• 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.

Do you ever feel kinda pushed away and unloved by the people who you trust and love most? My best friend for the last two years, ever since high school started, is amazing. I love her so much, and she knows it. but every once in a while she goes through a really tough time with her life, and I cant get through to her. I talk to her say, pray pray pray, things iwll get good, and I talk her through it, but she either tells me not to interfere with her life, says she cant, or somethign along those lines, and nothign I do helps. but then it seems like, mabye im just tlkaing to her at the wrong times, but like guys can get through to her that she has feelings for. if she likes a guy, he can get through to her and say, Pray, and she will and things iwll get better! its like my opinion doesnt relaly account for anything, b/c im just her best friedn adn shes knows I will be there. its like she has to wait for someone else to tell her, as if it deosn affect my life, but it deos affect these guys lives a whole lot, so she listens to them. I have told her and shes says, well you talk to me when im at hte worst of it, and they talk to me when im calming down. but I know that not entirely true b/c when this one guy told her to pray adn stuff, that was when she was on the verge of death practically he told her to, adn she listened to him. it made my heart break. she never listened to me said eff you dont interfere with me, and like...yeah it just made me feel like nothign I did matterd. it was stupid. and I felt really sad, and I still do b/c all her stories of coming bacl to God are, my really good guy frined adn stuff liek that, but I dont come in anywhere in helping her, even though I cried tons of nights to sleep and got all upset adn everythign over it adn tried to help her the most. I was by her side the most, and I got no credit,a dn its liek I did nothing. why does that happen!?
I dont know if you can help me or not, but try is you can. I love her and I relay wanted to be something to her, but its liek im not...

If she doesn't listen to you...okay, pray. Don't tell her to pray, pray for her yourself and pray for yourself...this is going to take you over if you don't stop and just give it up to God. You have to give it over to God...YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING!!! But God can do EVERYTHING. Give it all up to him and let him make the best out of it...let the Lord's will be done!
