• 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.

I'm feeling so down right now... I feel horrible..

I feel like nothing will get better.

I feel like I can't do this.

I'm shaking.

Being in nature is akin to being in God's Presence and always worked for me. Meditating on Psalms (audio) also helps. Stress, lack of sleep, eating disorders can also lead to temporary psychological issues. Family/relational issues can also have similar effects. Listening to relaxing music and re-focusing on the Lord always helps me. Prayers and God bless:).

:hug: You need hugs! During some of my stressful times (I can't explain the despair I felt), I got out of bed and took my Bible and read the Psalms. I pray that you find comfort in the Bible.

I'm sure I speak for many here that it breaks our hearts to hear how badly you feel and to not be able to help other than to pray, or post trying to offer help. Depression is a dark place...been there many times. For me it got easier to deal with and overcome as I grew older but I remember many years ago being helpless and so deeply sad that literally words couldn't express how much it hurt.

Yes i know how that goes but the truth is depressive thoughts lie and make us feel good life will not come back again. Some people cycle in and out of depression all their lives, it has been like that for me, in the end you get used to the numbness and the downs crushing and learn to keep your eyes on Jesus. Honest that is the battle sister. Please don't let your current pain dictate your decision making processes but realise you are having a dip and try and learn what went wrong and let Jesus correct it.

You can come out of this again, please never forget that.

Peace.
