• 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.

:swoon: do you wake up sometimes and your body kind of aches and you just want to stay in bed all day? What's up with that? I been feeling kinda useless lately and kinda feel like crying but, can't, Thankfully. I really don't know what my purpose in life is and wish I knew how to find it.... I hate being sad for no reason. It's been months since I've felt like this. My doc just recently lowered my dosage recently... that it? I don't quite feel bad enough to go to the doc but, I don't feel great. My mood sometimes changes and I feel better in an hour, sometimes days, sometimes weeks. well I really don't know the reason for this post... just hoping someone to come along and pick me up I guess:o

don't know what to say to try and pick you up because I am feeling crappy too. But if you see a possible connection between the lowered dosage of meds and the change in your symptoms, then it's worth bringing to the attention of your doctor, maybe the dosage needs to be adjusted again. Or it could be totally unrelated.

I believe it is important to know what our purpose is in life and to have goals, it can be discouraging when we are lacking desire or passion for anything, that nothing really stands out to us. This is my problem, and I pray about it.
In the meantime, I would say to try and find something that you enjoy, even if it is something you like doing for a short time and you can't stick to it for very long (that's me) I hope the small short term things would lead to more of a longer term, meaningful adventure.

And I do believe if there is something that we can do for someone else, it does take the focus off ourselves. I know it can take effort, but it does lift us up when we give rather than to receive. To see someone elses face brighten up because of something we have said or done for them is rewarding, it is a blessing to both sides.

I hope you feel brighter soon, I am hoping the same thing for myself. I am struggling too.

ya you said it:hug:. I feel good too when I can help others. The goal thing ya that is a downer for me too---:| . Nothing seems to excite me. I just kinda aint interested in stuff:scratch: . Food seems to be my only outlet lately. Most women spend thier money on clothes and normal stuff. To me it's like a grocery store is my "department store".
