• 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.

Hi everyone. um well im have a hard time at the mo and its giving me headaches and gray hair lol. ive been have trouble sleeping and fighting urges to do stupid stuff and doing well. And im trying to help 2 other mates aswel which is helping them and at the same time its a bit meh. so if anybody could just check up on me from time to time i would really aprecate it. (yes i know i cant spell lol).

Ive been going though Depression for a year and a half and is going really hard at times. Mostly when it comes up to 2 days in the year. and some days i just find it hard to get out of bed knowing im going to hear someone make fun of me about how i look or dress, even though ive heard that stuff since i started school at the age of 5 years old and it still gets to me. I also have random outbursts of crying which really sucks when im out at a public outing. Well i think that well do for now anyway.

Baz.

Praying for you, Baz.
Helping others when you are down yourself is a strain.. make sure you are taking time for yourself, to do something you enjoy, spend time with God, renew your own resources..
Are you on medication? The random crying must make things hard... perhaps you need to see your physician.
Remember, you are loved and very precious.. and you can get through this hard time. :hug:

Nice to meet you Baz ^_^

I noticed that states you are an agnostic. I won't debate or anything, but I will tell you this. You are broken and hurt, which is why you cry and feel depressed as you do. Meds or counselling will only deal with few problems, but the true path to healing lies at the feet of Jesus.

I am sure the last thing you want to hear is be preached, but it truly is. I been saved for a year and 8 months and I let go of great deal of emotional baggage that I been carrying since I was 6 years old. I am not the man I was before I was saved.

Ever wished you had that wonderful relationship with a father. Who could show you the true potiential you have, as well help walk you thru your problems and train you to become stronger. All this and so much more is offered to you. Your life experiences will cause you to doubt such a thing can happen, but trust me it can. All it takes is a musterd seed of faith.

Matthew 13:31-32

31 Here is another illustration Jesus used: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed planted in a field. 32 It is the smallest of all seeds, but it becomes the largest of garden plants; it grows into a tree, and birds come and make nests in its branches.”

Your right the last thing i need is to be preached at, so why would you when you dont know anything about me? I was baptised in 2003 and i was fine for 3 years then i had heaps of friends and family die around me. At the moment im really not too good as it is coming up to my nana's death anniversary which is on this Saturday. And i get preached at by my "Bible Basher" father. So yeah its not a great thing right now.

hey weirdo...don't forget to check in here...but we'll certainly check on you...21 and gray hair...gosh, hope it's not catching, I'll be 21 in a few months.

I'm kinda in the same boat as you...fighting urges to do stupid stuff...lol...fun fight that is.

And man...it's not easy to get over people busting on ya all the time...you either get a hardened heart or you finally manage to let go and have jesus take over...the first is easy, the second not so easy. Eventually, you just gotta let it roll off of you...why does it bug you? Don't let it bug you, they are insecure and need to bust on someone else's chops to make themselves feel alright about their own pathetic lives. Stick with it...

Hello, Baz, and I'm so sorry for all you're going through. Please take care of yourself, and if you need to talk, you may PM me if you wish.

I've been suffering from depression off and on for about five years now, since being laid off from my career of 15 years. There was lots more going on too, but that was a major trigger. I finally went on some meds and its helped me tremendously. It also helps to have people to talk with about all that's going on, without having to be strong, or supportive back.

Best of luck to you! :)
