• 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.

Keep up the good work, guys. You're doing fantastically, as always. Even if you've only made it one day ... you're still pushing for recovery. Even if you slip up more times than you can count ... you're still pushing for recovery. You will make it. And we will overcome!

Day 164. :)

Ari... you amaze me. And encourage. And inspire. Remember when you said you couldn't get past Day 3? And here you are, past Day 50! I'm so very proud of you! :hug::hug::hug:

Day 157! And it's all God. I could never have wanted to keep my day count going except for Him.

Thanks April :hug:

Hang in there, girls.
:hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:
I know I've not been here very much lately ... but I just wanted to pop in and tell you all that WE WILL OVERCOME. We'll make it through - "stand through the pain, you won't drown" (Stand in the Rain - Superchic[k]) - and come out the other side and discover what a gift life really is without the burden of SI.

Day 169.
(Any ideas for celebrating day 200? I've tried to think but I really don't want to go out to eat since I'm still having a lot of trouble with that, and I couldn't really come up with anything else ...)

Soulwings--> You are doing an amazing job! almost hitting 200! I am happy for you! Not sure how you can celebrate it..maybe find something you enjoy doing, and do it. Like for me, I know I'd go bowling and just have a good time. :-D

BrokenForHim--> Just keep trying! I know you can do it! I've got faith in you! :-D
