• 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've been feeling down lately, for three reasons.

1.) A friend of mine had a heart attack and is in the hospital. He is in a coma. The doctors have said the prognosis is "grim." I've been praying a lot about the situation but I can't help but be upset that I might not see him again. I could never determine for sure if he is saved or not.

2.) I miss my girlfriend. She is gone forever. The Lord wanted the relationship to end, but I still can't help but miss her terribly. I'm still in shock that she's no longer in my life. Sometimes I go a few days without thinking about it, but then it hits again.

3.) School is stressful. It should be easy - I've always gotten excellent grades. But it isn't. I suspect that a combination of #2 and more recently #1 that is the cause of this. I feel like I have no control over my study habits. I could sit down and read the same page 50 friggin times and I absorb NOTHING. I failed two math tests which should be easy, but I completely choked.

Please offer any thoughtful advice and pray for the situation. I know there is a better day coming, but I need help getting through the hard times. Right now my existence feels so meaningless that I'd rather die and go to heaven.

The only cure for a lost ex-gf is a new-gf, i encourage you to move on with your life as quickly as possible, it's absolutely pointless to worry about it, everyone has free will, and every love relationship has to go both ways, and it takes 2 to feel that way, therefore you should never go into a relationship expecting it to work out just because it concerns you. You always have to be prepared to the fact that a girl could pack her bags at any time.
