• 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.

You are not a failure. 6 days is an accomplishment! Be thankful for living those 6 days. It certainly is not hopeless for you. As you've shown on several occasions, you are capable of going a whole day, and that's great. That's really all you need to think about is taking it one day at a time.

You are in my prayers.

Well done on 6 days!!
That is an achievemnet.
Like a baby learning to walk, you had a slip.
Now make a goal of getting to 6 again.
And like a baby, you may not the first time, but eventually you'll make 6 again, and then 7 and then 8 and so on.
It helps to have support, if you've not got someone from church, family, professional helping you, perhaps make that another goal, to find someone who can be with you on this.
And don't forget, we are here with you, praying for you and the Lord is with you too! He promises to always be with us!!

I got into a BIG fight with them a few nights ago...

I am just an awful person... ugh I am so low and depressed right now...

I don't take a lot of stock in that saying. Maybe once upon a time it was true.

I definately agree! My parents dont know me at all! They know what they want me to be, but they dont know me.
