• 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 went to my grief support group today. We talked about heaven...and funerals and such and it was a really hard night for me. The funerals have so much pain yet to me. I know they are in Heaven and I'm so happy that they are. Yet that pain, that searing loss...it hurts. The memory of the funerals...the feelings I get when I think about it yet it hurts deep inside...because I miss them...terribly.

Thanks Ruth for praying. I just have those moments of intense pain. Things have been hard with both the grief and depression I am going through. It has totally drained me..I have no energy whatsoever.

I wonder if taking something to sleep would help? Do you have a doctor you see? I have gone through the pit you are going through. My doctor has helped me with conversation and medication. I think that possibly it could help you too. Jesus will lead you as you get closer to him. God bless you!

I do have something for sleep. I went to the doctor about 2 weeks ago, and I do have depression. So I have medication for the depression too, well the depression medication makes me very drowsy. It's just been hard to get through this week. I just started the depression meds this week. I have to find a new therapist as the therapist I was origionally going to go to does not work with our insurance. It's so hard right now. It's just everything seems to be changing all at once. It's a bit overwhelming.

Thanks. I'm having a better day today. I'm actually kind of happy, which I haven't felt this way in a logn time. I'm still tired though. I'm going to a sleepover tonight. I won't be able to stay up late though.

Well the sleepover didn't go so great. I fell asleep at 10:30 in the middle of the movie we were watching. They noticed I was asleep and started talking about me. I was feeling great up until last night. I started to feel really down again.

Cheer up my brother. You must know who you are and what you believe. Life is difficult now and it is okay because I know for a fact if you keep on believing and keeping on looking up life will get better. You are in my prayers and good thoughts
