• 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.

It is true you don't belong in this world, for this world is a terrible place, but that doesn't mean that you just let yourself go down but rather it means that you need to find new life in Christ. And you can! He is available to you!

Your old miserable life would be good to get rid of or not? Suicide is not the answer the Bible gives us, but rather warns us about, but going to Jesus and following Him away from our misery that is what Scripture teaches.

To build With the bible a new you is the goal. A new life where the old hurting life is gone!

i wrote this poem when i realised that my life could be so much better a depressed person with Jesus on board He sure made my life worth living.

Be of good courage.

Bye Bye Old

I might as well die!
No perfection in my deeds!
Just agonising suffering!
What benefit to make it longer?

I might as well abscond,
my so called responsibility,
for I'm just a bondsman,
a slave to my physical reality.
Stuck with forces that only want,
forcing much hate on me,
bringing me untold misery,
raping me all day long!

It hurts to stay around!
So why not say goodbye,
moving along the rippling tide,
forgetting what is down here,
finding new horizons appearing,
instead of open warfare?

Why am I still fighting on?
Surely The Battle has been won!
God's Loving Truth is victorious,
also over my life!
That's all that matters in The End.

Bye bye old,
I'll dress in New.

I'm sitting here and life feels totally pointless. I don't feel like anything is worth anything. <staff edit>.

<staff edit>.

Praying for you, Angeleyes

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.


I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Please pay no attention to the extremely silly person telling you that you don't belong to this world. You do belong in this world and you have worth. Whatever is causing you pain and self-doubt is something that can be dealt with if you seek professional help. Very often all it takes is to be able to talk to someone who can show you that you are not a failure, that you are a person of worth and that you do have something to live for.
I'm sure your family and friends think you are a wonderful person and I bet the reason they think that is because you are, so please, seek help and learn to feel about yourself the way those who love you feel about you.
Have a long and happy life!

Sometimes when we are not walking with the Lord, that can happen. Are you praying constantly as Paul taught us to do (1 Thess 5:17)?
