• 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.

Depressed...not sad; what I'm feeling is more physical than that. I'm frustrated that most people seem to be depressed due to some issue or another, and there's no one who understands what it's like to be depressed for no reason at all. I'm also worried that I'll never get better, and that I'm wasting my time going to the doctor about this tomorrow.

ditto. ...pretty much same thing i'm feeling. There's nothing wrong in my life and yet i'm depressed. The worst part is that I know that, but i still feel all the effects mentally and physically and it's completely frustrating. I've had a lot of big decisions lately (maybe that's the trigger), but nothing bad has happened. Sometimes I feel guilty talking about it because I have a pretty good life and yet I feel this way. If I know that, I don't understand why I can't just snap out of it. Why do I need to see a counselor or doctor? Shouldn't just trusting in the Lord and taking it all to Him be enough?

I'm just sick and tired of it. I want to feel normal again.

Just apply common sense sister.

If a car is losing torc or horse power, but nothing obviously wrong with it. Does that mean there is nothing wrong with the car?

What I am trying to explain to you. Problem or trigger is not obviously there, might be something deeper. Instead of getting frustrated, keep looking and troubleshooting to find what is killing your engine.

Also learn to forgive yourself and be patient. If you keep beating on the car while you waiting to solve the problem, then all your doing damaging the interior ontop of what the real damage is.

terrible. anxious, fidgety, down. I'm at work among people who have no idea what i'm going through right now, and it's getting difficult to keep it together. any prayers would be appreciated.

...and yet, I will trust in the Lord.
I will add you to my morning prayer brother. Hang in there.

Make sure you talk with a counsellor and/or Paster to try figure this out. Don't try tackle this alone. Also don't let pride stop you from asking and accepting help.

EDIT just read your other post. Glad to hear you are seeking help. Answers will come bro!

Well I am feeling better than I was all weekend long.. Altho a little axious over getting my drivers license renewed they needed me to have my eye Dr. fill out a form to verify that my vision is good.. I am sure they'll renew cuz they took an updated photo and why do that if they felt I wasnt fit to drive.. So I have to go back to the DMV to drop off the form.. Then the weekend is coming this weekend and my birthday is Monday so I hope DH is off to spend it with me.. We go to his mom's on Sunday for a bday BBQ and I dont want to go.. I'd much rather stay home and swim to hang out and all that.. So we'll see how the week progresses and into the weekend.. I hope y'all are doing good and keeping our eyes on the Lord, even though some times things are hard in the mist of the storms..

Been sobbing for a few minutes lately, maybe because i just moved to another state and the adjustments, everything just happened, after breaking off with my SO, a month and half ago.



Sometimes it just sucks that I can't do that in person.

I think that my response got posted somewhere else, so I am replying again.
I too feel like the world is a playground and I am the dirt. However, i also know that God is there to help me. If I allow God to do so He will live His life through me. I know that I am dependent on Him and that I am His child.
My hope is to have a ministry which helps people.
