• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

The littlest thing about this morning, around 10:30. My husband was here. We were talking, he said he was going to go back to work because he didn't want to argue. I didn't think we were arguing. I said that to him, he said we always argue and left to go back to work. We don't argue much. I don't get it.

It was nap time. I take one with my boys because my trileptal makes me very tired.

So went to nap, was talking to God, at first up was upset and down, as I talked it turned to anger against my husband, then it turned to urges to self harm.

So that makes other things come into my thoughts. I smoke. He quit about 7 years back. He said last night I need to cut down how much I smoke, easier said than done. So decided I will. I quit about two back or so, threw me into a massive depression with anger, anxiety and really bad urges to self harm.

Decided well no matter what it does to my in that sense, I will just have to deal. Tired of feeling guilty when he has to buy them. Tired of feeling like he holds it against me in some way.

I can't use the patch, gum or even the electronic cig because something in those does not mix with my meds, so cold turkey it has to be. Guess I have to suck it, rely on God and DBT skills(which I just started last week, so very new) and ride it all out.

Now we are up and I am very down about him saying we argue all the time. I am hurt, I am anxious and feel like I am such a burden and to not be such a burden I have to quit.

Just a lot of mixed feeling going on about everything.

that's pretty harsh.
Whenever I feel that way, I try my best to reflect on what I am about to say or type. "Is it better to say anything? If I don't say anything, can I do something positive to forget about my harsh thoughts?" It doesn't work always, I guarantee you, but at least it helps you to see how bad we are.
