• 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.

Yes! I really sat down and just started uncovering some ugly root beliefs... Once I did I was able to write some meaningful counters. And they helped.

My anxiety and depression are acting up again. Though I'm getting a job all I can think of are the worst...and that triggers my anxiety...

I just want live.

I have frequent nightmares, I don't sleep sometimes because of them and I'm tired of being hopeless and just having negative intrusive thoughts circle around my head.

I don't think on was ever this bad.

All this stems from being a late bloomer in life and feeling like I have no value or worth... And thinking these thoughts so long finally caught up with me.

Please list practical ways to recover from depression please. Not only that but to accept myself without a degree, still living at home ect... I want to make progress especially with my mind and thoughts ...

I want to be kind to myself.

Please help.
You are putting a lot of pressure on yourself

You live with your parents?
Are they opposed to this idea?
Or is it you who think you shouldn't be living with your parents?

You haven't finished your degree?
Are your parents willing to support your taking classes?
You are starting s new job. That is a big accomplishment in the right direction. You can save so as to start taking classes

These are good steps, farside
Be positive and hopeful
And be good to yourself

It appears that maybe you are the one who mostly isn't good to yourself

Don't feel like you have to rush things

You have to go at your pace
Not anyone else's

Do your parents pressure you to move out and/or to finish your degree

What helped me deal with my depression is to remember that whatever happened in the past is in the past. We can look back on it but we can't change what happened in our lives. I've had a rough childhood growing up and was "different" than the other kids. I was treated awful. I just pray to God when times are tough and I take deep breaths and say to myself 'this feeling will pass I am worth living'. Then in about 15 minutes all the feelings are gone and I'm back to normal. Hey I still live at home to with my parents there's nothing wrong with that. Trust me everybody is worth something. Everybody has a purpose. I may not know why I'm here but God has something planned for me and he does for you to.
