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.

itsgood said:I guess I see things differently at different times - I know that I am a Christian and going to heaven, so things couldn't be better for eternity. But it's hard to keep your focus on that. I tend to focus on the things I don't have in this life instead
Hello itsgood , yes we all need to focus , our minds do tend to get "swayed" by impulses .......... cast down your negativity and focus on the good ....... it is hard , but it can be done , practice and it will become a good habit!
Do not focus on what you don't have ........... focus on what you can achieve inwardly this day this hour this minute.
You don't have to put up with heavyness , ''Love don't lie , it's stronger than steel ''
