• 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.

for guys out there who have dealt with this - do you truly care about the people in your life when you are struggling with this? at times when you isolate, maybe out of guilt and shame/ depression/ etc. is it normal to lose interest in someone you used to be intensely attracted to after say a year? how did you? did you simply just move on to another girl? can the (first girl) remain someone you care about after you lose that type of interest if you have been friends?

i have to say though that there is a side of me too that reallyjust cares about him without the human side of relationship emotions. seeing things from God's eyes. its just not easy to always remain in that space. pls pray that i keep my focus on just loving his soul the way God does. i think i just need support for the times when i do think out of my flesh and not my spirit. thank you.
