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.

That's great Kath.
I'm really frustrated. Tomorrow will be 5 weeks since I last self harmed and I thought that was great too until I got thinking how most people don't even wanna hurt themselves. Today I walked to the library and bank all by myself, didn't even ask for a ride. I don't remember the last time I left the house on my own. I felt like I'd made some great accomplishment... then I got thinking how many people younger than me are driving places much further away than my library. I don't even have my license and I'm 25 years old. Everyone I went to school with passed me nearly 7 years ago and are done with college and I'm still figuring myself out.
I'm tired of being spaced out and anxious all the time. I hate being like this. I need a break. I wanna be normal.
If anyone even knows what normal is can they please tell me?

's to you all. I'm sorry I've not been around for a week. I have really missed being here for you all.I even went into work today for a couple of hours - on a Sunday as well. I hate it so much. It's getting me down already and I've only been back less than 24 hours!![]()
I know. I am already in the process of doing this. It's a pain though finding another job, especially when I have been with this company for over 3 years! Doesn't seem to count for much though.Hi Surviving![]()
