• 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.

Hello DT! Math teachers are gifts. They teach not just a skill, but a way to organize thoughts and attack a problem from a logical point of view. They change the way we think.

I am sure you are a great math teacher. :thumbsup:

Blessings to you this morning! Also, I am repping all those who post here. :)

I heard too many negative things when I was little. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized that most of them were lies. I had to stop the "tapes" which were playing in my mind, and choose to put something else there instead.

It helped to realize that God loves me. I began listing places in Scripture where He talks about us. There are so many--and in all of them He expresses His love for us.

The second list I made was affirmations about myself. For example, I love to draw and paint, and I am good at sculpting.


I realize that it is difficult to talk about yourself. So I am going to change the rules for getting blessings here.

Say something good about yourself OR

Say something the Bible says about God's love for you, or how He sees you, or His promises to you.


Be blessed, my dear friends!
