't stay, but she "tucks me in" every night, and it's a comfort to have a warm, furry, sweet little buddy there with you when it's dark and quiet and you feel lonely and scared. I call her my "angel kitty", and I don't doubt that God has told her more than once to come and comfort me when I'm upset.
:LOVE TO GRACIE!:
I am going to my first Weight Watchers meeting tonight. This is a biggie for me. I need to lose a lot of weight, and admitting it in public is going to be a huge step for me.
It WAS to go work-out. But I left my pass at home, so unless DH gets off really early I don't think it will happen.
New goal, LOL, is to make an organized grocery list, and sort through coupons. Totally not fear-facing. The going to work out was fear-facing.
I suffer from depersonalization....pretty much the same thing....let me know if you find a way to get through it.My goal is to overcome derealisation
I have been suffering for several months now, I realised my derealisation was caused by panic attacks, and linked to unforgiveness of my dad, (I realised my mind dissociated my relationship with him, such that he did not feel like my dad). 2 days ago I walked up to him and said "I forgive you" with so much courage that could only have come from the Lord. And right now I feel i'm coming back to reality because I can feel safe with my family (especially him) and so my mind is beginning to repair the negative feelings, and my derealisation is lessening! Amazing! I might be able to advise you if you need help just pm/im me! God bless!I suffer from depersonalization....pretty much the same thing....let me know if you find a way to get through it.
It's the worst feeling ever!
Best of luck.
