• 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.

There aren't any good changes. All changes have something bad in them. And I hate people saying: "Oh, you've changed that..." etc.

empe, if you are not happy, then there are things you can do. Some change is good.

You need a new life in Jesus Christ. I don't mean salvation, you already have that.

You need medication to help you out of this depression, if that is what this is.

You need someone to talk to who cares about you.


I am praying for you.

I'm not going to talk to anybody except a psycholgist. I don't trust people because they can use my words against me at a later time.

It is very good to find a psychologist to talk to. Do you have one?

As for other people, not all people will turn against you.

When you are depressed it is important to find someone safe to talk to, someone who will honor confidentiality, and who will listen with an open heart.

There are several here who I trust like this. Any of the chaplains, for example. sinneD is another one. Criada can talk to you. I can talk to you. We are here for you.

I had a psychologist but he wasn't able to help me. I don't trust ANYBODY because I know that sooner or later all people are going to turn against me.

That's the depression talking. Depression LIES. It says that no one cares about you, and that you can never get better. Those are all the lies of depresion.

empe, don't listen to those lies. You can be helped. If your psychologist was not able to help you, go somewhere else, find another psychologist.

I had to change psychologists when I was ill because the first one didn't help me. The second one was wonderful. He was very kind, and very wise. You need to find someone like that.

We have a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Yes, people will fail us, just as we sometimes fail other people. However God never fails us.

Pro 18:24 A man of too many friends comes to ruin, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother



You are a special person, deeply loved by God and the people here care for you and want to encourage you.

Psa 139:13 For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb.
Psa 139:14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.
Psa 139:15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;
Psa 139:16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.
Psa 139:17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Psa 139:18 If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You.


Don't let the word "fearfully" in verse 14 throw you off. It has to do with reverance, not being scared.

That is very sad.
It isn't true.. but it is sad that you have no one you feel you can trust.
Can you talk to God? Because, ultimately, He is the one who can help us out of the messes we get into....
I'm afraid of talking to God. I've heard many stories saying that people who had trusted God lost their friends, parents, children etc because of death. I mean that if I trust God, something wrong can happen for instance to my parents because God would like to change my life in this way.

Oh, brother, I am sorry you feel that way. God does really want what is best for you, He isn't planning to hurt you.:hug:
There is a verse in Jeremiah which says:

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."(Jeremiah 29:11)

That is true, for you as well... even when things seem impossible.
:hug:
